(Jon Siwek, Corelight) * Update broker docs to reflect best-practice/convention for declaring new topics. * Remove "relay" family of Broker functions. (Jon Siwek, Corelight) Namely these are now removed: - Broker::relay - Broker::publish_and_relay - Cluster::relay_rr - Cluster::relay_hrw The idea being that Broker may eventually implement the necessary routing (plus load balancing) functionality. For now, code that used these should "manually" handle and re-publish events as needed. 2.5-924 | 2018-08-29 18:21:37 -0500 * Allow event/function headers to be wrapped in directives.

Also, context ID arguments were added to dce_rpc_bind, dce_rpc_request, and dce_rpc_response in order to properly track what endpoint/operation a given opnum maps to. (Jon Siwek, Corelight) 2.5-897 | 2018-08-23 15:53:16 +0000 * BIT-1885: Fix input framework memory leak. For input threads that get joined during run-time, messages could remain in the thread's queue and leak. (Jon Siwek, Corelight) * Increase timeout for a memleak test.

One addition is a new "mysql_result_row" event that provides access to the results of queries. * SMB: the spec seems to explitly call out the omission of the PrimaryDomain field on SMB_COM_SESSION_SETUP_ANDX responses (and I don't see that field in pcaps either), so this may have just been a typo that used to work fine in the past only due to faulty array parsing behavior in binpac. * BIT-1829: add unit test for modbus parser issue (Corelight) 2.5-591 | 2018-05-22 09:19:59 -0500 * Make Reassembler::TotalSize a constant time operation (Corelight) 2.5-589 | 2018-05-21 21:37:54 +0000 * Switch Bro's communication over to Broker; deprecate the old communication system, including Broccoli.

(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.bro and known-devices.bro scripts since it's generally less relevant now with the updated log. * Change include directory search order to better support --with-openssl.

(Corelight) 2.5-424 | 2018-02-05 15:07:20 -0800 * Add a .travis.yml. file (Daniel Thayer) 2.5-422 | 2018-02-05 16:28:25 -0600 * fix setup field handling in smb1_com_transaction_request messages This field is an array of 16 bit words and was parsed as an array of 32 bit words. Moreover, one can not assume the format is going to be a 16 bits opcode followed by a 16 bit file ID, the content of the setup field is different according to its first 16 bits word that defines the subcommand code. See MS-CIFS section 2.2.4.33.1 : Setup (variable): An array of two-byte words that provides transaction context to the server. The size and content of the array are specific to individual subcommands. (Jeffrey Bencteux) * add smb1_transaction2_secondary_request event parse and expose SMB_COM_TRANSACTION2_SECONDARY (0x33) message to script level. See MS-CIFS section 2.2.4.47.1. (Jeffrey Bencteux) * add smb1_transaction_secondary_request event expose SMB_COM_TRANSACTION_SECONDARY (0x26) message to script language. See MS-CIFS section 2.2.4.34.1. (Jeffrey Bencteux) * add parameters and data to smb1_transaction_request/response messages expose SMB_Data.Trans_Parameters and SMB_Data.Trans_Data fields of SMB_COM_TRANSACTION (0x25) message type. See MS-CIFS section 2.2.4.33.1. These fields are exposed to the script level as Bro strings. Note that this commit also expose a new event smb1_transaction_response. (Jeffrey Bencteux) * add SMB_Parameters.Words to smb1_transaction2_request event expose the fields contained in SMB_Parameters.Words of the SMB_COM_TRANSACTION2 (0x32) message to the script language. See MS-CIFS section 2.2.46.1. (Jeffrey Bencteux) 2.5-410 | 2018-02-05 15:18:41 -0600 * Fix warnings when building sphinx docs (Corelight) 2.5-409 | 2018-02-05 14:12:21 -0600 * Bug fix: nfs3_writeargs didn't properly return filehandle. (Devin Trejo) * Add NFS events and unit tests: nfs_proc_symlink, nfs_proc_link, nfs_proc_sattr. (Devin Trejo) 2.5-405 | 2018-02-05 13:29:39 -0600 * Add MOUNT3 protocol parser. It's not activated by default. New events available: mount_proc_null, mount_proc_mnt, mount_proc_umnt, mount_proc_umnt_all, mount_proc_not_implemented, mount_reply_status. (Devin Trejo) 2.5-402 | 2018-02-05 10:43:59 -0600 * Fix (unlikely) memory leak in nb_dns.c (Corelight) * Remove bro-plugins submodule from .gitmodules file (Daniel Thayer) 2.5-399 | 2018-01-30 14:31:45 -0800 * Adapt the X509 analyzer to partially support OpenSSL 1.1. (Hilgo Bengen, Johanna Amann) 2.5-395 | 2018-01-26 15:46:05 -0600 * BIT-1894: fix bad integer casts in BIFs: sort, rand, order, to_int (Corelight) 2.5-392 | 2018-01-19 11:39:34 -0600 * Make nearly all bool conversion operators explicit. (Corelight) 2.5-390 | 2018-01-17 16:09:55 -0600 * Logging: implement get_filter_names and small fixes. get_filter_names(id: ID) : set[string] returns the names of the current list of filters for a specified log stream. Furthermore this commit makes a number of logging functions more robust by checking existence of values before trying to modify them. This commit also really implements (and tests) the enable_stream function. (Corelight) 2.5-388 | 2018-01-16 15:35:21 -0600 * HTTP: Recognize and skip upgrade/websocket connections. This patches the HTTP analyzerto recognize when a connections is upgraded to a different protocol (e.g. client uses the Upgrade header and gets a 101 reply). In this case, the analyzer stops further processing (which would have resulted in DPD errors) and raises a new event: event http_connection_upgrade(c: connection, protocol: string); The protocol parameter contains the name of the protocol that is being upgraded to, as specified in one of the header values. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-385 | 2018-01-16 14:51:07 -0600 * Make tunnel_parents in conn.log optional. This makes conn.logs a bit prettier (and smaller) because all lines tha do not use a tunnel will now have a "-" instead of the "(empty)" for tunnel_parents. (Johanna Amann) * Correct include-path in x509Common.h (Johanna Amann) 2.5-381 | 2018-01-12 10:03:21 -0800 * Preallocate all possible PortVals, mark PortVal ctors deprecated. The performance benefit is small (maybe ~1% at most), however, it's a trivial change without downsides. (Jon Siwek) * Add BRO_DEPRECATED macro. (Jon Siwek) * Add functions for retrieving files by their id. There are two new script level functions to query and lookup files from the core by their IDs. These are adding feature parity for similarly named functions for files. The function prototypes are as follows: Files::file_exists(fuid: string): bool Files::lookup_File(fuid: string): fa_file (Seth Hall) 2.5-375 | 2018-01-11 11:47:01 -0600 * Fix a test that fails in some environments (Daniel Thayer) * Add CVE ID for BIT-1856. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-372 | 2017-12-15 15:08:51 -0600 * Remove some DNS weirds that caused volume and are generally not useful: dns_unmatched_msg, dns_unmatched_msg_quantity, dns_unmatched_reply. (Corelight) 2.5-369 | 2017-12-13 14:22:47 -0600 * Fix typo in analyzer::Manager API docs (Corelight) 2.5-368 | 2017-12-08 13:09:25 -0600 * Improve for-loop iteration performance over empty tables.

(Corelight) 2.5-362 | 2017-12-02 09:45:04 -0600 * BIT-1791: Do not log SOCKS passwords by default and add SOCKS::default_capture_password option. (Johanna Amann) * Add missing ; in SSL binpac parser, found by Luke Valenta. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-359 | 2017-11-29 14:01:37 -0600 * Add --ccache option to configure script (requires CMake 3.10+). (Corelight) 2.5-358 | 2017-11-28 12:28:14 -0800 * Extend the TLS analyzer with several events containing cryptographic parameters from the client and server key exchanges. The new events are: ssl_ecdh_server_params, ssl_dh_server_params, ssl_server_signature, ssl_ecdh_client_params, ssl_dh_client_params, ssl_rsa_client_pms Since ssl_ecdh_server_params contains more information than the old ssl_server_curve event, ssl_server_curve is now marked as deprecated. (Luke Valenta) 2.5-352 | 2017-11-21 13:21:51 -0600 * Fix assignments to event arguments becoming visible to subsequent handlers. (Robin Sommer) 2.5-350 | 2017-11-21 12:19:28 -0600 * Add HookReporter plugin hook function. This hook gives access to basically all information that is available in the function in Reporter.cc that performs the logging. The hook is called each time when anything passes through the reporter in the cases in which an event usually would be called. This includes weirds. The hook can return false to prevent the normal reporter events from being raised. (Corelight) 2.5-348 | 2017-11-21 11:30:55 -0600 * Fix a nb_dns.c compile error (older OSs) due to C90 vs C99.

