@ -67,14 +67,33 @@ New Functionality
- The SSL analysis now alert when encountering SSL connections with
old protocol versions or unsafe cipher suites.
- [TODO] Add new BroControl features.
- A new icmp_sent_payload event provides access to ICMP payload.
- Bro now parses DTLS traffic.
- Bro now has an RDP analyzer.
- BroControl now has a new command "deploy" which is equivalent to running
the "check", "install", "stop", and "start" commands (in that order).
- BroControl now has a new option "StatusCmdShowAll" that controls whether
or not the broctl "status" command gathers all of the status information.
This option can be used to make the "status" command run significantly
faster (in this case, the "Peers" column will not be shown in the output).
- BroControl now has a new option "StatsLogEnable" that controls whether
or not broctl will record information to the "stats.log" file. This option
can be used to make the "broctl cron" command run slightly faster (in this
case, "broctl cron" will also no longer send email about not seeing any
packets on the monitoring interfaces).
- BroControl now has a new option "MailHostUpDown" which controls whether or
not the "broctl cron" command will send email when it notices that a host
in the cluster is up or down.
- BroControl now has a new option "CommandTimeout" which specifies the number
of seconds to wait for a command that broctl ran to return results.
Changed Functionality
---------------------
@ -114,8 +133,6 @@ Changed Functionality
- The default name for extracted files changed from extract-protocol-id
to extract-timestamp-protocol-id.
- [TODO] Add changed BroControl features.
- The weird named "unmatched_HTTP_reply" has been removed since it can
be detected at the script-layer and is handled correctly by the
default HTTP scripts.
@ -131,6 +148,24 @@ Changed Functionality
- TODO: what SSH events got changed or removed?
- BroControl now establishes only one ssh connection from the manager to
each remote host in a cluster configuration (previously, there would be
one ssh connection per remote Bro process).
- BroControl now uses SQLite to record state information instead of a
plain text file (the file "spool/broctl.dat" is no longer used).
On FreeBSD, this means that there is a new dependency on the package
"py27-sqlite3".
- BroControl now records the expected running state of each Bro node right
before each start or stop. The "broctl cron" command uses this info to
either start or stop Bro nodes as needed so that the actual state matches
the expected state (previously, "broctl cron" could only start nodes in
the "crashed" state, and could never stop a node).
- BroControl now sends all normal command output (i.e., not error messages)
to stdout. Error messages are still sent to stderr, however.
Deprecated Functionality
