Bro 2.6
=======
Bro 2.5.1
=========
New Functionality
-----------------
- Bro now includes bifs for rename, unlink, and rmdir.
- Bro now includes events for two extensions used by TLS 1.3:
ssl_extension_supported_versions and ssl_extension_psk_key_exchange_modes
- Bro now includes hooks that can be used to interact with log processing
on the C++ level.
- Bro now supports ERSPAN. Currently this ignores the ethernet header that is
carried over the tunnel; if a MAC is logged currently only the outer MAC
is returned.
- Added a new BroControl option CrashExpireInterval to enable
"broctl cron" to remove crash directories that are older than the
specified number of days (the default value is 0, which means crash
directories never expire).
- Added a new BroControl option MailReceivingPackets to control
whether or not "broctl cron" will mail a warning when it notices
that no packets were seen on an interface.
- There is a new broctl command-line option "--version" which outputs
the BroControl version.
Changed Functionality

situations do not cause Bro to stop watching input files anymore. The
old behavior is available through settings in the Ascii reader.
- The RADIUS scripts have been reworked. Requests are now logged even if
there is no response. The new framed_addr field in the log indicates
if the radius server is hinting at an address for the client. The ttl
field indicates how quickly the server is replying to the network access
server.
- With the introduction of the Bro package manager, the Bro plugin repository
is considered deprecated. The af_packet, postgresql, and tcprs plugins have
already been removed and are available via bro-pkg.
