4.19 How do I test Snort alerts and logging?

Try a rule that will fire off all the time like: 

alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"TCP traffic";)

Also take a look at sneeze at http://snort.sourceforge.net/sneeze-1.0.tar Sneeze is a false positive generator that reads snort signatures and generates packets that will trigger the rules.
