- Add a DNS based updating method. This needs to be tested still.
- Vulnerable version ranges are used now instead
of only single versions. This can deal with
software with multiple stable major versions.
- Removed default logging. Now a function is available for the new
$period_finished filter field to get the same behavior for logging
named Metrics::write_log.
- Added index rollups for getting multiple metrics result values
as the same time.
- Basic API seems to works, but tests aren't updated yet.
- Several scripts are available in policy/frameworks/intel that
call the "seen" function to provide data into the intel
framework to be tested.
- Intel::policy is not done yet and needs to be discussed to
figure out what it needs to have.
- Running the intel framework and having it do something finally
is really cool!
This usually requires specifying an additional zone identifier
(see RFC 4007). The connect() and listen() BIFs have been
changed to accept this zone identifier as an argument.
- Communication::listen_ipv6 needs to be redef'd to true in order
for IPv6 listening sockets to be opened.
- Added Communication::listen_retry option as an interval at which
to retry binding to socket addresses that were already in use.
- Added some explicit baselines to check in the istate.events
and istate.events-ssl tests -- the SSL test was incorrectly
passing because it compared two empty files. (The files being
empty because "http/base" was given as an argument to Bro which
it couldn't handle because that script doesn't exist anymore).
- New script measures a couple of aspects of SMTP traffic.
- Existing metrics scripts had a small amount of work done
to make them work with changes to metrics framework.
- Simplified the communication API and made it easier to change
to encrypted connections by not having separate variables to
define encrypted and unencrypted ports.
- Now, to enable listening without configuring nodes just
load the frameworks/communication/listen script.
- If encrypted listening is desired set the following:
redef Communication::listen_encrypted=T;
- Accompanying test updates.
- fixing some Metrics::add_data() call signatures
- slight refactors to cluster framework @if and adding a NONE NodeType for
so local_node_type() will return that instead of just emitting an error
when cluster mode isn't enabled
- `make restdoc` target now uses bro's bare-mode
- bro scripts generated from bifs now really only live in the build/src/base/
directory and changed the DocSourcesList.cmake to dynamically figure out
what bifs exist by looking in src/ instead of build/src/
- add some missing @load dependencies
- Metrics now work on cluster deployments with no caveats. It should be
completely transparent. Intermediate updates to speed some detection
will come later.
- Metrics API is much more similar to the Logging framework's API now.
- Filters define all output and metrics collection now.
- Initial attempt at thresholding and generating notices.
- Fixing the parts of the `make restdoc` and `make doc` process that were
broken by the last Bro script re-organization
- Generated documentation for Bro scripts derived from BiFs now use the
original BiF source file as the "original source file" link
- Renaming of the internal POLICYDEST definition and other misc places that
refer to "policy" scripts; that terminology doesn't make total sense now
- Added a documentation blacklist reminder test that will fail if there's
scripts that are blacklisted from being documentated because they're still
in progress
- Some minor Bro script changes to fix small @load dependency errors
Addresses #543
The communication subsystem is now disabled until a new BiF,
enable_communication(), is called. The base scripts do this
automatically when either a Communication::Node is defined, or Bro is
asked to listen for incoming connections.
- policy/ renamed to scripts/
- By default BROPATH now contains:
- scripts/
- scripts/policy
- scripts/site
- *Nearly* all tests pass.
- All of scripts/base/ is loaded by main.cc
- Can be disabled by setting $BRO_NO_BASE_SCRIPTS
- Scripts in scripts/base/ don't use relative path loading to ease use of BRO_NO_BASE_SCRIPTS (to copy and paste that script).
- The scripts in scripts/base/protocols/ only (or soon will only) do logging and state building.
- The scripts in scripts/base/frameworks/ add functionality without causing any additional overhead.
- All "detection" activity happens through scripts in scripts/policy/.
- Communications framework modified temporarily to need an environment variable to actually enable (ENABLE_COMMUNICATION=1)
- This is so the communications framework can be loaded as part
of the base without causing trouble when it's not needed.
- This will be removed once a resolution to ticket #540 is reached.
