* origin/topic/bernhard/base64:
and re-enable caching of extracted certs
and add bae64 bif tests.
re-unify classes
and modernize script.
add base64-encode functionality and bif.
Closes#965.
This allows replacing an ugly openssl-call from one of
the policy scripts. The openssl call is now replaced with
a still-but-less-ugly call to base64_encode.
I do not know if I split the Base64 classes in a "smart" way... :)
- Certificate validation volume has been greatly cut down by
caching results.
- Cert hashing is now done in one place instead of being repeated
everywhere a cert hash was needed.
- Some small cleanups for notice suppression that should greatly reduce
duplicate notice volume about invalid certificates.
Updated README and collected coverage-related tests in a common dir.
There are still coverage failures resulting from either the following
scripts not being @load'd in the default bro mode:
base/frameworks/time-machine/notice.bro
base/protocols/http/partial-content.bro
base/protocols/rpc/main.bro
Or the following result in errors when @load'd:
policy/protocols/conn/scan.bro
policy/hot.conn.bro
If these are all scripts-in-progress, can we move them all to live
outside the main scripts/ directory until they're ready?
- protocols/ssl/expiring-certs uses time based information from
certificates to determine if they will expire soon, have already
expired, or haven't yet become valid.
- protocols/ssl/extract-certs-pem is a script for taking certs off
the line and converting them to PEM certificates with the openssl
command line tool then dumping them to a file.
