- 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.
- Move more functionality into base class.
- Remove cctors and assignment operators (weren't actually needed anymore)
- Switch from const char* to std::string.
- Enable manager to associate analyzers with a MIME type. With that,
one can now say enable all analyzers for, e.g., "image/gif". This is
exposed to script-land as
Files::add_analyzers_for_mime_type(f: fa_file, mtype: string)
For MIME types identified via libmagic, this happens automatically
(via the file_new() handler in files/main.bro).
- Extend the analyzer API to better match that of protocol analyzers:
- Adding unique analyzer IDs so that we can refer to instances
from script-land.
- Adding subtypes to Components so that a single analyzer
implementation can support different types of analyzers
internally.
- Add an analyzer method SetTag() that allows to set the tag after
construction.
- Adding Init() and Done() methods for consistency with what other
classes offer.
- Add debug logging to the file_analysis stream.
TODO: test cases missing for the new script-land functionality.
Made some class templates for code that seemed duplicated between
file/protocol tags and managers. Seems like it helps a bit and
hopefully can be also be used to transition other things that have
enum value "tags" (e.g. logging writers, input readers) to the
plugin system.
This cleans up internals of how analyzer instances get identified by the
tag plus any args given to it and doesn't change script code a user
would write.
