- Add more guards against trying to analyze captured packets with a
truncated IPv6 static header or extension header chain.
- Add back in the ICMP payload tracking for ICMP "connections".
- Fix 'icmp_context' record construction. Some field assignments
were mismatched for ICMP and ICMP6. Source and destination
addresses were set incorrectly for context packets that don't
contain a full IP header. Some fields for ICMP6 weren't filled out.
- Changed ICMP Time Exceeded packets to raise the 'icmp_time_exceeded'
event instead of 'icmp_error_message'.
- Add unit tests for truncation and the main types of ICMP/ICMP6
that have specific events.
- Documentation clarifications.
* origin/topic/jsiwek/mobile-ipv6:
Add support for mobile IPv6 Mobility Header (RFC 6275).
Refactor IP_Hdr routing header handling, add MobileIPv6 Home Address handling.
Revert TCP checksumming to cache common data, like it did before.
Revert "Improve handling of IPv6 Routing Type 0 headers."
Improve handling of IPv6 routing type 0 extension headers.
- Accessible at script-layer through 'mobile_ipv6_message' event.
- All Mobile IPv6 analysis now enabled through --enable-mobile-ipv6
configure-time option, otherwise the mobility header, routing type 2,
and Home Address Destination option are ignored.
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.
- 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.
- Large rework on packet filter framework to make many things easier.
- Removed the PacketFilter::all_packets variable because it was confusing.
- New variable (PacketFilter::enable_auto_protocol_capture_filters) to re-enable the old filtering model of only sniffing ports for analyzed protocols.
- In progress plugin model for adding filtering mechanisms.
- New default single item for capture_filters = { ["default"] = PacketFilter::default_capture_filter };
- Mechanism and helper functions to "shunt" traffic with filters.
- Created the Protocols framework to assist with reworking how base protocol scripts are registered with DPD and other things.
- Protocols framework creates BPF filters for registered analyzers. (if using PacketFilter framework in that mode).
Also replaced the --snaplen/-l command line option with a
scripting-layer option called "snaplen" (which can also be
redefined on the command line, e.g. `bro -i eth0 snaplen=65535`).
- Reorganize top-level 'doc' Makefile target so submodules can easily
add their own doc-generating routines to it. e.g. the Bro project
makes a placeholder 'doc' target, then adds 'restdoc', 'sphinxdoc';
later Broccoli can add it's own target as a dependency for generating
API docs.
- Fixed generated docs for BIFs not being organized under a base/
subdirectory like the original source files.
- Fixed documentation style for function parameters not applying to
functions declared as record fields.
- Misc. script documentation tweaks to address warnings given by Sphinx.