(Corelight) 2.5-345 | 2017-11-20 11:28:59 -0600 * BIT-1827: fix error on initializing DNS w/ IPv6 nameserver. (Corelight) * Add --build-type flag to configure wrapper. (Corelight) 2.5-343 | 2017-11-17 15:27:04 -0800 * Fix ASCII logging of very large values of type "double". Previously, the nonsensical "NAN.0" would be written to ASCII logs for any value >= 1e248). (Daniel Thayer) * Add more test cases to ascii-double.bro (Daniel Thayer) * Enforce a maximum line length in ContentLine analyzer. (Justin Azoff) * Fix OOB read with IP packets that have a header length greater than the total length of their packet. (Johanna Amann) * Verify version field of IP packets read from tunnels. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-332 | 2017-10-27 13:27:16 -0700 * Bro docs tweaks for correctness and readability. (Christian Kreibich) * Fix use-after-free in Trigger.cc. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-328 | 2017-10-16 13:13:41 -0700 * Patch OOB write in content-line analyzer. A combination of packets can trigger an out of bound write of '0' byte in the content-line analyzer. Addresses BIT-1856 / CVE-2017-1000458. (Frank Meier/Johanna Amann) 2.5-327 | 2017-10-16 12:21:01 -0700 * Updating submodule(s). 2.5-326 | 2017-10-05 14:34:20 -0700 * Update the SSH analyzer to support the "curve25519-sha256" KEX. (Vlad Grigorescu) 2.5-321 | 2017-10-03 12:00:29 -0500 * Add "-B scripts" flag to allow debug output of script load order. (Corelight) * Fix segmentation fault on eval condition with no return value. (Corelight) 2.5-317 | 2017-09-29 09:54:50 -0400 * BIT-1853 - Fix an issue with broctl triggering reporter error in the intel framework. (Justin Azoff) * BIT-1845 - Make "in" keyword work with binary data. (Johanna Amann) * Add TLS 1.3 fix and testcase due to Google Chrome's use of TLS 1.3. It turns out that Chrome supports an experimental mode to support TLS 1.3, which uses a non-standard way to negotiate TLS 1.3 with a server. This non-standard way to negotiate TLS 1.3 breaks the current draft RFC and re-uses an extension on the server-side with a different binary formatting, causing us to throw a binpac exception. This patch ignores the extension when sent by the server, continuing to correctly parse the server_hello reply (as far as possible). From what I can tell this seems to be google working around the fac that MITM equipment cannot deal with TLS 1.3 server hellos; this change makes the fact that TLS 1.3 is used completely opaque unless one looks into a few extensions. We currently log this as TLS 1.2. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-310 | 2017-09-21 09:10:21 -0700 * fix interaction of gridftp scripts with other thresholds. (Justin Azoff) 2.5-307 | 2017-09-20 10:51:09 -0500 * BIT-1846: Updating broctl submodule to include fix for symlinking issue (Jon Siwek) 2.5-306 | 2017-09-18 14:43:42 -0700 * Make strerror_r portable, supporting XSI/gnu versions. (Thomas Petersen) * Prevent crash when calling bro -U. (Thomas Petersen) * Remove annoying error message from connsize bifs. (Johanna Amann) * Add test to verify that log rotation works with gzipped logs (Daniel Thayer) * Fix ascii writer to not discard a ".gz" file extension. (Daniel Thayer) When Bro writes a compressed log, it uses a file extension of ".gz". However, upon log rotation the ascii writer script function "default_rotation_postprocessor_func" was discarding the ".gz" file extension. Fixed so that the correct file extension is preserved after rotation. (Daniel Thayer) 2.5-297 | 2017-09-11 09:26:33 -0700 * Fix small OCSP parser bug; serial numbers were not passed to events (Johanna Amann) * Fix expire-redef.bro test. (Daniel Thayer) 2.5-294 | 2017-08-11 13:51:49 -0500 * Fix core.truncation unit test on macOS. (Jon Siwek) * Fix a netcontrol test that often fails (Daniel Thayer) * Update install instructions for Fedora 26 (Daniel Thayer) 2.5-288 | 2017-08-04 14:17:10 -0700 * Fix field not being populated, which resulted in a reporter messsage. Addresses BIT-1831. Reported by Chris Herdt. (Seth Hall) * Support for OCSP and Signed Certificate Timestamp. (Liang Zhu/Johanna Amann) - OCSP parsing is added to the X.509 module. - Signed Certificate Timestamp extraction, parsing, & validation is added to the SSL, X.509, and OCSP analyzers. Validation is added to the X.509 BIFs. This adds the following events and BIFs: - event ocsp_request(f: fa_file, version: count, requestorName: string); - event ocsp_request_certificate(f: fa_file, hashAlgorithm: string, issuerNameHash: string, issuerKeyHash: string, serialNumber: string); - event ocsp_response_status(f: fa_file, status: string); - event ocsp_response_bytes(f: fa_file, resp_ref: opaque of ocsp_resp, status: string, version: count, responderId: string, producedAt: time, signatureAlgorithm: string, certs: x509_opaque_vector); - event ocsp_response_certificate(f: fa_file, hashAlgorithm: string, issuerNameHash: string, issuerKeyHash: string, serialNumber: string, certStatus: string, revokeTime: time, revokeReason: string, thisUpdate: time, nextUpdate: time); - event ocsp_extension(f: fa_file, ext: X509::Extension, global_resp: bool); - event x509_ocsp_ext_signed_certificate_timestamp(f: fa_file, version: count, logid: string, timestamp: count, hash_algorithm: count, signature_algorithm: count, signature: string); - event ssl_extension_signed_certificate_timestamp(c: connection, is_orig: bool, version: count, logid: string, timestamp: count, signature_and_hashalgorithm: SSL::SignatureAndHashAlgorithm, signature: string); - function sct_verify(cert: opaque of x509, logid: string, log_key: string, signature: string, timestamp: count, hash_algorithm: count, issuer_key_hash: string &default=""): bool - function x509_subject_name_hash(cert: opaque of x509, hash_alg: count): string - function x509_issuer_name_hash(cert: opaque of x509, hash_alg: count): string - function x509_spki_hash(cert: opaque of x509, hash_alg: count): string This also changes the MIME types that we use to identify X.509 certificates in SSL connections from "application/pkix-cert" to "application/x-x509-user-cert" for host certificates and "application/x-x509-ca-cert" for CA certificates. * The SSL scripts provide a new hook "ssl_finishing(c: connection)" to trigger actions after the handshake has concluded. (Johanna Amann) * Add an internal API for protocol analyzers to provide the MIME type of file data directly, disabling automatic inferrence. (Johanna Amann). 2.5-186 | 2017-07-28 12:22:20 -0700 * Improved handling of '%' at end of line in HTTP analyzer. (Johanna Amann) * Add canonifier to catch and release test that should fix test failures. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-181 | 2017-07-25 16:02:41 -0700 * Extend plugin infrastructure to catch Bro version mismatches at link time. The version number used for the function name is slightly normalized to skip any git revision postfixes (i.e., "2.5-xxx" is always treated as "2.5-git") so that one doesn't need to recompile all plugins after every master commit. That seems good enough, usually people run into this when upgrading to a new release. The Plugin API version is also part of the version number. If one loads an old plugin into a new Bro, the error message looks like this: $ bro -NN Demo::Foo fatal error in /home/robin/bro/master/scripts/base/init-bare.bro, line 1: cannot load plugin library /home/robin/tmp/p/build//lib/Demo-Foo.linux-x86_64.so: /home/robin/tmp/p/build//lib/Demo-Foo.linux-x86_64.so: undefined symbol: bro_version_2_5_git_debug (Robin Sommer) * Several fixes and improvements for software version parsing. - Addresses Philip Romero's question from the Bro mailing list. - Adds Microsoft Edge as a detected browser. - We are now unescaping encoded characters in software names. (Seth Hall) * Remove another reference to now removed bro-plugins. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-175 | 2017-07-07 14:35:11 -0700 * Removing aux/plugins. Most of the plugins are now Bro packages. (Robin Sommer) * Update install instructions for Debian 9. (Daniel Thayer) 2.5-170 | 2017-07-07 12:20:19 -0700 * Update krb-protocol.pac (balintm) This fixes parsing of KRB_AP_Options where the padding and flags were reversed. * Add new cipher suites from draft-ietf-tls-ecdhe-psk-aead-05 (Johanna Amann) * Test changes: remove loading of listen.bro in tests that do not use it, serialize tests that load listen.bro, fix race conditions in some tests. (Daniel Thayer) * The broccoli-v6addrs "-r" option was renamed to "-R" (Daniel Thayer) 2.5-156 | 2017-06-13 11:01:56 -0700 * Add 2.5.1 news file to master. (Johanna Amann) * Remove link to no longer existing myricom plugin. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-152 | 2017-06-05 15:16:49 -0700 * Remove non-existing links; this broke documentation build. (Johanna Amann) * Fix at_least in Version.bro - it did exactly the oposite of the documented behavior. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-147 | 2017-05-22 20:32:32 -0500 * Add nfs unittest. (Julien Wallior) * Added nfs_proc_rename event to rpc/nfs protocol analyzer. (Roberto Del Valle Rodriguez) * Expand parsing of RPC Call packets to add Uid, Gid, Stamp, MachineName and AuxGIDs (Julien Wallior) * Fix NFS protocol parser. (Julien Wallior) 2.5-142 | 2017-05-22 00:08:52 -0500 * Add gzip log writing to the ascii writer. This feature can be enabled globally for all logs by setting LogAscii::gzip_level to a value greater than 0. This feature can be enabled on a per-log basis by setting gzip-level in $config to a value greater than 0. (Corelight) 2.5-140 | 2017-05-12 15:31:32 -0400 * Lessen cluster load due to notice suppression. (Johanna Amann, Justin Azoff) 2.5-137 | 2017-05-04 11:37:48 -0500 * Add plugin hooks for log init and writing: HookLogInit and HookLogWrite. (Corelight) * TLS: Fix compile warning (comparison between signed/unsigned). This was introduced with the addition of new TLS1.3 extensions. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-134 | 2017-05-01 10:34:34 -0500 * Add rename, unlink, and rmdir bifs. (Corelight) 2.5-131 | 2017-04-21 14:27:16 -0700 * Guard more format strings with __attribute__((format)). (Johanna Amann) * Add support for two TLS 1.3 extensions. New events: - event ssl_extension_supported_versions(c: connection, is_orig: bool, versions: index_vec) - event ssl_extension_psk_key_exchange_modes(c: connection, is_orig: bool, modes: index_vec) (Johanna Amann) 2.5-125 | 2017-04-17 22:02:39 +0200 * Documentation updates for loading Bro scripts. (Seth Hall) 2.5-123 | 2017-04-10 13:30:14 -0700 * Fix some failing tests by increasing delay times. (Daniel Thayer) * Threading Types: add a bit of documentation to subnet type. (Johanna Amann) * Fixing couple issues reported by Coverity. (Robin Sommer) 2.5-119 | 2017-04-07 10:30:09 -0700 * Fix the test group name in some broker test files. (Daniel Thayer) * NetControl: small rule_error changes (test, call fix). (Johanna Amann) * SSL: update dpd signature for TLS1.3. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-115 | 2017-03-23 07:25:41 -0700 * Fix a test that was failing on some platforms. (Daniel Thayer) * Remove test for cluster catch and release. This test keeps failing intermittently because of timing issues that are surprisingly hard to fix. (Johanna Amann) * Fix some Coverity warnings. (Daniel Thayer) 2.5-106 | 2017-03-13 11:19:03 -0700 * print version string to stdout on --version, instead of printing it to stderr. Output is not an error output. (Pete) * Fix compiler warning raised by llvm8. (Johanna Amann) * Fix coverity warning in Ascii reader. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-101 | 2017-03-09 12:20:11 -0500 * Input's framework's ascii reader is now more resilient. By default, the ASCII reader does not fail on errors anymore. If there is a problem parsing a line, a reporter warning is written and parsing continues. If the file is missing or can't be read, the input thread just tries again on the next heartbeat. (Seth Hall, Johanna Amann) 2.5-92 | 2017-03-03 10:44:14 -0800 * Move most threading to C++11 primitives (mostly). (Johanna Amann) * Fix a test that sometimes fails on FreeBSD. (Daniel Thayer) * Remove build time warnings. (Seth Hall) 2.5-84 | 2017-02-27 15:08:55 -0500 * Change semantics of Broker's remote logging to match old communication framework. (Robin Sommer) * Add and fix documentation for HookSetupAnalyzerTree (Johanna Amann) 2.5-76 | 2017-02-23 10:19:57 -0800 * Kerberos ciphertext had some additional ASN.1 content being lumped in. (Vlad Grigorescu) * Updated Windows version detection to include Windows 10. (Fatema Bannatwala, Keith Lehigh, Mike, Seth Hall). 2.5-70 | 2017-02-20 00:20:02 -0500 * Rework the RADIUS base script. Fixes BIT-1769 which improves logging behavior when replies aren't seen. Also added a `framed_addr` field to indicate if the radius server is hinting at an address for the client and a `ttl` field to show how quickly the server is responding. (Seth Hall) 2.5-68 | 2017-02-18 13:59:05 -0500 * Refactored base krb scripts. (Seth Hall) * New script to log ticket hashes in krb log (policy/protocols/krb/ticket-logging.bro). Also, add ciphertext to ticket data structure. (John E. Rollinson) 2.5-62 | 2017-02-15 15:56:38 -0800 * Fix case in which scripts were able to access unitialized variables in certain cases. Addresses BIT-1785. (Jon Siwek) 2.5-60 | 2017-02-15 15:19:20 -0800 * Implement ERSPAN support. There is a small caveat to this implementation. The ethernet header that is carried over the tunnel is ignored. If a user tries to do MAC address logging, it will only show the MAC addresses for the outer tunnel and the inner MAC addresses will be stripped and not available anywhere. (Seth Hall) * Tiny mime-type fix from Dan Caselden. (Seth Hall) * Update failing intel framework test. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-55 | 2017-02-10 09:50:43 -0500 * Fixed intel expiration reset. Reinserting the same indicator did not reset the expiration timer for the indicator in the underlying data store. Addresses BIT-1790. (Jan Grashoefer) 2.5-51 | 2017-02-06 10:15:56 -0500 * Fix memory leak in file analyzer. (Johanna Amann) * Fix a series of problems with the to_json function. Addresses BIT-1788. (Daniel Thayer) 2.5-44 | 2017-02-03 16:38:10 -0800 * Change snap lengths of some tests. (Johanna Amann) * Fix layer 2 connection flipping. If connection flipping occured in Sessions.cc code (invoked e.g. when the original SYN is missing), layer 2 flipping was not performed. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-39 | 2017-02-01 14:03:08 -0800 * Fix file analyzer memory management, and a delay in disabling file analyzers. File analyzers are no longer deleted immediately; this is delayed until a file opject is destroyed. Furthermore, no data is sent to file analyzers anymore after they have been disabled. 2.5-33 | 2017-02-01 10:07:47 -0500 * New file types sigs. (Keith Lehigh) * Change snaplen of test trace from 1,000,000 to 10,000 Recent versions of libpcap are unhappy with values bigger than 262,144 and will refuse reading the file. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-30 | 2017-01-26 13:24:36 -0800 * Extend file extraction log, adding extracted_cutoff and extracted_size fields. (Seth Hall) * Add new TLS extension type (cached_info) (Johanna Amann) * Remove brocon event; it caused test failures. (Johanna Amann) * Add missing paths to SMB Log::create_streams calls. (Johanna Amann) * Tiny xlsx file signature fix. (Dan Caselden) * Allow access to global variables using GLOBAL:: namespace. Addresses BIT-1758. (Francois Pennaneac) 2.5-17 | 2016-12-07 14:51:37 -0800 * Broxygen no longer attempts to do tilde expansion of PATH, giving an error message instead if bro is located in a PATH component that starts with a tilde. Broxygen also no longer attempts to get the mtime of the bro executable when bro is not invoced with the "-X" option. (Daniel Thayer) * Fix failing tests, compiler warnings and build issues on OpenBSD. (Daniel Thayer) 2.5-9 | 2016-12-05 11:39:54 -0800 * Fix validation of OCSP replies inside of Bro. (Johanna Amann) At one place in the code, we did not check the correct return code. This makes it possible for a reply to get a response of "good", when the OCSP reply is not actually signed by the responder in question. This also instructs OCSP verication to skip certificate chain validation, which we do ourselves earlier because the OCSP verify function cannot do it correctly (no way to pass timestamp). 2.5-6 | 2016-11-29 12:51:04 -0800 * Fix a build failure on OpenBSD relating to pcap_pkthdr.

