- Large rework on packet filter framework to make many things easier.
- Removed the PacketFilter::all_packets variable because it was confusing.
- New variable (PacketFilter::enable_auto_protocol_capture_filters) to re-enable the old filtering model of only sniffing ports for analyzed protocols.
- In progress plugin model for adding filtering mechanisms.
- New default single item for capture_filters = { ["default"] = PacketFilter::default_capture_filter };
- Mechanism and helper functions to "shunt" traffic with filters.
- Created the Protocols framework to assist with reworking how base protocol scripts are registered with DPD and other things.
- Protocols framework creates BPF filters for registered analyzers. (if using PacketFilter framework in that mode).
- 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.
