The former replaces the pcap vs. live versions of the same tuning
option. If a user does not change these, Bro makes some internal
decisions that may help avoid performance problems on systems with high
core counts: the number of CAF threads is capped at 8 and the maximum
sleep duration for under-utilized threads is increased to 64ms (CAF's
default is 10ms).
These may be used to change the number of scheduler threads that the
underlying CAF library creates. In pcap mode, it's currently hardcoded
to the minimal 4 threads due to potentially significant overhead in CAF.
This environment variable is now set to listen only on IPv4 loopback
when running unit tests (instead of using the default INADDR_ANY).
This also moves some of the @loads out from init-bare.bro into a new
init-frameworks-and-bifs.bro in order to better support calling BIFs
(like `getenv`) from variable initializations in those particular
frameworks.
This is a fairly straightforward change. Previously, users had no
control over whether this script was loaded. By relocating it to
policy, users can now choose whether or not this is necessary
functionality without modifying core Bro scripts.
* origin/topic/seth/dhcp-update:
Rework to the DHCP analyzer.
First step of DHCP analyzer rearchitecture.
Add .btest scripts for dhck_ack and dhcp_discover messages verifying that new options are correctly reported in dhcp.log records.
Extend DHCP protocol analyzer with new options.
BIT-1924 #merged
Additional changes:
* Removed known-hosts.bro as the only thing populating its table was
the already-removed known-hosts-and-devices.bro. So a
known_devices.log will no longer be generated.
* In dhcp-options.pac, the process_relay_agent_inf_option had a memleak
and also process_auto_proxy_config_option looked like it accessed one
byte past the end of the available bytestring, so fixed those.
Removed duplicated entries (`000001a0-0000-0000-c000-000000000046`, with `i=3, i=4`) and related comments line
This change should make this file more readable and it will be easier to convert it to other formats (personally I found it out while I was trying to convert this to a JavaScript structure).
- This separates NTLM handling away from SMB.
- It logs more accurately when logins are succeed or fail
or even if the resulting status of an authentication is
unknown.
- Adds some new fields where the server is indicating information
about itself (server_nb_computer_name, server_dns_computer_name,
and server_tree_name)
The way in which TLS 1.3 is negotiated was changed slightly in later
revisions of the standard. The final version is only sent in an
extension - while the version field in the server hello still shows TLS
1.2.
This patch makes ssl.log show the correct version again.
Highlights:
- Reduced all DHCP events into a single dhcp_message event. (removed legacy events since they weren't widely used anyway)
- Support many more DHCP options.
- DHCP log is completely reworked and now represents DHCP sessions
based on the transaction ID (and works on clusters).
- Removed the known-devices-and-hostnames script since it's generally
less relevant now with the updated log.
Closes BIT-1900.

* 'nfs-updates' of https://github.com/dtrejod/bro:
Format print nfs units tests to improve output readability. Add unit tests for new NFS events -- nfs_proc_symlink, nfs_proc_link, nfs_proc_sattr.
Bug fix: nfs3_writeargs didn't properly return filehandle.
Add nfs_proc_symlink, nfs_proc_link, nfs_proc_sattr.
* 'mount-protocol' of https://github.com/dtrejod/bro:
Add unit tests for new MOUNT events -- mount_proc_mnt, mount_proc_umnt, mount_proc_umnt_all, mount_proc_not_implemented.
Add mount_proc_null, mount_proc_mnt, mount_proc_umnt, mount_proc_umnt_all, mount_proc_not_implemented, mount_reply_status.
Old event prototypes have changed and the events are broken right
now and may be removed in favor of the new generic "dhcp_message"
event.
DHCP option parsing is abstracted from the main code base of the
protocol parser and are all now located in their own file.
Documentation, tests, and final code cleanup are still pending.
This small change allows the empty field separator to be empty. This
means that we can represent an empty list by a empty input string, which
was not possible before.
Before, an empty empty field separator meant that there is no empty
field - to get back to this behavior one now has to set the empty field
separator to a string that is guaranteed to not be part of the input
data. Note that we did not use "empty" empty field separators anywhere
and I am not aware of this being used by anyone - the new behavior seems
like it is much more useful in practice.
This also changes the config framework to interpret empty lists as...
empty, instead of interpreting them as lists that have one zero-length
element; this seems like the saner default.
* Add proper namespace scoping to a 'SumStats::process_epoch_result'
scheduled event.
* Fix iterator invalidation within 'SumStats::process_epoch_result'
* Give 'SumStats::process_epoch_result' a copy of the result table so
that the SumStats framework can clear the original and move on to the
next epoch immediately.
* The previous baseline of the basic sumstats unit test did look wrong
to me and probably was actually indicative of the iterator invalidation
problem.
Thanks to Jim Mellander for reporting the issues.