(Vlad Grigorescu) 2.5-beta-46 | 2016-10-06 14:11:03 -0700 * Fixing Broxygen indexing confusion for plugins. Scripts in plugins now get an artificial index prefix: "plugin_name/", followed by the script's relative path inside the plugin's top-level directory. For example, "/opt/bro/lib/bro/plugins/Bro_Netmap/scripts/init.bro" now turns into "Bro_Netmap/scripts/init.bro" for Broxygen purposes (whereas it used to be just "init.bro"). (Robin Sommer) * Fix a couple of tests, addressing issues of the newly introduced version.bro as well as small FreeBSD 11.0 issues. (Johanna Amann) * Update documentation license. (Johanna Amann) * Add a convenient way to access version information to Bro. @if ( Version::number >= 20500 ) or @if ( Version::at_least("2.5") ) Version::info contains detailed information about the running version of Bro, including beta flags, etc. (Johanna Amann) 2.5-beta-35 | 2016-10-02 17:38:31 -0400 * Normalize http host in seen script.

(Johanna Amann) * Add NetControl framework documentation to the Bro manual. * Use NetControl for ACTION_DROP of notice framework. So far, this action did nothing by default. * Rewrite of catch-and-release. * Fix several small logging issues. * find_rules_subnet() now works in cluster mode. This introduces two new events, NetControl::rule_new and NetControl::rule_destroyed, which are raised when rules are first added and then deleted from the internal state tracking. * Fix acld whitelist command. * Add rule existance as a state besides added and failure. * Suppress duplicate "plugin activated" messages. * Make new Broker plugin options accessible. * Add predicates to Broker plugin. * Tweak SMTP scripts to not to pull in the notice framework. 2.4-658 | 2016-06-30 16:55:32 -0700 * Fix a number of documentation building errors.

It generates the following events: event krb_as_request(c: connection, msg: KRB::KDC_Request); event krb_as_response(c: connection, msg: KRB::KDC_Response); event krb_tgs_request(c: connection, msg: KRB::KDC_Request); event krb_tgs_response(c: connection, msg: KRB::KDC_Response); event krb_ap_request(c: connection, ticket: KRB::Ticket, opts: KRB::AP_Options); event krb_priv(c: connection, is_orig: bool); event krb_safe(c: connection, is_orig: bool, msg: KRB::SAFE_Msg); event krb_cred(c: connection, is_orig: bool, tickets: KRB::Ticket_Vector); event krb_error(c: connection, msg: KRB::Error_Msg); 2.3-793 | 2015-04-20 20:51:00 -0700 * Add decoding of PROXY-AUTHORIZATION header to HTTP analyze, treating it the same as AUTHORIZATION. (Josh Liburdi) * Remove deprecated fields "hot" and "addl" from the connection record. Remove the functions append_addl() and append_addl_marker(). (Robin Sommer) * Removing the NetFlow analyzer, which hasn't been used anymore since then corresponding command-line option went away. (Robin Sommer) 2.3-787 | 2015-04-20 19:15:23 -0700 * A file analyzer for Portable Executables. (Vlad Grigorescu/Seth Hall). Activity gets logged into pe.log. It generates the following events: event pe_dos_header(f: fa_file, h: PE::DOSHeader); event pe_dos_code(f: fa_file, code: string); event pe_file_header(f: fa_file, h: PE::FileHeader); event pe_optional_header(f: fa_file, h: PE::OptionalHeader); event pe_section_header(f: fa_file, h: PE::SectionHeader); 2.3-741 | 2015-04-20 13:12:39 -0700 * API changes to file analysis mime type detection. Removed "file_mime_type" and "file_mime_types" event, replacing them with a new event called "file_metadata_inferred". Addresses BIT-1368. (Jon Siwek) * A large series of improvements for file type identification. This inludes a many signature updates (new types, cleanup, performance improvments) and splitting out signatures into subfiles. (Seth Hall) * Fix an issue with files having gaps before the bof_buffer is filled, which could lead to file type identification not working correctly. (Seth Hall) * Fix an issue with packet loss in HTTP file reporting for file type identification wasn't working correctly zero-length bodies. (Seth Hall) * X.509 certificates are now populating files.log with the mime type application/pkix-cert. (Seth Hall) * Normalized some FILE_ANALYSIS debug messages. (Seth Hall) 2.3-725 | 2015-04-20 12:54:54 -0700 * Updating submodule(s). 2.3-724 | 2015-04-20 14:11:02 -0500 * Fix uninitialized field in raw input reader.

(Jon Siwek) 2.3-720 | 2015-04-17 14:18:26 -0700 * Updating NEWS. 2.3-716 | 2015-04-17 13:06:37 -0700 * Add seeking functionality to raw reader. One can now add an option "offset" to the config map. Positive offsets are interpreted to be from the beginning of the file, negative from the end of the file (-1 is end of file). Only works for raw reader in streaming or manual mode. Does not work with executables. Addresses BIT-985. (Johanna Amann) * Allow setting packet and byte thresholds for connections. (Johanna Amann) This extends the ConnSize analyzer to be able to raise events when each direction of a connection crosses a certain amount of bytes or packets. Thresholds are set using: - set_conn_bytes_threshold(c$id, [num-bytes], [direction]); - set_conn_packets_threshold(c$id, [num-packets], [direction]); They raise the events, respectively: - event conn_bytes_threshold_crossed(c: connection, threshold: count, is_orig: bool) - event conn_packets_threshold_crossed(c: connection, threshold: count, is_orig: bool) Current thresholds can be examined using get_conn_bytes_threshold() and get_conn_packets_threshold(). Only one threshold can be set per connection. * Add high-level API for packet/bytes thresholding in base/protocols/conn/thresholds.bro that holds lists of thresholds and raises an event for each threshold exactly once. (Johanna Amann) * Fix a bug where child packet analyzers of the TCP analyzer where not found using FindChild. * Update GridFTP analyzer to use connection thresholding instead of polling. (Johanna Amann) 2.3-709 | 2015-04-17 12:37:32 -0700 * Fix addressing the dreaded "internal error: unknown msg type 115 in Poll()". (Jon Siwek) This patch removes the error handling code for overload conditions in the main process that could cause trouble down the road. The "chunked_io_buffer_soft_cap" script variable can now tune when the client process begins shutting down peer connections, and the default setting is now double what it used to be. Addresses BIT-1376. 2.3-707 | 2015-04-17 10:57:59 -0500 * Add more info about Broker to NEWS. (Jon Siwek) 2.3-705 | 2015-04-16 08:16:45 -0700 * Update Mozilla CA list.

Addresses BIT-1306 and probably also BIT-1356. (Robin Sommer) * Cleaning up --help. -D and -Y/y were still listed, even though they had no effect anymore. Removing some dead code along with -D. Addresses BIT-1372. (Robin Sommer) 2.3-688 | 2015-04-10 08:10:44 -0700 * Update SQLite to 3.8.8.3. 2.3-687 | 2015-04-10 07:32:52 -0700 * Remove stale signature benchmarking code (-L command-line option).

"help" prints a list of available debug streams. (John Donnelly/Robin Sommer). * BIT-1324: Allow logging filters to inherit default path from stream. This allows the path for the default filter to be specified explicitly through $path="..." when creating a stream. Adapted the existing Log::create_stream calls to explicitly specify a path value.

Changed functions: - has_valid_octets: uses a string_vec parameter instead of string_array. Addresses BIT-924. * Add a new attribute: &deprecated. While scripts are parsed, a warning is raised for each usage of an identifier marked as &deprecated. This also works for BIFs. Addresses BIT-924, BIT-757. (Jon Siwek) 2.3-397 | 2015-01-27 10:13:10 -0600 * Handle guess_lexer exceptions in pygments reST directive (Jon Siwek) 2.3-396 | 2015-01-23 10:49:15 -0600 * DNP3: fix reachable assertion and buffer over-read/overflow.

(Daniel Thayer) 2.3-371 | 2015-01-06 09:58:09 -0600 * Update/improve file mime type identification. (Seth Hall) - Change to the default BOF buffer size to 3000 (was 1024). - Reorganized MS signatures into a separate file. - Remove all of the x-c detections. Nearly all false positives. - Improve TAR detections, removing old, back up TAR detections. - Remove one of the x-elc detections that was too loose and caused many false positives. - Improved lots of the signatures and added new ones. (Seth Hall) * Add support for file reassembly in the file analysis framework (Seth Hall, Jon Siwek). - 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 stream-wise input to avoid issues with the chunk-wise approach not immediately triggering the file_new event due to mime-type detection delay. Before, early chunks frequently ended up lost. Extraction also will now explicitly NUL-fill gaps in the file instead of implicitly relying on pwrite to do it. 2.3-349 | 2015-01-05 15:21:13 -0600 * Fix race condition in unified2 file analyzer startup.

(Robin Sommer) 2.3-83 | 2014-07-30 16:26:11 -0500 * Minor adjustments to plugin code/docs. (Jon Siwek) * Dynamic plugin support. (Rpbin Sommer) Bro now supports extending core functionality, like protocol and file analysis, dynamically with external plugins in the form of shared libraries. See doc/devel/plugins.rst for an overview of the main functionality. Changes coming with this: - Replacing the old Plugin macro magic with a new API. - The plugin API changed to generally use std::strings instead of const char*. - There are a number of invocations of PLUGIN_HOOK_ {VOID,WITH_RESULT} across the code base, which allow plugins to hook into the processing at those locations. - A few new accessor methods to various classes to allow plugins to get to that information. - network_time cannot be just assigned to anymore, there's now function net_update_time() for that. - Redoing how builtin variables are initialized, so that it works for plugins as well. No more init_net_var(), but instead bifcl-generated code that registers them. - Various changes for adjusting to the now dynamic generation of analyzer instances. - same_type() gets an optional extra argument allowing record type comparision to ignore if field names don't match. (Robin Sommer) - Further unify file analysis API with the protocol analyzer API (assigning IDs to analyzers; adding Init()/Done() methods; adding subtypes). (Robin Sommer) - A new command line option -Q that prints some basic execution time stats. (Robin Sommer) - Add support to the file analysis for activating analyzers by MIME type. (Robin Sommer) - File::register_for_mime_type(tag: Analyzer::Tag, mt: string): Associates a file analyzer with a MIME type. - File::add_analyzers_for_mime_type(f: fa_file, mtype: string): Activates all analyzers registered for a MIME type for the file. - The default file_new() handler calls File::add_analyzers_for_mime_type() with the file's MIME type. 2.3-20 | 2014-07-22 17:41:02 -0700 * Updating submodule(s). 2.3-19 | 2014-07-22 17:29:19 -0700 * Implement bytestring_to_coils() in Modbus analyzer so that coils gets passed to the corresponding events.

