How to get deliberately attacked?

Neil is right you may get way more than you bargained for.

In terms of ways to generate attacks it's been a while since I looked at them but I know there are a few security scanning tools that may be of use

Do it yourself guide to hacking your own box

Setup one of the 5 listed below on a linux (or other unix) box outside your network and have it scan your firewall. If you scan with any of the first 4 you should get loads and loads of logs from your firewall. If I remember right SATAN also had a stealth mode of operation. IF you use SATAN then try it in that mode and see how much your firewall detects. Put it this way if your firewall can detect and keep out both SATAN and NESSUS I'd say your pretty safe. That is unless you have very powerfull (and skilled) enemies on the Internet.

1) SATAN (free) is the original but is now a bit outdated http://www.porcupine.org/satan

2) NESSUS (Free) Probably better than SATAN http://www.nessus.org/intro.html

3) SAINT (commercial) is an enhancement of SATAN http://www.saintcorporation.com/products/saint_engine.html

4) SARA (commercial) is probbaly one of the best http://www.www-arc.com/sara/

5) Scanlogd (Free) is a simple port scanner http://www.openwall.com/scanlogd/
