In response to feedback from Robin:
- rename "ip_hdr" to "ip4_hdr"
- pkt_hdr$ip6 is now of type "ip6_hdr" instead of "ip6_hdr_chain"
- "ip6_hdr_chain" no longer contains an "ip6_hdr" field, instead
it's the other way around, "ip6_hdr" contains an "ip6_hdr_chain"
- other internal refactoring
* origin/topic/jsiwek/ipv6-ext-headers:
Update PacketFilter/Discarder code for IP version independence.
Add a few comments to IP.h
Fix some IPv6 header related bugs.
Add IPv6 fragment reassembly.
Add handling for IPv6 extension header chains (addresses #531)
The signatures of script-layer functions 'discarder_check_ip',
'discarder_check_tcp', 'discarder_check_udp', and 'discarder_check_icmp'
were changed to use the more general 'pkt_hdr' type as a parameter
instead of individual header types.
- IPv6 payload length calculation didn't count main 40 byte IPv6 header.
- Fix how IPv6 headers that use TLV options are built.
- Fix ip6_hdr_chain$ext_order starting index at 1 instead of 0.
- The script-layer 'pkt_hdr' type is extended with a new 'ip6' field
representing the full IPv6 header chain.
- The 'new_packet' event is now raised for IPv6 packets (addresses #523)
- A new event called 'ipv6_ext_header' is raised for any IPv6 packet
containing extension headers.
- A new event called 'esp_packet' is raised for any packets using ESP
('new_packet' and 'ipv6_ext_header' events provide connection info,
but that info can't be provided here since the upper-layer payload
is encrypted).
- The 'unknown_protocol' weird is now raised more reliably when Bro
sees a transport protocol or IPv6 extension header it can't handle.
(addresses #522)
Still need to do IPv6 fragment reassembly and needs more testing.
- non-binpac DNS analyzer now also generates dns_a6_reply event
- ExpectedConn class refactored to use IPAddr's
- BinaryExpr::AddrFold simplified
- IP_Hdr src/dst address accessor methods changed to construct IPAddr
objects on the fly from ip4/ip6 members.
Addresses #770.
Internally, all BROv6 preprocessor switches were removed and
addr/subnet representations wrapped in the new IPAddr/IPPrefix classes.
Some script-layer changes of note:
- dns_AAAA_reply event signature changed: the string representation
of an IPv6 addr is easily derived from the addr value, it doesn't
need to be another parameter. This event also now generated directly
by the DNS analyzer instead of being "faked" into a dns_A_reply event.
- removed addr_to_count BIF. It used to return the host-order
count representation of IPv4 addresses only. To make it more
generic, we might later add a BIF to return a vector of counts
in order to support IPv6.
- changed the result of enclosing addr variables in vertical pipes
(e.g. |my_addr|) to return the bit-width of the address type which
is 128 for IPv6 and 32 for IPv4. It used to function the same
way as addr_to_count mentioned above.
- remove bro_has_ipv6 BIF