(Johanna Amann) * Let TLS analyzer fail better when no longer in sync with the data stream. (Johanna Amann) 2.2-444 | 2014-05-16 14:10:32 -0500 * Disable all default AppStat plugins except facebook. (Jon Siwek) * Update for the active http test to force it to use ipv4. (Seth Hall) 2.2-441 | 2014-05-15 11:29:56 -0700 * A new RADIUS analyzer. (Vlad Grigorescu) It produces a radius.log and generates two events: event radius_message(c: connection, result: RADIUS::Message); event radius_attribute(c: connection, attr_type: count, value: string); 2.2-427 | 2014-05-15 13:37:23 -0400 * Fix dynamic SumStats update on clusters (Johanna Amann) 2.2-425 | 2014-05-08 16:34:44 -0700 * Fix reassembly of data w/ sizes beyond 32-bit capacities. (Jon Siwek) Reassembly code (e.g. for TCP) now uses int64/uint64 (signedness is situational) data types in place of int types in order to support delivering data to analyzers that pass 2GB thresholds. There's also changes in logic that accompany the change in data types, e.g. to fix TCP sequence space arithmetic inconsistencies. Another significant change is in the Analyzer API: the *Packet and *Undelivered methods now use a uint64 in place of an int for the relative sequence space offset parameter. Addresses BIT-348. * Fixing compiler warnings. (Robin Sommer) * Update SNMP analyzer's DeliverPacket method signature. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-417 | 2014-05-07 10:59:22 -0500 * Change handling of atypical OpenSSL error case in x509 verification. (Jon Siwek) * Fix memory leaks in X509 certificate parsing/verification. (Jon Siwek) * Fix new []/delete mismatch in input::reader::Raw::DoClose(). (Jon Siwek) * Fix buffer over-reads in file_analysis::Manager::Terminate() (Jon Siwek) * Fix buffer overlows in IP address masking logic. (Jon Siwek) That could occur either in taking a zero-length mask on an IPv6 address (e.g. [fe80::]/0) or a reverse mask of length 128 on any address (e.g. via the remask_addr BuiltIn Function). * Fix new []/delete mismatch in ~Base64Converter. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-410 | 2014-05-02 12:49:53 -0500 * Replace an unneeded OPENSSL_malloc call. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-409 | 2014-05-02 12:09:06 -0500 * Clean up and documentation for base SNMP script. (Jon Siwek) * Update base SNMP script to now produce a snmp.log. (Seth Hall) * Add DH support to SSL analyzer. When using DHE or DH-Anon, sever key parameters are now available in scriptland. Also add script to alert on weak certificate keys or weak dh-params. (Johanna Amann) * Add a few more ciphers Bro did not know at all so far. (Johanna Amann) * Log chosen curve when using ec cipher suite in TLS. (Johanna Amann) 2.2-397 | 2014-05-01 20:29:20 -0700 * Fix reference counting for lookup_ID() usages. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-395 | 2014-05-01 20:25:48 -0700 * Fix missing "irc-dcc-data" service field from IRC DCC connections. (Jon Siwek) * Correct a notice for heartbleed. The notice is thrown correctly, just the message conteined wrong values. (Johanna Amann) * Improve/standardize some malloc/realloc return value checks. (Jon Siwek) * Improve file analysis manager shutdown/cleanup. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-388 | 2014-04-24 18:38:07 -0700 * Fix decoding of MIME quoted-printable. (Mareq) 2.2-386 | 2014-04-24 18:22:29 -0700 * Do a Intel::ADDR lookup for host field if we find an IP address there. (jshlbrd) 2.2-381 | 2014-04-24 17:08:45 -0700 * Add Java version to software framework. (Brian Little) 2.2-379 | 2014-04-24 17:06:21 -0700 * Remove unused Val::attribs member. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-377 | 2014-04-24 16:57:54 -0700 * A larger set of SSL improvements and extensions. Addresses BIT-1178. (Johanna Amann) - Fixes TLS protocol version detection. It also should bail-out correctly on non-tls-connections now - Adds support for a few TLS extensions, including server_name, alpn, and ec-curves. - Adds support for the heartbeat events. - Add Heartbleed detector script. - Adds basic support for OCSP stapling. * Fix parsing of DNS TXT RRs w/ multiple character-strings. Addresses BIT-1156. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-353 | 2014-04-24 16:12:30 -0700 * Adapt HTTP partial content to cache file analysis IDs. (Jon Siwek) * Adapt SSL analyzer to generate file analysis handles itself. (Jon Siwek) * Adapt more of HTTP analyzer to use cached file analysis IDs. (Jon Siwek) * Adapt IRC/FTP analyzers to cache file analysis IDs. (Jon Siwek) * Refactor regex/signature AcceptingSet data structure and usages. (Jon Siwek) * Enforce data size limit when checking files for MIME matches. (Jon Siwek) * Refactor file analysis file ID lookup. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-344 | 2014-04-22 20:13:30 -0700 * Refactor various hex escaping code. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-341 | 2014-04-17 18:01:41 -0500 * Fix duplicate DNS log entries. (Robin Sommer) 2.2-341 | 2014-04-17 18:01:01 -0500 * Refactor initialization of ASCII log writer options. (Jon Siwek) * Fix a memory leak in ASCII log writer. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-338 | 2014-04-17 17:48:17 -0500 * Disable input/logging threads setting their names on every heartbeat. (Jon Siwek) * Fix bug when clearing Bloom filter contents. Reported by @colonelxc. (Matthias Vallentin) 2.2-335 | 2014-04-10 15:04:57 -0700 * Small logic fix for main SSL script. (Johanna Amann) * Update DPD signatures for detecting TLS 1.2. (Johanna Amann) * Remove unused data member of SMTP_Analyzer to silence a Coverity warning. (Jon Siwek) * Fix missing @load dependencies in some scripts. Also update the unit test which is supposed to catch such errors. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-326 | 2014-04-08 15:21:51 -0700 * Add SNMP datagram parsing support.This supports parsing of SNMPv1 (RFC 1157), SNMPv2 (RFC 1901/3416), and SNMPv2 (RFC 3412). An event is raised for each SNMP PDU type, though there's not currently any event handlers for them and not a default snmp.log either. However, simple presence of SNMP is currently visible now in conn.log service field and known_services.log. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-319 | 2014-04-03 15:53:25 -0700 * Improve __load__.bro creation for .bif.bro stubs. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-317 | 2014-04-03 10:51:31 -0400 * Add a uid field to the signatures.log. Addresses BIT-1171 (Anthony Verez) 2.2-315 | 2014-04-01 16:50:01 -0700 * Change logging's "#types" description of sets to "set". Addresses BIT-1163 (Johanna Amann) 2.2-313 | 2014-04-01 16:40:19 -0700 * Fix a couple nits reported by Coverity.(Jon Siwek) * Fix potential memory leak in IP frag reassembly reported by Coverity. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-310 | 2014-03-31 18:52:22 -0700 * Fix memory leak and unchecked dynamic cast reported by Coverity. (Jon Siwek) * Fix potential memory leak in x509 parser reported by Coverity. (Johanna Amann) 2.2-304 | 2014-03-30 23:05:54 +0200 * Replace libmagic w/ Bro signatures for file MIME type identification. Addresses BIT-1143. (Jon Siwek) Includes: - libmagic is no longer used at all. All MIME type detection is done through new Bro signatures, and there's no longer a means to get verbose file type descriptions. The majority of the default file magic signatures are derived from the default magic database of libmagic ~5.17. - File magic signatures consist of two new constructs in the signature rule parsing grammar: "file-magic" gives a regular expression to match against, and "file-mime" gives the MIME type string of content that matches the magic and an optional strength value for the match. - Modified signature/rule syntax for identifiers: they can no longer start with a '-', which made for ambiguous syntax when doing negative strength values in "file-mime". Also brought syntax for Bro script identifiers in line with reality (they can't start with numbers or include '-' at all). - A new built-in function, "file_magic", can be used to get all file magic matches and their corresponding strength against a given chunk of data. - The second parameter of the "identify_data" built-in function can no longer be used to get verbose file type descriptions, though it can still be used to get the strongest matching file magic signature. - The "file_transferred" event's "descr" parameter no longer contains verbose file type descriptions. - The BROMAGIC environment variable no longer changes any behavior in Bro as magic databases are no longer used/installed. - Removed "binary" and "octet-stream" mime type detections. They don' provide any more information than an uninitialized mime_type field which implicitly means no magic signature matches and so the media type is unknown to Bro. - The "fa_file" record now contains a "mime_types" field that contains all magic signatures that matched the file content (where the "mime_type" field is just a shortcut for the strongest match). - Reverted back to minimum requirement of CMake 2.6.3 from 2.8.0. * The logic for adding file ids to {orig,resp}_fuids fields of the http.log incorrectly depended on the state of {orig,resp}_mime_types fields, so sometimes not all file ids associated w/ the session were logged. (Jon Siwek) * Fix MHR script's use of fa_file$mime_type before checking if it's initialized. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-294 | 2014-03-30 22:08:25 +0200 * Rework and move X509 certificate processing from the SSL protocol analyzer to a dedicated file analyzer. This will allow us to examine X509 certificates from sources other than SSL in the future. Furthermore, Bro now parses more fields and extensions from the certificates (e.g. elliptic curve information, subject alternative names, basic constraints). Certificate validation also was improved, should be easier to use and exposes information like the full verified certificate chain. (Johanna Amann) This update changes the format of ssl.log and adds a new x509.log with certificate information. Furthermore all x509 events and handling functions have changed. 2.2-271 | 2014-03-30 20:25:17 +0200 * Add unit tests covering vector/set/table ctors/inits. (Jon Siwek) * Fix parsing of "local" named table constructors. (Jon Siwek) * Improve type checking of records. Addresses BIT-1159. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-267 | 2014-03-30 20:21:43 +0200 * Improve documentation of Bro clusters. Addresses BIT-1160. (Daniel Thayer) 2.2-263 | 2014-03-30 20:19:05 +0200 * Don't include locations into serialization when cloning values. (Robin Sommer) 2.2-262 | 2014-03-30 20:12:47 +0200 * Refactor SerializationFormat::EndWrite and ChunkedIO::Chunk memory management. (Jon Siwek) * Improve SerializationFormat's write buffer growth strategy. (Jon Siwek) * Add --parse-only option to exit after parsing scripts. May be useful for syntax-checking tools. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-256 | 2014-03-30 19:57:28 +0200 * For the summary statistics framewirk, change all &create_expire attributes to &read_expire in the cluster part. (Johanna Amann) 2.2-254 | 2014-03-30 19:55:22 +0200 * Update instructions on how to build Bro docs. (Daniel Thayer) 2.2-251 | 2014-03-28 08:37:37 -0400 * Quick fix to the ElasticSearch writer. (Seth Hall) 2.2-250 | 2014-03-19 17:20:55 -0400 * Improve performance of MHR script by reducing cloned Vals in a "when" scope. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-248 | 2014-03-19 14:47:40 -0400 * Make SumStats work incrementally and non-blocking in non-cluster mode, but force it to operate by blocking if Bro is shutting down. (Seth Hall) 2.2-244 | 2014-03-17 08:24:17 -0700 * Fix compile errror on FreeBSD caused by wrong include file order. (Johanna Amann) 2.2-240 | 2014-03-14 10:23:54 -0700 * Derive results of DNS lookups from from input when in BRO_DNS_FAKE mode. Addresses BIT-1134. (Jon Siwek) * Fixing a few cases of undefined behaviour introduced by recent formatter work. * Fixing compiler error. (Robin Sommer) * Fixing (very unlikely) double delete in HTTP analyzer when decapsulating CONNECTs. (Robin Sommer) 2.2-235 | 2014-03-13 16:21:19 -0700 * The Ascii writer has a new option LogAscii::use_json for writing out logs as JSON. (Seth Hall) * Ascii input reader now supports all config options as per-input stream "config" values. (Seth Hall) * Refactored formatters and updated the the writers a bit. (Seth Hall) 2.2-229 | 2014-03-13 14:58:30 -0700 * Refactoring analyzer manager code to reuse ApplyScheduledAnalyzers(). (Robin Sommer) 2.2-228 | 2014-03-13 14:25:53 -0700 * Teach async DNS lookup builtin-functions about BRO_DNS_FAKE. Addresses BIT-1134. (Jon Siwek) * Enable fake DNS mode for test suites. * Improve analysis of TCP SYN/SYN-ACK reversal situations. (Jon Siwek) - Since it's just the handshake packets out of order, they're no longer treated as partial connections, which some protocol analyzers immediately refuse to look at. - The TCP_Reassembler "is_orig" state failed to change, which led to protocol analyzers sometimes using the wrong value for that. - Add a unit test which exercises the Connection::FlipRoles() code path (i.e. the SYN/SYN-ACK reversal situation). Addresses BIT-1148. * Fix bug in Connection::FlipRoles. It didn't swap address values right and also didn't consider that analyzers might be scheduled for the new connection tuple. Reported by Kevin McMahon. Addresses BIT-1148. