documentation, test suite update
implemented set relationals
bug fix for set intersection
set intersection implemented
mirroring previous topic/vern/set-ops to get branch up to date, since I'm a n00b
Fixed a couple memory leaks and added a leak test
The generation of weird events, by default, are now rate-limited
according to these tunable options:
- Weird::sampling_whitelist
- Weird::sampling_threshold
- Weird::sampling_rate
- Weird::sampling_duration
The new get_reporter_stats() BIF also allows one to query the
total number of weirds generated (pre-sampling) which the new
policy/misc/weird-stats.bro script uses periodically to populate
a weird_stats.log.
There's also new reporter BIFs to allow generating weirds from the
script-layer such that they go through the same, internal
rate-limiting/sampling mechanisms:
- Reporter::conn_weird
- Reporter::flow_weird
- Reporter::net_weird
Some of the code was adapted from previous work by Johanna Amann.
In some cases one can get the Type() of unaryexpr to be ANY. Vectors so
far did not deal gracefully with this and crashed because trying to
convert any to a vectortype.
This patch fixes this by just using the original vector-type in this
case.

Mostly trying to standardize the way tests sleep for arbitrary amounts
of time to make it easier to tell at which particular point the

debugged further).
* 'Reporter/MessageFix' of https://github.com/catenacyber/bro:
Better reporter for Brostring with embedded NUL
I slightly changed the code for beautification purposes and added a
testcase. No functional changes.
The configuration framework consists of three mostly distinct parts:
* option variables
* the config reader
* the script level framework
I will describe the three elements in the following.
Internally, this commit also performs a range of changes to the Input
manager; it marks a lot of functions as const and introduces a new
ValueToVal method (which could in theory replace the already existing
one - it is a bit more powerful).
This also changes SerialTypes to have a subtype for Values, just as
Fields already have it; I think it was mostly an oversight that this was
not introduced from the beginning. This should not necessitate any code
changes for people already using SerialTypes.
option variable
===============
The option keyword allows variables to be specified as run-tine options.
Such variables cannot be changed using normal assignments. Instead, they
can be changed using Option::set. It is possible to "subscribe" to
options and be notified when an option value changes.
Change handlers can also change values before they are applied; this
gives them the opportunity to reject changes. Priorities can be
specified if there are several handlers for one option.
Example script:
option testbool: bool = T;
function option_changed(ID: string, new_value: bool): bool
{
print fmt("Value of %s changed from %s to %s", ID, testbool, new_value);
return new_value;
}
event bro_init()
{
print "Old value", testbool;
Option::set_change_handler("testbool", option_changed);
Option::set("testbool", F);
print "New value", testbool;
}
config reader
=============
The config reader provides a way to read configuration files back into
Bro. Most importantly it automatically converts values to the correct
types. This is important because it is at least inconvenient (and
sometimes near impossible) to perform the necessary type conversions in
Bro scripts themselves. This is especially true for sets/vectors.
Configuration generally look like this:
[option name][tab/spaces][new variable value]
so, for example:
testaddr 2607:f8b0:4005:801::200e
testinterval 60
testtime 1507321987
test_set a b c d erdbeerschnitzel
The reader uses the option name to look up the type that variable has in
the Bro core and automatically converts the value to the correct type.
Example script use:
type Idx: record {
option_name: string;
};
type Val: record {
option_val: string;
};
global currconfig: table[string] of string = table();
event InputConfig::new_value(name: string, source: string, id: string, value: any)
{
print id, value;
}
event bro_init()
{
Input::add_table([$reader=Input::READER_CONFIG, $source="../configfile", $name="configuration", $idx=Idx, $val=Val, $destination=currconfig, $want_record=F]);
}
Script-level config framework
=============================
The script-level framework ties these two features together and makes
them a bit more convenient to use. Configuration files can simply be
specified by placing them into Config::config_files. The framework also
creates a config.log that shows all value changes that took place.
Usage example:
redef Config::config_files += {configfile};
export {
option testbool : bool = F;
}
The file is now monitored for changes; when a change occurs the
respective option values are automatically updated and the value change
is written to config.log.
handlers.
It's well known that changes to mutable event arguments, like tables,
become visible to all places where those values are used, including
subsequent handlers of the same event. However, there's a related case
that's more suprising: simply assigning *a new value* to an event
argument passes through, too. This commit fixes that behaviour. (We
even had a btest with a baseline reflecting the problen).
IP packets that have a header length that is greater than the total
length of the packet cause a integer overflow, which cause range-checks
to fail, which causes OOB reads.
Furthermore Bro does not currently check the version field of IP packets
that are read from tunnels. I added this check - otherwhise Bro reports
bogus IP information in its error messages, just converting the data
from the place where the IP information is supposed to be to IPs.
This behavior brings us closer to what other software (e.g. Wireshark)
displays in these cases.
This is a small caveat to this implementation. The ethernet
header that is carried over the tunnel is ignored. If a user
tries to do MAC address logging, it will only show the MAC
addresses for the outer tunnel and the inner MAC addresses
will be stripped and not available anywhere.
If connection flipping occured in Sessions.cc code (invoked e.g. when
the original SYN is missing), layer 2 flipping was not performed. This
change switches to always use the connection flipping code in Conn.cc
which performs the switch correctly.
non-partial connections.
Before, if we saw a responder-side SYN/ACK, but had not seen the
initial orginator-side SYN, Bro would treat the connection as partial,
meaning that most application-layer analyzers would refuse to inspect
the payload. That was unfortunate because all payload data was
actually there (and even passed to the analyzers). This change make
Bro consider these connections as complete, so that analyzers will
just normally process them.
The leads to couple more connections in the test-suite to now being
analyzed.
Addresses #1492. (I used an HTTP trace for debugging instead of the
HTTPS trace from the ticket, as the clear-text makes it easier to
track the data flow).
The link-layer addresses are now part of the connection endpoints
following the originator-responder-pattern. The addresses are printed
with leading zeros. Additionally link-layer addresses are also extracted
for 802.11 plus RadioTap.
When Bro was compiled with broker disabled, then some Bro scripts
were referencing functions and types that were not defined. Fixed
by adding @ifdefs to several scripts. Removed one @ifdef because
it was causing several unit tests to fail.
Also fixed the @TEST-REQUIRES check in tests that rely on broker so
that such tests are skipped when broker is disabled.
Simplified some function names, fixed some names of broker script wrappers,
reorder some broker function calls to avoid potential race conditions, and
don't have bro read a trace file when it will not be used.
Radiotap support should be fully functional now with Radiotap
packets that include IPv4 and IPv6. Other radiotap packets are
silently ignored. This includes a test which has 802.11 headers
both with and without QoS data.
The generalizedtime support in for certificates now fits more
seamlessly to how the rest of the code was structured and does the
different processing for UTC and generalized times at the beginning,
when checking for them.
The test does not output the common name anymore, since the output
format might change accross openssl versions (inserted the serial
instead).
I also added a bit more error checking for the UTC time case.
I reworked this a bit:
- Moved the globals into a new Pcap::* namespace, and renamed them
slightly.
- Moved the definitions of the globals into pcap/const.bif.
- Also moved the existing 'snaplen' into Pcap::* and removed
SnapLen() from the PktSrc API (it's really a pcap thing).
- Likewise moved the existing functions precompile_pcap_filter,
install_pcap_filter, and pcap_error, into Pcap::*.
- Did some more refactoring for the pcap code.
