Now, in addition to setting thresholds for bytes and packet, one can set
a threshold for connection duration. Note that the threshold event is
only raised once the next packet in the connection is seen.
This also fixes a small pre-existing bug, in which a bunch of warnings
were raised if someone just used the lower-level functions without going
through the higher-level scripting API.
This also installs symlinks from "zeek" and "bro-config" to a wrapper
script that prints a deprecation warning.
The btests pass, but this is still WIP. broctl renaming is still
missing.
#239
It relies on the heuristics of GridFTP data channels commonly default to
SSL mutual authentication with a NULL bulk cipher and that they usually
transfer large datasets (default threshold of script is 1 GB). The
script also defaults to skip_further_processing() after detection to try
to save cycles analyzing the large, benign connection.
Also added a script in base/protocols/conn/polling that generalizes the
process of polling a connection for interesting features. The GridFTP
data channel detection script depends on it to monitor bytes
transferred.
