Abstract :

This paper configured a system that is used for testing the performance of firewall IDS /IPS. Firewall IDS (Intrusion Detection System)/IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) are used for protecting the Network and preventing the network from Intrusions. We are Generating traffic for different link speeds and testing the performance of the network where Firewall IDS and IPS are implemented. We are using the open-source tool Ostinato for packet crafting and traffic generation towards the network which performance to measure. In the network, for IDS/IPS. we used open-source IDS/IPS that is snort and for the firewall we used iptables, iptables is an inbuilt software firewall in Linux based operating system. For testing, there is one system configured for packet crafting and generation where Ostinato is configured and another system that is to be tested for performance, both the system connected with isolated LAN cable CAT 5e that have 100Mbps speed have two 100Mbps Ethernet cards. So generated packets are analyzed by a snort and at the end, by snort, we get how many packets analysis and how many are dropped.