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-221 | 2014-03-12 17:23:18 -0700 * Teach configure script --enable-jemalloc, --with-jemalloc. Addresses BIT-1128. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-218 | 2014-03-12 17:19:45 -0700 * Improve DBG_LOG macro (perf. improvement for --enable-debug mode). (Jon Siwek) * Silences some documentation warnings from Sphinx. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-215 | 2014-03-10 11:10:15 -0700 * Fix non-deterministic logging of unmatched DNS msgs. Addresses BIT-1153 (Jon Siwek) 2.2-213 | 2014-03-09 08:57:37 -0700 * No longer accidentally attempting to parse NBSTAT RRs as SRV RRs in DNS analyzer. (Seth Hall) * Fix DNS SRV responses and a small issue with NBNS queries and label length. (Seth Hall) - DNS SRV responses never had the code written to actually generate the dns_SRV_reply event. Adding this required extending the event a bit to add extra information. SRV responses now appear in the dns.log file correctly. - Fixed an issue where some Microsoft NetBIOS Name Service lookups would exceed the max label length for DNS and cause an incorrect "DNS_label_too_long" weird. 2.2-210 | 2014-03-06 22:52:36 -0500 * Improve SSL logging so that connections are logged even when the ssl_established event is not generated as well as other small SSL fixes. (Johanna Amann) 2.2-206 | 2014-03-03 16:52:28 -0800 * HTTP CONNECT proxy support. The HTTP analyzer now supports handling HTTP CONNECT proxies. (Seth Hall) * Expanding the HTTP methods used in the DPD signature to detect HTTP traffic. (Seth Hall) * Fixing removal of support analyzers. (Robin Sommer) 2.2-199 | 2014-03-03 16:34:20 -0800 * Allow iterating over bif functions with result type vector of any. This changes the internal type that is used to signal that a vector is unspecified from any to void. Addresses BIT-1144 (Johanna Amann) 2.2-197 | 2014-02-28 15:36:58 -0800 * Remove test code. (Robin Sommer) 2.2-194 | 2014-02-28 14:50:53 -0800 * Remove packet sorter. Addresses BIT-700. (Johanna Amann) 2.2-192 | 2014-02-28 09:46:43 -0800 * Update Mozilla root bundle. (Johanna Amann) 2.2-190 | 2014-02-27 07:34:44 -0800 * Adjust timings of a few leak tests. (Johanna Amann) 2.2-187 | 2014-02-25 07:24:42 -0800 * More Google TLS extensions that are being actively used. Johanna( Amann) * Remove unused, and potentially unsafe, function ListVal::IncludedInString. (Johanna Amann) 2.2-184 | 2014-02-24 07:28:18 -0800 * New TLS constants from https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bmoeller-tls-downgrade-scsv-01. (Johanna Amann) 2.2-180 | 2014-02-20 17:29:14 -0800 * New SSL alert descriptions from https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-applayerprotoneg-04. (Johanna Amann) * Update SQLite. (Johanna Amann) 2.2-177 | 2014-02-20 17:27:46 -0800 * Update to libmagic version 5.17. Addresses BIT-1136. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-174 | 2014-02-14 12:07:04 -0800 * Support for MPLS over VLAN. (Chris Kanich) 2.2-173 | 2014-02-14 10:50:15 -0800 * Fix misidentification of SOCKS traffic that in particiular seemed to happen a lot with DCE/RPC traffic. (Vlad Grigorescu) 2.2-170 | 2014-02-13 16:42:07 -0800 * Refactor DNS script's state management to improve performance. (Jon Siwek) * Revert "Expanding the HTTP methods used in the signature to detect HTTP traffic." (Robin Sommer) 2.2-167 | 2014-02-12 20:17:39 -0800 * Increase timeouts of some unit tests. (Jon Siwek) * Fix memory leak in modbus analyzer. Would happen if there's a 'modbus_read_fifo_queue_response' event handler. (Jon Siwek) * Add channel_id TLS extension number. This number is not IANA defined, but we see it being actively used. (Johanna Amann) * Test baseline updates for DNS change. (Robin Sommer) 2.2-158 | 2014-02-09 23:45:39 -0500 * Change dns.log to include only standard DNS queries. (Jon Siwek) * Improve DNS analysis. (Jon Siwek) - Fix parsing of empty question sections (when QDCOUNT == 0). In this case, the DNS parser would extract two 2-byte fields for use in either "dns_query_reply" or "dns_rejected" events (dependent on value of RCODE) as qclass and qtype parameters. This is not correct, because such fields don't actually exist in the DNS message format when QDCOUNT is 0. As a result, these events are no longer raised when there's an empty question section. Scripts that depends on checking for an empty question section can do that in the "dns_message" event. - Add a new "dns_unknown_reply" event, for when Bro does not know how to fully parse a particular resource record type. This helps fix a problem in the default DNS scripts where the logic to complete request-reply pair matching doesn't work because it's waiting on more RR events to complete the reply. i.e. it expects ANCOUNT number of dns_*_reply events and will wait until it gets that many before completing a request-reply pair and logging it to dns.log. This could cause bogus replies to match a previous request if they happen to share a DNS transaction ID. (Jon Siwek) - The previous method of matching queries with replies was still unreliable in cases where the reply contains no answers. The new code also takes extra measures to avoid pending state growing too large in cases where the condition to match a query with a corresponding reply is never met, but yet DNS messages continue to be exchanged over the same connection 5-tuple (preventing cleanup of the pending state). (Jon Siwek) * Updates to httpmonitor and mimestats documentation. (Jeannette Dopheide) * Updates to Logs and Cluster documentation (Jeannette Dopheide) 2.2-147 | 2014-02-07 08:06:53 -0800 * Fix x509-extension test sometimes failing. (Johanna Amann) 2.2-144 | 2014-02-06 20:31:18 -0800 * Fixing bug in POP3 analyzer. With certain input the analyzer could end up trying to write to non-writable memory. (Robin Sommer) 2.2-140 | 2014-02-06 17:58:04 -0800 * Fixing memory leaks in input framework. (Robin Sommer) * Add script to detect filtered TCP traces. Addresses BIT-1119. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-137 | 2014-02-04 09:09:55 -0800 * Minor unified2 script documentation fix. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-135 | 2014-01-31 11:09:36 -0800 * Added some grammar and spelling corrections to Installation and Quick Start Guide. (Jeannette Dopheide) 2.2-131 | 2014-01-30 16:11:11 -0800 * Extend file analysis API to allow file ID caching. This allows an analyzer to either provide file IDs associated with some file content or to cache a file ID that was already determined by script-layer logic so that subsequent calls to the file analysis interface can bypass costly detours through script-layer. This can yield a decent performance improvement for analyzers that are able to take advantage of it and deal with streaming content (like HTTP, which has been adapted accordingly). (Jon Siwek) 2.2-128 | 2014-01-30 15:58:47 -0800 * Add leak test for Exec module. (Johanna Amann) * Fix file_over_new_connection event to trigger when entire file is missed. (Jon Siwek) * Improve TCP connection size reporting for half-open connections. (Jon Siwek) * Improve gap reporting in TCP connections that never see data. We no longer accomodate SYN/FIN/RST-filtered traces by not reporting missing data. The behavior can be reverted by redef'ing "detect_filtered_trace". (Jon Siwek) * Improve TCP FIN retransmission handling. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-120 | 2014-01-28 10:25:23 -0800 * Fix and extend x509_extension() event, which now actually returns the extension. (Johanna Amann) New event signauture: event x509_extension(c: connection, is_orig: bool, cert:X509, extension: X509_extension_info) 2.2-117 | 2014-01-23 14:18:19 -0800 * Fixing initialization context in anonymous functions. (Robin Sommer) 2.2-115 | 2014-01-22 12:11:18 -0800 * Add unit tests for new Bro Manual docs. (Jon Siwek) * New content for the "Using Bro" section of the manual. (Rafael Bonilla/Jon Siwek) 2.2-105 | 2014-01-20 12:16:48 -0800 * Support GRE tunnel decapsulation, including enhanced GRE headers. GRE tunnels are treated just like IP-in-IP tunnels by parsing past the GRE header in between the delivery and payload IP packets. Addresses BIT-867. (Jon Siwek) * Simplify FragReassembler memory management. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-102 | 2014-01-20 12:00:29 -0800 * Include file information (MIME type and description) into notice emails if available. (Justin Azoff) 2.2-100 | 2014-01-20 11:54:58 -0800 * Fix caching of recently validated SSL certifcates. (Justin Azoff) 2.2-98 | 2014-01-20 11:50:32 -0800 * For notice suppresion, instead of storing the entire notice in Notice::suppressing, just store the time the notice should be suppressed until. This saves significant memory but can no longer raise end_suppression, which has been removed. (Justin Azoff) 2.2-96 | 2014-01-20 11:41:07 -0800 * Integrate libmagic 5.16. Bro now now always relies on builtin/shipped magic library/database. (Jon Siwek) * Bro now requires a CMake 2.8.x, but no longer a pre-installed libmagic. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-93 | 2014-01-13 09:16:51 -0800 * Fixing compile problems with some versions of libc++. Reported by Craig Leres. (Robin Sommer) 2.2-91 | 2014-01-13 01:33:28 -0800 * Improve GeoIP City database support. When trying to open a city database, it now considers both the "REV0" and "REV1" versions of the city database instead of just the former. (Jon Siwek) * Broxygen init fixes. Addresses BIT-1110. (Jon Siwek) - Don't check mtime of bro binary if BRO_DISABLE_BROXYGEN env var set. - Fix failure to locate bro binary if invoking from a relative path and '.' isn't in PATH. * Fix for packet writing to make it use the global snap length. (Seth Hall) * Fix for traffic with TCP segmentation offloading with IP header len field being set to zero. (Seth Hall) * Canonify output of a unit test. (Jon Siwek) * A set of documentation updates. (Daniel Thayer) - Fix typo in Bro 2.2 NEWS on string indexing. - Fix typo in the Quick Start Guide, and clarified the instructions about modifying crontab. - Add/fix documentation for missing/misnamed event parameters. - Fix typos in BIF documentation of hexstr_to_bytestring. - Update the documentation of types and attributes. - Documented the new substring extraction functionality. - Clarified the description of "&priority" and "void". 2.2-75 | 2013-12-18 08:36:50 -0800 * Fixing segfault with mismatching set &default in record fields. (Robin Sommer) 2.2-74 | 2013-12-16 08:49:55 -0800 * Improve warnings emitted from raw/execute input reader. (Jon Siwek) * Further improve core.when-interpreter-exceptions unit test. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-72 | 2013-12-12 07:12:47 -0800 * Improve the core.when-interpreter-exceptions unit test to prevent it from occasionally timing out. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-70 | 2013-12-10 15:02:50 -0800 * Fix (harmless) uninitialized field in basename/dirname util wrapper. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-68 | 2013-12-09 15:19:37 -0800 * Several improvements to input framework error handling for more robustness and more helpful error messages. Includes tests for many cases. (Johanna Amann) 2.2-66 | 2013-12-09 13:54:16 -0800 * Fix table &default reference counting for record ctor expressions. (Jon Siwek) * Close signature files after done parsing. (Jon Siwek) * Fix unlikely null ptr deref in broxygen::Manager. (Jon Siwek) * FreeBSD build fix addendum: unintended variable shadowing. (Jon Siwek) * Fix build on FreeBSD. basename(3)/dirname(3) const-ness may vary w/ platform. (Jon Siwek) * Updated software framework to support parsing IE11 user-agent strings. (Seth Hall) * Fix the irc_reply event for several server message types. (Seth Hall) * Fix memory leak in input framework. If the input framework was used to read event streams and those streams contained records with more than one field, not all elements of the threading Values were cleaned up. Addresses BIT-1103. (Johanna Amann) * Minor Broxygen improvements. Addresses BIT-1098. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-51 | 2013-12-05 07:53:37 -0800 * Improve a unit test involving 'when' conditionals. (Jon Siwek) 2.2-48 | 2013-12-04 13:45:47 -0800 * Support omission of string slice low/high indices, BIT-1097. Omission of the low index defaults to 0: s = "12345"; s[:3] == "123" Omission of the high index defaults to length of the string: s = "12345"; s[3:] == "45" (Jon Siwek) * Tweak to SMTP script to adjust for new string slicing behaviour. (Robin Sommer) * Test updates. (Robin Sommer) 2.2-44 | 2013-12-04 12:41:51 -0800 * Fix string slice notation. Addresses BIT-1097. (Jon Siwek) Slice ranges were not correctly determined for negative indices and also off by one in general (included one more element at the end of the substring than what actually matched the index range). It's now equivalent to Python slice notation. Accessing a string at a single index is also the same as Python except that an out-of-range index returns an empty string instead of throwing an expection. 2.2-41 | 2013-12-04 12:40:51 -0800 * Updating tests. (Robin Sommer) 2.2-40 | 2013-12-04 12:16:38 -0800 * ssl_client_hello() now receives a vector of ciphers, instead of a set, to preserve their order.

