A flood of DHCP traffic can result if very large log entries consisting
of many uids and/or msg_types. Such large log entries can disrupt a SIEM
ingestion pipeline. This change forcing a log entry to be written when
the number of uids or the number of msg_Types exceed a certain value.
The values are treated as options for easy configuration.
- Use `-b` most everywhere, it will save time.
- Start some intel tests upon the input file being fully read instead of
at an arbitrary time.
- Improve termination condition for some sumstats/cluster tests.
- Filter uninteresting output from some supervisor tests.
- Test for `notice_policy.log` is no longer needed.
For `DHCP::ClientID$hwtype` fields equal to 0, the `hwaddr` field is
no longer misformatted as a MAC and instead just contains the raw bytes
seen in the DHCP Client ID Option.
This also installs symlinks from "zeek" and "bro-config" to a wrapper
script that prints a deprecation warning.
The btests pass, but this is still WIP. broctl renaming is still
missing.
#239
Highlights:
- Reduced all DHCP events into a single dhcp_message event. (removed legacy events since they weren't widely used anyway)
- Support many more DHCP options.
- DHCP log is completely reworked and now represents DHCP sessions
based on the transaction ID (and works on clusters).
- Removed the known-devices-and-hostnames script since it's generally
less relevant now with the updated log.
