- Plain text now identified with BOMs for UTF8,16,32
(even though 16 and 32 wouldn't get identified as plain text, oh-well)
- X.509 certificates are now populating files.log with
the mime type application/pkix-cert.
- File signatures are split apart into file types
to help group and organize signatures a bit better.
- Normalized some FILE_ANALYSIS debug messages.
- Improved Javascript detection.
- Improved HTML detection.
- Removed a bunch of bad signatures.
- Merged a bunch of signatures that ultimately detected
the same mime type.
- Added detection for MS LNK files.
- Added detection for cross-domain-policy XML files.
- Added detection for SOAP envelopes.
Also changed asynchronous data store query code a bit; trying to make
memory management and handling of corner cases a bit clearer (former
maybe could still be better, but I need to lookup queries by memory
address to associate response cookies to them, and so wrapping pointers
kind of just gets in the way).
These functions are now deprecated in favor of alternative versions that
return a vector of strings rather than a table of strings.
Deprecated functions:
- split: use split_string instead.
- split1: use split_string1 instead.
- split_all: use split_string_all instead.
- split_n: use split_string_n instead.
- cat_string_array: see join_string_vec instead.
- cat_string_array_n: see join_string_vec instead.
- join_string_array: see join_string_vec instead.
- sort_string_array: use sort instead instead.
- find_ip_addresses: use extract_ip_addresses instead.
Changed functions:
- has_valid_octets: uses a string_vec parameter instead of string_array.
Addresses BIT-924, BIT-757.
- Re-arrange how some fa_file fields (e.g. source, connection info, mime
type) get updated/set for consistency.
- Add more robust mechanisms for flushing the reassembly buffer.
The goal being to report all gaps and deliveries to file analyzers
regardless of the state of the reassembly buffer at the time it has to
be flushed.
The openflow framework now supports multiple
controllers. The design now looks a bit object
oriented and a new() function creates a controller
record.
Moved the JSON script from the JSON namespace into a
openflow specific OpenflowJSON namespace
Added a function to receive status from the switch through the
openflow controller. (not yet implemented anywhere)
The flow_mod and flow_stats function now have default values which
report that the function is not implemented when they're called but
no plugin has registered its functions for them.
- Remove all of the x-c detections. Nearly all false
positives.
- Remove the back up TAR detections. Not very helpful.
- Remove one of the x-elc detections that was too loose
and caused many false positives.
the openflow framework does now use events to signal
the success or failure of openflow commands, further
the reporter framework is used to log errors.
added bro unique cookie, so the framework can recognize
which flows it installed and which not.
documented all of the code.
the code style should now me more like the rest of the
bro code.
- Change to the default BOF buffer size to 3000 (was 1024).
- Reorganized MS signatures into a separate file
- Improved lots of the signatures and added new ones.
- This moves the signatures out of the libmagic imported signatures
and into our own general.sig.
- Expand the detection to LZMA compressed flash files.
The intel framework can now indicate which node discovered a
hit on an intel item through the new "node" field in the
Intel::Seen data structure. On clusters, this field will
contain the name of the node where the hit was seen.
with a MIME type.
Whenever that MIME is detected, Bro will now automatically activate
the analyzer. The interface mimics how well-known ports are defined
for protocol analyzers.
This isn't actually used by any existing file analyzer (because we
don't have any yet that target a specific file format), but there's a
test making sure it works.
