That could occur either in taking a zero-length mask on an IPv6 address
(e.g. [fe80::]/0) or a reverse mask of length 128 on any address (e.g.
via the remask_addr BuiltIn Function).
I've used the opportunity to also cleanup DPD's expect_connection()
infrastructure, and renamed that bif to schedule_analyzer(), which
seems more appropiate. One can now also schedule more than one
analyzer per connection.
TODOs:
- "make install" is probably broken.
- Broxygen is probably broken for plugin-defined events.
- event groups are broken (do we want to keep them?)
- parallel btest is broken, but I'm not sure why ...
(tests all pass individually, but lots of error when running
in parallel; must be related to *.bif restructuring).
- Document API for src/plugin/*
- Document API for src/analyzer/Analyzer.h
- Document API for scripts/base/frameworks/analyzer
This is a larger internal change that moves the analyzer
infrastructure to a more flexible model where the available analyzers
don't need to be hardcoded at compile time anymore. While currently
they actually still are, this will in the future enable external
analyzer plugins. For now, it does already add the capability to
dynamically enable/disable analyzers from script-land, replacing the
old Analyzer::Available() methods.
There are three major parts going into this:
- A new plugin infrastructure in src/plugin. This is independent
of analyzers and will eventually support plugins for other parts
of Bro as well (think: readers and writers). The goal is that
plugins can be alternatively compiled in statically or loadead
dynamically at runtime from a shared library. While the latter
isn't there yet, there'll be almost no code change for a plugin
to make it dynamic later (hopefully :)
- New analyzer infrastructure in src/analyzer. I've moved a number
of analyzer-related classes here, including Analyzer and DPM;
the latter now renamed to Analyzer::Manager. More will move here
later. Currently, there's only one plugin here, which provides
*all* existing analyzers. We can modularize this further in the
future (or not).
- A new script interface in base/framework/analyzer. I think that
this will eventually replace the dpm framework, but for now
that's still there as well, though some parts have moved over.
I've also remove the dpd_config table; ports are now configured via
the analyzer framework. For exmaple, for SSH:
const ports = { 22/tcp } &redef;
event bro_init() &priority=5
{
...
Analyzer::register_for_ports(Analyzer::ANALYZER_SSH, ports);
}
As you can see, the old ANALYZER_SSH constants have more into an enum
in the Analyzer namespace.
This is all hardly tested right now, and not everything works yet.
There's also a lot more cleanup to do (moving more classes around;
removing no longer used functionality; documenting script and C++
interfaces; regression tests). But it seems to generally work with a
small trace at least.
The debug stream "dpm" shows more about the loaded/enabled analyzers.
A new option -N lists loaded plugins and what they provide (including
those compiled in statically; i.e., right now it outputs all the
analyzers).
This is all not cast-in-stone yet, for some things we need to see if
they make sense this way. Feedback welcome.
As we can't use the IPAddr class (because it's not thread-safe), this
involved a bit manual address manipulation and also shuffling some
things around a bit.
Not fully working yet, the tests for remote logging still fail.
Also fix IPAddr::Mask/ReverseMask not allowing argument of 0.
And clarified return value of to_addr bif when the input string
does not parse into a valid IP address.
pass yet.
Changes:
- Gave IPAddress/IPPrefix methods AsString() so that one doesn't need
to cast to get a string represenation.
- Val::AsAddr()/AsSubnet() return references rather than pointers. I
find that more intuitive.
- ODesc/Serializer/SerializationFormat get methods to support
IPAddress/IPPrefix directly.
- Reformatted the comments in IPAddr.h from /// to /** style.
- Given IPPrefix a Contains() method.
- A bit of cleanup.
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
