Started by factoring some details into a new DataBlockList class to at
least make it more clear where modifications occur. More abstractions
likely to happen later as I experiment with alternate data structures
aimed at improving worse-case scenarios.
Note - this compiles, but you cannot run Bro anymore - it crashes
immediately with a 0-pointer access. The reason behind it is that the
required clone functionality does not work anymore.
- Removed the gap_report event. It wasn't used anymore
and functionally no more capable that scheduling events
and using the get_gap_summary bif.
- Added functionality to Dictionaries to count cumulative
numbers of inserts performed. This is further used to
measure the total number of connections of various types.
Previously only the number of active connections was
available.
- The Reassembler base class now tracks active reassembly
size for all subclasses (File/TCP/Frag & unknown).
- Improvements to the stats.log. Mostly, more information.
- 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.
- The reassembly behavior can be modified per-file by enabling or
disabling the reassembler and/or modifying the size of the reassembly
buffer.
- Changed the file extraction analyzer to use the stream to avoid
issues with the chunk based approach not immediately triggering
the file_new event due to mime-type detection delay. Early chunks
frequently ended up lost before.
- Generally things are working now and I'd consider this in testing.