(Robin Sommer) * Prettyfing Describe() for record types. If a record type has a name and ODesc is set to short, we now print the name instead of the full field list. (Robin Sommer) 2.2-35 | 2013-12-04 10:10:32 -0800 * Rework the automated script-reference documentation generation process, broxygen. Addresses BIT-701 and BIT-751. (Jon Siwek) Highlights: - Remove --doc-scripts and -Z options to toggle documentation mode. The parser is now always instrumented to gather documentation from comments of the form "##", "##!", or "##<". - Raw comments are available at runtime through several BIF functions: get_*_comments; - Add --broxygen and -X options to toggle generating reST-format documentation output, driven by a config file argument. - Add a "broxygen" Sphinx extension domain, allowing certain pieces of documentation to be generated on-the-fly via invoking a Bro process. Re-organized/cleaned up the Sphinx source tree in doc/ to use this in some places. 2.2-11 | 2013-12-03 10:56:28 -0800 * Unit test for broccoli vector support.

This includes two new chapters contributed by Scott Runnels. 2.1-1216 | 2013-08-31 10:39:40 -0700 * Support for probabilistic set cardinality, using the HyperLogLog algorithm. (Johanna Amann, Soumya Basu) Bro now provides the following BiFs: hll_cardinality_init(err: double, confidence: double): opaque of cardinality hll_cardinality_add(handle: opaque of cardinality, elem: any): bool hll_cardinality_merge_into(handle1: opaque of cardinality, handle2: opaque of cardinality): bool hll_cardinality_estimate(handle: opaque of cardinality): double hll_cardinality_copy(handle: opaque of cardinality): opaque of cardinality 2.1-1154 | 2013-08-30 08:27:45 -0700 * Fix global opaque val segfault.

(Seth Hall) * Rework of SumStats API to reduce high instantaneous memory use on clusters. (Seth Hall) * Large update for the SumStats framework. - On-demand access to sumstats results through "return from" functions named SumStats::request and Sumstats::request_key. Both functions are tested in standalone and clustered modes. - $name field has returned to SumStats which simplifies cluster code and makes the on-demand access stuff possible. - Clustered results can only be collected for 1 minute from their time of creation now instead of time of last read. - Thresholds use doubles instead of counts everywhere now. - Calculation dependency resolution occurs at start up time now instead of doing it at observation time which provide a minor cpu performance improvement. A new plugin registration mechanism was created to support this change. - AppStats now has a minimal doc string and is broken into hook-based plugins. - AppStats and traceroute detection added to local.bro (Seth Hall) 2.1-1009 | 2013-08-02 17:19:08 -0700 * A number of exec module and raw input reader fixes.

