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.
- policy/ renamed to scripts/
- By default BROPATH now contains:
- scripts/
- scripts/policy
- scripts/site
- *Nearly* all tests pass.
- All of scripts/base/ is loaded by main.cc
- Can be disabled by setting $BRO_NO_BASE_SCRIPTS
- Scripts in scripts/base/ don't use relative path loading to ease use of BRO_NO_BASE_SCRIPTS (to copy and paste that script).
- The scripts in scripts/base/protocols/ only (or soon will only) do logging and state building.
- The scripts in scripts/base/frameworks/ add functionality without causing any additional overhead.
- All "detection" activity happens through scripts in scripts/policy/.
- Communications framework modified temporarily to need an environment variable to actually enable (ENABLE_COMMUNICATION=1)
- This is so the communications framework can be loaded as part
of the base without causing trouble when it's not needed.
- This will be removed once a resolution to ticket #540 is reached.
