Depends on what the client wants -- is this 'zero knowledge'? What's
fair game? This is part of the scope determination.

Not really sure what use Snort would be. That said, you should first
have a basic methodology for the test (footprint, enumeration, etc.),
and *that* will drive your tools. Putting the tools ahead of the
process is asking for trouble.