(Seth Hall and Jon Siwek) Includes: * Added protocol description functions that provide a super compressed log representation. (Seth Hall) * Added mime types to http.log (Seth Hall) * Add jar files to the default MHR lookups. (Seth Hall) * Adding CAB files for MHR checking. (Seth Hall) * Improve malware hash registry script. - Include a link to a virustotal search in the notice sub message field. - Give all information returned from Team Cymru in the notice message. - Add more file types to match on to the default set. * Make the custom libmagic database a git submodule. * Add an is_orig parameter to file_over_new_connection event. * Recorrected the module name to Files. * Added Files::analyzer_name to get a more readable name for a file analyzer. * Improved and just overall better handled multipart mime transfers in HTTP and SMTP. HTTP now has orig_fuids and resp_fuids log fields since multiple "files" can be transferred with multipart mime in a single request/response pair. SMTP has an fuids field which has file unique IDs for all parts transferred. FTP and IRC have a log field named fuid added because only a single file can be transferred per irc and ftp log line. 2.1-895 | 2013-07-29 14:07:35 -0700 * Adding a test for a DNSKEY RR. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-894 | 2013-07-29 16:44:41 -0400 * Updates for the Intel Framework. (Seth Hall) - policy/frameworks/intel/seen is the new location for the scripts that push data into the intel framework for checking. - The new policy/frameworks/intel/do_notice script adds an example mechanism for data driven notices. - Remove the Intel insertion after heuristically detecting SSH bruteforcing. - Intel importing format has changed (refer to docs). - All string matching is now case insensitive. - SMTP intel script has been updated to extract email addresses correctly. - Small fix sneaking into the smtp base script to actually extract individual email addresses in the To: field correctly. 2.1-888 | 2013-07-25 12:02:41 -0700 * Protection about broken traces with empty pcap headers. (Matt Thompson) 2.1-887 | 2013-07-25 11:33:27 -0700 * Support for Bloom filter. (Matthias Vallentin) Bro now provides the following BiFs: bloomfilter_basic_init(fp: double, capacity: count, name: string &default=""): opaque of bloomfilter bloomfilter_counting_init(k: count, cells: count, max: count, name: string &default=""): opaque of bloomfilter bloomfilter_add(bf: opaque of bloomfilter, x: any) bloomfilter_lookup(bf: opaque of bloomfilter, x: any): count bloomfilter_merge(bf1: opaque of bloomfilter, bf2: opaque of bloomfilter): opaque of bloomfilter bloomfilter_clear(bf: opaque of bloomfilter) Note that currently Bloom filters from separate Bro instances (e.g., from different cluster nodes) cannot be merged. 2.1-826 | 2013-07-25 10:12:26 -0700 * bif files declared with bif_target() are now automatically compiled in. No more manual includes to pull them in. (Robin Sommer) * Covenience make target in testing/btest to update the three coverage tests that usually need tweaking when scripts get added/removed. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-824 | 2013-07-22 14:25:14 -0400 * Fixed a scriptland state issue that manifested especially badly on proxies. (Seth Hall) * Another test fix. (Robin Sommer) * Canonyfying the output of core.print-bpf-filters. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-820 | 2013-07-18 12:30:04 -0700 * Extending external canonifier to remove fractional values from capture_loss.log. (Robin Sommer) * Canonifying internal order for plugins and their components to make it deterministic. (Robin Sommer) * Small raw reader tweaks that got left our earlier. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-814 | 2013-07-15 18:18:20 -0700 * Fixing raw reader crash when accessing nonexistant file, and memory leak when reading from file. Addresses #1038. (Johanna Amann) 2.1-811 | 2013-07-14 08:01:54 -0700 * Bump sqlite to 3.7.17. (Johanna Amann) * Small test fixes. (Seth Hall) * Fix a bug where the same analyzer tag was reused for two different analyzers. (Seth Hall) * Moved DPD signatures into script specific directories. Left out the BitTorrent signatures pending further updates to that analyzer. (Seth Hall) 2.1-802 | 2013-07-10 10:55:14 -0700 * Const adjustment for methods. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-798 | 2013-07-08 13:05:37 -0700 * Rewrite of the packet filter framework. (Seth Hall) This includes: - Plugin interface for adding filtering mechanisms. - Integrated the packet filter framework with the analyzer framework to retrieve well-known ports from there. - Support for BPF-based load balancing (IPv4 and IPv6). This will tie in with upcoming BroControl support for configuring this. - Support for BPF-based connection sampling. - Support for "shunting" traffic with BPF filters. - Replaced PacketFilter::all_packets with PacketFilter::enable_auto_protocol_capture_filters. 2.1-784 | 2013-07-04 22:28:48 -0400 * Add a call to lookup_connection in SSH scripts to update connval. (Seth Hall) * Updating submodule(s). (Robin Sommer) 2.1-782 | 2013-07-03 17:00:39 -0700 * Remove the SSL log queueing mechanism that was included with the log delay mechanism. (Seth Hall) 2.1-780 | 2013-07-03 16:46:26 -0700 * Rewrite of the RAW input reader for improved robustness and new features. (Johanna Amann) This includes: - Send "end_of_data" event for all kind of streams. - Send "process_finished" event with exit code of child process at process termination. - Expose name of input stream to readers. - Better error handling. - New "force_kill" option which SIGKILLs processes on reader termination. - Supports reading from stdout and stderr simultaneously. - Support sending data to stdin of child process. - Streaming reads from external commands work without blocking. 2.1-762 | 2013-07-03 16:33:22 -0700 * Fix to correct support for TLS 1.2. Addresses #1020. (Seth Hall, with help from Rafal Lesniak). 2.1-760 | 2013-07-03 16:31:36 -0700 * Teach broxygen to generate protocol analyzer plugin reference. (Jon Siwek) * Adding 'const' to a number of C++ methods. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-757 | 2013-07-03 16:28:10 -0700 * Fix redef of table index from clearing table. `redef foo["x"] = 1` now acts like `redef foo += { ["x"] = 1 }` instead of `redef foo = { ["x"] = 1 }`. Addresses #1013. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-755 | 2013-07-03 16:22:43 -0700 * Add a general file analysis overview/how-to document. (Jon Siwek) * Improve file analysis doxygen comments. (Jon Siwek) * Improve tracking of HTTP file extraction. http.log now has files taken from request and response bodies in different fields for each, and can now track multiple files per body. That is, the "extraction_file" field is now "extracted_request_files" and "extracted_response_files". Addresses #988. (Jon Siwek) * Fix HTTP multipart body file analysis. Each part now gets assigned a different file handle/id. (Jon Siwek) * Remove logging of analyzers field of FileAnalysis::Info. (Jon Siwek) * Remove extraction counter in default file extraction scripts. (Jon Siwek) * Remove FileAnalysis::postpone_timeout. FileAnalysis::set_timeout_interval can now perform same function. (Jon Siwek) * Make default get_file_handle handlers &priority=5 so they're easier to override. (Jon Siwek) * Add input interface to forward data for file analysis. The new Input::add_analysis function is used to automatically forward input data on to the file analysis framework. (Jon Siwek) * File analysis framework interface simplifications. (Jon Siwek) - Remove script-layer data input interface (will be managed directly by input framework later). - Only track files internally by file id hash. Chance of collision too small to justify also tracking unique file string. 2.1-741 | 2013-06-07 17:28:50 -0700 * Fixing typo that could cause an assertion to falsely trigger. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-740 | 2013-06-07 16:37:32 -0700 * Fix for CMake 2.6.x. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-738 | 2013-06-07 08:38:13 -0700 * Remove invalid free on non-allocated pointer in hash function object. Addresses #1018. (Matthias Vallentin) 2.1-736 | 2013-06-06 10:05:20 -0700 * New "magic constants" @DIR and @FILENAME that expand to the directory path of the current script and just the script file name without path, respectively. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-731 | 2013-06-04 21:19:08 -0700 * Reorginization of internal protocol analyzer code. We're moving them to a modularized structure, based on a plugin model. Along with this change comes generic plugin infrastructure that we'll later extend to other Bro component as well. For now all plugins are compiled in statically, but in the future we plan to also enable dynamic loading at run time. (Robin Sommer) * Ignoring file ids in external tests. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-675 | 2013-06-02 20:03:19 -0700 * Fix a compiler warning. (Robin Sommer) * Allow named vector/set/table/record constructors. Addresses #983. (Jon Siwek) * Adding Makefile target test-all that also runs the BroControl test suite. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-664 | 2013-05-28 21:37:46 -0700 * Dangling pointer fix. Addresses #1004. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-659 | 2013-05-24 17:24:18 -0700 * Fix broken/missing documentation. (Jon Siwek) * Fixing test that would fail without ES/curl support. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-656 | 2013-05-17 15:58:07 -0700 * Fix mutex lock problem for writers. (Johanna Amann) 2.1-654 | 2013-05-17 13:49:52 -0700 * Tweaks to sqlite3 configuration to address threading issues. (Johanna Amann) 2.1-651 | 2013-05-17 13:37:16 -0700 * Fix uninitialized DPM member. (Jon Siwek) * Fix issue with transaction ID reuse in a single DNS connection. (Seth Hall) * New function added to the queue.bro script to support peeking at the new gettable item in the queue without removing it. (Seth Hall) 2.1-647 | 2013-05-17 07:47:14 -0700 * Fixing Broxygen generation to have BROMAGIC set. (Robin Sommer) * Fix for 'fchmod undeclared here' on FreeBSD. (Robin Sommer) * CMake policy fix to avoid errors with older versions. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-641 | 2013-05-15 18:15:09 -0700 * Test update. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-640 | 2013-05-15 17:24:09 -0700 * Support for cleaning up threads that have terminated. (Johanna Amann and Robin Sommer). Includes: - Both logging and input frameworks now clean up threads once they aren't further needed anymnore. - New function Log::remove_stream() that removes a logging stream, stopping all writer threads that are associated with it. Note, however, that removing a *filter* from a stream still doesn't clean up any threads. The problem is that because of the output paths potentially being created dynamically it's unclear if the writer thread will still be needed in the future. 2.1-626 | 2013-05-15 16:09:31 -0700 * Add "reservoir" sampler for SumStats framework. This maintains a set of N uniquely distributed random samples. (Johanna Amann) 2.1-619 | 2013-05-15 16:01:42 -0700 * SQLite reader and writer combo. This allows to read/write persistent data from on disk SQLite databases. The current interface is quite low-level, we'll add higher-level abstractions in the future. (Johanna Amann) 2.1-576 | 2013-05-15 14:29:09 -0700 * Initial version of new file analysis framework. This moves most of the processing of file content from script-land into the core, where it belongs. Much of this is an internal change, and at this point the new code has essentially feature-equality with the old one. More script-level changes to come. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-502 | 2013-05-10 19:29:37 -0700 * Allow default function/hook/event parameters. Addresses #972. (Jon Siwek) * Change the endianness parameter of bytestring_to_count() BIF to default to false (big endian). (Jon Siwek) 2.1-500 | 2013-05-10 19:22:24 -0700 * Fix to prevent merge-hook of SumStat's unique plugin from damaging source data. (Johanna Amann) 2.1-498 | 2013-05-03 17:44:08 -0700 * Table lookups return copy of non-const &default vals. This prevents unintentional modifications to the &default value itself. Addresses #981. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-496 | 2013-05-03 15:54:47 -0700 * Fix memory leak and unnecessary allocations in OpaqueVal. Addresses #986. (Matthias Vallentin) 2.1-492 | 2013-05-02 12:46:26 -0700 * Work-around for sumstats framework not propagating updates after intermediate check in cluster environments. (Johanna Amann) * Always apply tcp_connection_attempt. Before this change it was only applied when a connection_attempt() event handler was defined. (Robin Sommer) * Fixing coverage.bare-mode-errors test. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-487 | 2013-05-01 18:03:22 -0700 * Always apply tcp_connection_attempt timer, even if no connection_attempt() event handler is defined. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-486 | 2013-05-01 15:28:45 -0700 * New framework for computing summary statistics in base/framework/sumstats. This replaces the metrics frameworks, and comes with a number of applications build on top, see NEWS. More documentation to follow. (Seth Hall) 2.1-397 | 2013-04-29 21:19:00 -0700 * Fixing memory leaks in CompHash implementation. Addresses #987. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-394 | 2013-04-27 15:02:31 -0700 * Fixed a bug in the vulnerable software script and added a test. (Seth Hall) * Fix schedule statements used outside event handlers. Addresses #974. (Jon Siwek) * Fix record coercion for default inner record fields. Addresses #973. (Jon Siwek) * Add bytestring_to_count function to bro.bif. Addresses #968. (Yun Zheng Hu) 2.1-386 | 2013-03-22 12:41:50 -0700 * Added reverse() function to strings.bif. (Yun Zheng Hu) 2.1-384 | 2013-03-22 12:10:14 -0700 * Fix record constructors in table initializer indices. Addresses #660. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-382 | 2013-03-22 12:01:34 -0700 * Add support for 802.1ah (Q-in-Q). Addresses #641. (Seth Hall) 2.1-380 | 2013-03-18 12:18:10 -0700 * Fix gcc compile warnings in base64 encoder and benchmark reader. (Johanna Amann) 2.1-377 | 2013-03-17 17:36:09 -0700 * Fixing potential leak in DNS error case. (Vlad Grigorescu) 2.1-375 | 2013-03-17 13:14:26 -0700 * Add base64 encoding functionality, including new BiFs encode_base64() and encode_base64_custom(). (Johanna Amann) * Replace call to external "openssl" in extract-certs-pem.bro with that encode_base64(). (Johanna Amann) * Adding a test for extract-certs-pem.pem. (Robin Sommer) * Renaming Base64Decoder to Base64Converter. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-366 | 2013-03-17 12:35:59 -0700 * Correctly handle DNS lookups for software version ranges. (Seth Hall) * Improvements to vulnerable software detection. (Seth Hall) - Add a DNS based updating method. This needs to be tested still. - Vulnerable version ranges are used now instead of only single versions. This can deal with software with multiple stable major versions. * Update software version parsing and comparison to account for a third numeric subversion. Also, $addl is now compared numerically if the value is actually numeric. (Seth Hall) 2.1-361 | 2013-03-13 07:18:22 -0700 * Add check for truncated link frames. Addresses #962. (Jacob Baines) * Fix large memory allocation in IP fragment reassembly. Addresses #961. (Jacob Baines) 2.1-357 | 2013-03-08 09:18:35 -0800 * Fix race-condition in table-event test. (Johanna Amann) * s/bro-ids.org/bro.org/g. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-353 | 2013-03-07 13:31:37 -0800 * Fix function type-equivalence requiring same parameter names. Addresses #957. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-351 | 2013-03-07 13:27:29 -0800 * Fix new/delete mismatch. Addresses #958. (Jacob Baines) * Fix compiler warnings. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-347 | 2013-03-06 16:48:44 -0800 * Remove unused parameter from vector assignment method. (Johanna Amann) * Remove the byte_len() and length() bifs. (Johanna Amann) 2.1-342 | 2013-03-06 15:42:52 -0800 * Moved the Notice::notice event and Notice::policy table to both be hooks. See documentation and NEWS for information. (Seth Hall). 2.1-338 | 2013-03-06 15:10:43 -0800 * Fix init of local sets/vectors via curly brace initializer lists. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-336 | 2013-03-06 15:08:06 -0800 * Fix memory leaks resulting from 'when' and 'return when' statements. Addresses #946. (Jon Siwek) * Fix three bugs with 'when' and 'return when' statements. Addresses #946. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-333 | 2013-03-06 14:59:47 -0800 * Add parsing for GTPv1 extension headers and control messages. (Jon Siwek) This includes: - A new generic gtpv1_message() event generated for any GTP message type. - Specific events for the create/update/delete PDP context request/response messages. Addresses #934. 2.1-331 | 2013-03-06 14:54:33 -0800 * Fix possible null pointer dereference in identify_data BIF. Also centralized libmagic calls for consistent error handling/output. (Jon Siwek) * Fix build on OpenBSD 5.2. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-328 | 2013-02-05 01:34:29 -0500 * New script to query the ICSI Certificate Notary (http://notary.icsi.berkeley.edu/) over DNS and add information to the SSL log at runtime. (Matthias Vallentin) * Add delayed logging to SSL base scripts. (Matthias Vallentin) 2.1-319 | 2013-02-04 09:45:34 -0800 * Update input tests to use exit_only_after_terminate. (Johanna Amann) * New option exit_only_after_terminate to prevent Bro from exiting. If set, the main loop won't terminate before somebody calls terminate(). (Robin Sommer) 2.1-311 | 2013-02-01 08:03:01 -0800 * Updating submodule(s). 