Count of malicious requests ?

[maldwg]

Hello there 👋,
I am currently trying to use tmNIDS as a tool to evaluate different IDSs. But to know, if the systems are performing well or not, it would be interesting to know how many requests are actually send during the execution of one test (I am using the Chaos tests but I guess it would be interesting as well for all tests cases seperately). Also are there any benign requests in between or can I assume that each requests generated is to be regarded as malicious? It would be very cool if you could provide these statistics ( if available ). I am aware that I could use Wireshark to capture the traffic and count the packets, however, I guess it is more precise if you had the numbers at hand.
Thank you in advance and kind regards :)
