Currently, siphash is used for strings up to 36 bytes. hmac-md5 is used
for longer strings.
This switch-over is a remnant of the previous hash-function that was
used, which apparently was slower with longer input strings.
This change serves no purpose anymore. I performed a few performance tests
on strings of varying sizes:
For a 40 byte string with 10 million iterations:
siphash: 0.31 seconds
hmac-md5: 3.8 seconds
For a 1080 byte string with 10 million iterations:
siphash: 4.2 seconds
hmac-md5: 17 seconds
For a 18360 byte string with 10 million iterations:
siphash: 69 seconds
hmac-md5: 240 seconds
Hence, this commit removes the use of hmac-md5.
This change causes reordering of lines in a few logs.
This commit also changes the datastructure for the seed in probabilistic/Hasher
to get rid of a type-punning warning.
When inserting, existance of the given subnet is checked using exact
matching instead of longest prefix matching. Before, inserting a subnet
would have updated the subnet item, which is the longest prefix of the
inserted subnet, if present.
File Analysis Framework related code has been moved into a separate
script. Using redefinitions of the corresponding records causes the
file-related columns to appear last.
The intel-framework now supports the new indicator type Intel::SUBNET.
As subnets are matched against seen addresses, the field matched was
introduced to indicate which indicator types caused the hit. A testcase
for subents was added and the old ones have been updated accordingly.
