Versus from synchronous function calls, which doesn't work well because
the function call can see a script-layer state that doesn't reflect
the state as it will be in terms of the event/network stream.
Other misc:
- Remove HTTP::MD5 notice.
- Add "last_active" field to FileAnalysis::Info record.
- Replace "conn_uids", "conn_ids" fields in FileAnalysis::Info record
with just a "conns" fields containing full connection records.
- The http-methods unit test is failing now, but I think it will be
fixed once I change the file handle callback mechanism to use events
instead.
The framework now cycles through callbacks based on a table indexed
by analyzer tags, or the special case of service strings if a given
analyzer is overloaded for multiple protocols (FTP/IRC data). This
lets each protocol script bundle implement the callback locally and
reduces the FAF's external dependencies.
For files that go over a single connection, add connection start time
to handle, so the file id will always differ even if the same connection
parameters are later used to transfer a file (same one or different).
So much nicer!
Closes#954.
* origin/topic/seth/notice-framework-updates:
Update notice framework documentation to represent the new reality.
Complete removal of the old table based notice policy mechanism.
Updates for the notices framework.
The add_action, remove_action, and stop BIFs now go through a queue to
ensure that modifications are made at well-defined times and don't end
up invalidating loop iterators.
The Info record now uses a "table[ActionArgs] of ActionResults", which
allows for simultaneous actions of a given type as long as other args
(fields in the ActionArgs record) are different.
Added the file extraction action and did other misc. cleanup. Most of
the minimal core features/support for file analysis should be working at
this point, just have to start fleshing things out.
- Moved the Notice::notice event and Notice::policy table to both be hooks.
- Renamed the old Notice::policy to Notice::policy_table and documented it as deprecated.
Added a generic gtpv1_message event generated for any GTP message type.
Added specific events for the create/update/delete PDP context
request/response messages.
Addresses #934.
These cases should be avoidable by fixing scripts where they occur and
they can also help catch typos that would lead to unintentional runtime
behavior.
Adding this already revealed several scripts where a field in an inlined
record was never removed after a code refactor.
* origin/topic/bernhard/input-logging-commmon-functions:
add the last of Robins suggestions (separate info-struct for constructors).
port memory leak fix from master
harmonize function naming
move AsciiInputOutput over to threading
and thinking about it, ascii-io doesn't need the separator
change constructors
and factor stuff out the input framework too.
factor out ascii input/output.
std::string accessors to escape_sequence functionality
intermediate commit - it has been over a month since I touched this...
I cleaned up the AsciiInputOutput class somewhat, including renaming
it to AsciiFormatter, renaming some of its methods, and turning the
static methods into members for consistency.
Closes#929.
Moved this functionality to be internal instead of in the script-layer
event handlers. The issue with the later is that bad things can happen
between the time a reporter event handler is dispatched and the time it
is executed, and if bro crashes in that time, the message may never be
seen/logged.
Addressed #930 (and revisits #836).
Both local and global variables declared with "const" could be modified,
but now expressions that would modify them should generate an error
message at parse-time.
First step - factored out everything the logging classes
use ( so only output ).
Moved the script-level configuration to logging/main,
and made the individual writers just refer to it -
no idea if this is good design. It works. But I am happy
about opinions :)
Next step - add support for input...
'only_single_header_row' that turns the output into CSV format.
In that mode all meta data is skipped except for a single header line
with the fields names. Example:
local my_filter: Log::Filter = [$name = "my-filter", $writer = Log::WRITER_ASCII, $config = table(["only_single_header_row"] = "T")];

Closes#914.
This currently supports automatic decapsulation of GTP-U packets on
UDP port 2152.
The GTPv1 headers for such tunnels can be inspected by handling the
"gtpv1_g_pdu_packet" event, which has a parameter of type "gtpv1_hdr".
Analyzer and test cases are derived from submissions by Carsten Langer.
Addresses #690.
more cases.
It will now not only fire after table-reads have been completed,
but also after the last event of a whole-file-read (or whole-db-read, etc.).
The interface also has been extended a bit to allow readers to
directly fire the event should they so choose. This allows the
event to be fired in direct table-setting/event-sending modes,
which was previously not possible.
