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.

Small modbus documentation update and tiny refactoring.
Final touches to modbus analyzer for now.
Major revisions to Modbus analyzer support (not quite done yet).
put some make-up on Modbus analyser

Modbus analyzer, current support: FC=3,4,5,6,7,16,22,23
Closes#915.
- I added this to the base scripts because it's very minimal overhead
and we get questions about this all the time. Now that reporter
messages are printed to the console, people will see the message
clearly if they have bad checksums.

I cleaned up the code a bit, mainly layout style.
I did not include the *.bro scripts for now, but a test script
../testing/btest/scripts/base/protocols/modbus/events.bro that prints
out the value for each event.
Merged the Modbus traces from the ics repository into a single trace
as input for the test. They currently trigger 20 of the 34 events.
Addresses #870.
- Metrics now work on cluster deployments with no caveats. It should be
completely transparent. Intermediate updates to speed some detection
will come later.
- bro.init was renamed to base/init-bare.bro and base/all.bro
was renamed to init-default.bro.
- To run in "bare mode" with only the init-bare.bro and no other
scripts from base/, use either -b or --bare-mode.
- The environment variable to run in "bare mode" has been removed.