2.1-310 | 2013-01-30 20:09:27 -0800 * Add an error for record coercions that would orphan a field. (Jon Siwek) * Fixing several scripts where a field in an inlined record was never removed after a code refactor. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-307 | 2013-01-25 13:50:57 -0800 * Fix runaway reference counting bug in record coercion. (Jon Siwek) * Fix memory leak in some reporter messaging cases. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-304 | 2013-01-23 19:43:27 -0800 * Making a test portable. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-302 | 2013-01-23 16:17:29 -0800 * Refactoring ASCII formatting/parsing from loggers/readers into a separate AsciiFormatter class. (Johanna Amann) * Fix uninitialized locals in event/hook handlers from having a value. Addresses #932. (Jon Siwek) * Add a null value check in CompositeHash::ComputeHash. Addresses #930. (Jon Siwek) * Change reporter messages to more reliably print to stderr. Addressed #930 (and revisits #836). (Jon Siwek) * Changing test=suite's btest call to use "-j" instead of "-j 5". (Robin Sommer) * Require "case" blocks to end with either "break", "return", or a new "fallthrough" statement that passes control on to the subsequent case. This gives us the best mix of safety, readability, and flexibility. Addresses #754. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-279 | 2013-01-18 17:18:22 -0800 * Revert "Trick for parallelizing input framework unit tests." The old way of doing the tests seems more reliable for now. (Jon Siwek) * Fixing variable size issues with http response code in ElasticSearch writer. (Gilbert Clark) * Removing unused class member. (Robin Sommer) * Add opaque type-ignoring for the accept_unsupported_types input framework option. (Johanna Amann) 2.1-271 | 2013-01-08 10:18:57 -0800 * Change substring index notation to use a colon. String slice notation is now written as `s[1:2]`. Addresses #422. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-268 | 2013-01-07 09:43:44 -0800 * Fix memory leak in OpaqueType::DoUnserialize. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-265 | 2012-12-20 17:38:42 -0800 * Add array-style index accessor for strings. Addresses #422. (Jon Siwek) The index expression can take up to two indices for the start and end index of the substring to return (e.g. "mystring[1,3]"). Negative indices are allowed, with -1 representing the last character in the string. The indexing is not cyclic -- if the starting index is >= the length of the string an empty string is returned, and if the ending index is >= the length of the string then it's interpreted as the last index of the string. Assigning to substrings accessed like this isn't allowed. 2.1-263 | 2012-12-20 16:22:09 -0800 * Bro's language now has a new set of types "opaque of X". (Matthias Vallentin) Opaque values can be passed around like other values but they can only be manipulated with BiF functions, not with other operators. Currently, the following opaque types are supported: - opaque of md5 - opaque of sha1 - opaque of sha256 - opaquey of entropy. They go along with the corrsponding BiF functions md5_*, sha1_*, sha256_*, and entropy_*, respectively. Note that these functions have changed their signatures to work with opaques types rather than global state as it was before. 2.1-240 | 2012-12-20 15:21:07 -0800 * Improve error for invalid use of types as values. Addresses #923. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-238 | 2012-12-20 15:11:25 -0800 * Finish implementation of script-layer switch statement. Addresses #754. (Jon Siwek) They behave like C-style switches except case labels can be comprised of multiple literal constants delimited by commas. Only atomic types are allowed for now. Case label bodies that don't execute a "return" or "break" statement will fall through to subsequent cases. A default case label is allowed. * Fix a case where c$resp$size is misrepresented. Addresses #730. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-234 | 2012-12-20 12:12:19 -0800 * Fix return value of hook calls that have no handlers. For this case, the return value is always true. (Jon Siwek) * Fix to_port() BIF for port strings with a port number of zero. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-231 | 2012-12-14 14:51:35 -0800 * Make const variables actually constant. Both local and global variables declared with "const" could be modified, but now expressions that would modify them generate an error message at parse-time. Addresses #922. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-229 | 2012-12-14 14:46:12 -0800 * Fix memory leak in ASCII reader when encoutering errors in input. (Johanna Amann) * Improvements for the "bad checksums" detector to make it detect bad TCP checksums. (Seth Hall) 2.1-223 | 2012-12-12 14:25:15 -0800 * Trick for parallelizing input framework unit tests. Instead of loading listen.bro to block until files are read, just read a pcap file in pseudo-realtime. (Jon Siwek) * Fix reliability of a unit test that relies on when statements. (Jon Siwek) * Remove unused attributes. (Daniel Thayer) - Removed attributes &postprocessor and &match from documentation and source code. - Removed undocumented attribute &attr from source code. - Removed internal attribute "(&tracked)" from documentation. 2.1-218 | 2012-12-10 14:45:04 -0800 * Add GPRS Tunnelling Protocol (GTPv1) decapsulation. This currently supports automatic decapsulation of GTP-U packets on UDP port 2152. The GTPv1 headers for such tunnels can be inspected by handling the "gtpv1_g_pdu_packet" event, which has a parameter of type "gtpv1_hdr". Addresses #690. (Jon Siwek; derived from patch by Carsten Langer) * Change BinPAC exceptions in AYIYA/GTP analyzers to do "protocol_violation". (Jon Siwek) 2.1-212 | 2012-12-07 19:42:03 -0800 * Changing the HTTP parser to accept request methods in alignment with the RFC. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-209 | 2012-12-05 16:44:04 -0800 * Adapting the HTTP request line parsing to only accept methods consisting of letters [A-Za-z]. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-207 | 2012-12-05 15:47:32 -0800 * Reporting warnings if kill/waitpid fail in communication system. (Bill Parker) * Replace() bzero with memset(). (Bill Parker) * Merge remote-tracking branch 'vlad/topic/vladg/http-verbs' * vlad/topic/vladg/http-verbs: A test for HTTP methods, including some horribly illegal requests. Remove hardcoded HTTP verbs from the analyzer (#741) I added a "bad_HTTP_request" weird for HTTP request lines that don't have more than a single word. Closes #741. (Robin Sommer) * A test for HTTP methods, including some horribly illegal requests. (Vlad Grigorescu) * Remove hardcoded HTTP verbs from the analyzer (#741) (Vlad Grigorescu) 2.1-203 | 2012-12-05 14:36:56 -0800 * Fix segfault: Synchronization of state between connecting peers now skips over identifiers that aren't initialized with a value yet. Addresses #66. (Jon Siwek) * Fix segfault: Delete correct entry in error case in input framework. (Johanna Amann) * Bad record constructor initializers now give an error. Addresses #34. (Jon Siwek) * Invalid vector indices now generate error message. Addresses #24. (Jon Siwek) * Bump CPack RPM package requirement to Python >= 2.6.0. (Jon Siwek) * Interpreter exceptions occurring in "when" blocks are now handled. Addresses #779 (Jon Siwek) 2.1-195 | 2012-12-03 14:50:33 -0800 * Catching out-of-memory in patricia tree code. (Bill Parker) 2.1-194 | 2012-12-03 14:36:26 -0800 * Renaming ASCII writer filter option 'only_single_header_row' to 'tsv'. Also clarifying usage. Closes #912. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-193 | 2012-12-03 14:11:14 -0800 * Fix a set of bugs with table/set attributes. (Jon Siwek) - Identifiers that are initialized with set()/table() constructor expressions now inherit attributes from the expression. Before, statements like const i: set[string] = set() &redef; associated the attribute with the set() constructor, but not the "i" identifier, preventing redefinition. Addresses #866. - Allow &default attribute to apply to tables initialized as empty (via either "{ }" or "table()") or if the expression supplied to it can evaluate to a type that's promotable to the same yield type as the table. 2.1-191 | 2012-12-03 14:08:56 -0800 * Add test of record() constructor to table initializer unit test. (Jon Siwek) * Fix table(), set(), vector() constructors in table initializer lists. Also adds type checking of yield values to table() constructor and fixes the type checking of yield values in vector() constructor. Addresses #5. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-188 | 2012-12-03 14:04:29 -0800 * Hook functions now callable with "hook" expression (i.e., hook is no longer a statement). The return value of the call is an implicit boolean value of T if all hook handlers ran, or F if one hook handler exited as a result of a break statement and potentially prevented other handlers from running. Scripts don't need to declare hooks with an explicit return type of bool (internally, that's assumed), and any values given to (optional) return statements in handler definitions are just ignored. Addresses #918. (Jon Siwek) * Clarification in hook documentation. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-184 | 2012-12-03 13:59:50 -0800 * Slightly fix up file name extraction from Content-Disposition headers. (Seth Hall) * Adding -b flag to bro in unit tests so they run faster. * Fixed a DNS attribute issue. Reported by Matt Thompson. (Seth Hall) * Adding NEWS placeholder for hooks and CSV mode. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-178 | 2012-11-23 19:35:32 -0800 * The ASCII writer now supports a new filter config option "only_single_header_row" that turns the output into CSV format when set to "T". (Carsten Langer) * Add new function flavor called a "hook". This new flavor of function behaves like a "synchronous event". See doc/scripts/builtins.rst more details on usage. (Jon Siwek) * Improve auto-generated enum documentation. The names of enum types are tracked so that variables holding a value of a given enum type can generate a reference to it instead of just listing the type as a generic "enum". (Jon Siwek) 2.1-171 | 2012-11-23 18:24:15 -0800 * Fix ambiguity between composite table index and record ctor expressions. If a table type is "global t = table[conn_id, bool] of count", then checking membership like "[c$id, is_orig] in t" now works. Addresses #80. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-169 | 2012-11-23 18:21:32 -0800 * Fix some warnings from sphinx when building docs. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-167 | 2012-11-14 13:19:17 -0800 * Add a new BIF "bytestring_to_double" for converting from a binary representation of a double. Addresses #908. (Carsten Langer/Daniel Thayer) 2.1-162 | 2012-11-13 17:29:00 -0800 * Fix modbus register array parsing. (Jon Siwek) * Adjustments to modbus test cases. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-157 | 2012-11-08 16:22:00 -0800 * Fix for lookup_hostname BIF. (Jon Siwek) * Fix for modbus test portability. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-152 | 2012-11-05 16:52:34 -0800 * Initial version of a completely reworked intelligence framework. See doc/intel.rst for more information. (Seth Hall) * Experimental Modbus analyzer. See policy/protocols/modbus/* for example policies. (Dina Hadziosmanovic, Seth Hall) 2.1-112 | 2012-11-05 13:58:20 -0800 * New base script for detecting cases of checksum offloading. Reporter messages will now tell if one has bad checksums. (Seth Hall) * Clarifying ownership rules for BroString constructors. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-109 | 2012-11-05 13:39:34 -0800 * Add detection rate threshold for MHR. (Vlad Grigorescu) * lookup_hostname_txt fixes. (Vlad Grigorescu) 2.1-104 | 2012-11-01 10:37:50 -0700 * A new built-in function lookup_hostname_txt() provides support for DNS TXT queries. (Vlad Grigorescu) 2.1-101 | 2012-10-31 14:30:26 -0700 * Documentation reorg: The install info has been consolidated into a single document (INSTALL), the upgrade info has been moved from the FAQ to a section in the install doc, and the "upgrading from 1.5 to 2.0" document has been updated (and renamed) to also include 2.0 to 2.1 upgrade info. (Daniel Thayer) 2.1-96 | 2012-10-31 14:23:50 -0700 * Renaming option defining the frequency of alarm summary mails to 'Logging::default_alarm_mail_interval'. (Daniel Thayer) 2.1-91 | 2012-10-24 16:04:47 -0700 * Adding PPPoE support to Bro. (Seth Hall) 2.1-87 | 2012-10-24 15:40:06 -0700 * Adding missing &redef for some TCP options. Addresses #905, #906, #907. (Carsten Langer) 2.1-86 | 2012-10-24 15:37:11 -0700 * Add parsing rules for IPv4/IPv6 subnet literal constants. Addresses #888. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-84 | 2012-10-19 15:12:56 -0700 * Added a BiF strptime() to wrap the corresponding C function. (Seth Hall) 2.1-82 | 2012-10-19 15:05:40 -0700 * Add IPv6 support to signature header conditions. (Jon Siwek) - "src-ip" and "dst-ip" conditions can now use IPv6 addresses/subnets. They must be written in colon-hexadecimal representation and enclosed in square brackets (e.g. [fe80::1]). Addresses #774. - "icmp6" is now a valid protocol for use with "ip-proto" and "header" conditions. This allows signatures to be written that can match against ICMPv6 payloads. Addresses #880. - "ip6" is now a valid protocol for use with the "header" condition. (also the "ip-proto" condition, but it results in a no-op in that case since signatures apply only to the inner-most IP packet when packets are tunneled). This allows signatures to match specifically against IPv6 packets (whereas "ip" only matches against IPv4 packets). - "ip-proto" conditions can now match against IPv6 packets. Before, IPv6 packets were just silently ignored which meant DPD based on signatures did not function for IPv6 -- protocol analyzers would only get attached to a connection over IPv6 based on the well-known ports set in the "dpd_config" table. 2.1-80 | 2012-10-19 14:48:42 -0700 * Change how "gridftp" gets added to service field of connection records. In addition to checking for a finished SSL handshake over an FTP connection, it now also requires that the SSL handshake occurs after the FTP client requested AUTH GSSAPI, more specifically identifying the characteristics of GridFTP control channels. Addresses #891. (Jon Siwek) * Allow faster rebuilds in certain cases. Previously, when rebuilding with a different "--prefix" or "--scriptdir", all Bro source files were recompiled. With this change, only util.cc is recompiled. (Daniel Thayer) 2.1-76 | 2012-10-12 10:32:39 -0700 * Add support for recognizing GridFTP connections as an extension to the standard FTP analyzer. (Jon Siwek) This is enabled by default and includes: - An analyzer for GSI mechanism of GSSAPI FTP AUTH method. GSI authentication involves an encoded TLS/SSL handshake over the FTP control session. For FTP sessions that attempt GSI authentication, the *service* field of the connection log will include "gridftp" (as well as also "ftp" and "ssl"). - Add an example of a GridFTP data channel detection script. 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. For identified GridFTP data channels, the *services* fields of the connection log will include "gridftp-data". * Add *client_subject* and *client_issuer_subject* as &log'd fields to SSL::Info record. Also add *client_cert* and *client_cert_chain* fields to track client cert chain. (Jon Siwek) * Add 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. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-68 | 2012-10-12 09:46:41 -0700 * Rename the Input Framework's update_finished event to end_of_data. It will now not only fire after table-reads have been completed, but also after the last event of a whole-file-read (or whole-db-read, etc.). (Johanna Amann) * Fix for DNS log problem when a DNS response is seen with 0 RRs. (Seth Hall) 2.1-64 | 2012-10-12 09:36:41 -0700 * Teach --disable-dataseries/--disable-elasticsearch to ./configure. Addresses #877. (Jon Siwek) * Add --with-curl option to ./configure. Addresses #877. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-61 | 2012-10-12 09:32:48 -0700 * Fix bug in the input framework: the config table did not work. (Johanna Amann) 2.1-58 | 2012-10-08 10:10:09 -0700 * Fix a problem with non-manager cluster nodes applying Notice::policy. This could, for example, result in duplicate emails being sent if Notice::emailed_types is redef'd in local.bro (or any script that gets loaded on all cluster nodes). (Jon Siwek) 2.1-56 | 2012-10-03 16:04:52 -0700 * Add general FAQ entry about upgrading Bro. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-53 | 2012-10-03 16:00:40 -0700 * Add new Tunnel::delay_teredo_confirmation option that indicates that the Teredo analyzer should wait until it sees both sides of a connection using a valid Teredo encapsulation before issuing a protocol_confirmation. Default is on. Addresses #890. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-50 | 2012-10-02 12:06:08 -0700 * Fix a typing issue that prevented the ElasticSearch timeout to work. (Matthias Vallentin) * Use second granularity for ElasticSearch timeouts. (Matthias Vallentin) * Fix compile issues with older versions of libcurl, which don't offer *_MS timeout constants. (Matthias Vallentin) 2.1-47 | 2012-10-02 11:59:29 -0700 * Fix for the input framework: BroStrings were constructed without a final \0, which makes them unusable by basically all internal functions (like to_count). (Johanna Amann) * Remove deprecated script functionality (see NEWS for details). (Daniel Thayer) 2.1-39 | 2012-09-29 14:09:16 -0700 * Reliability adjustments to istate tests with network communication. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-37 | 2012-09-25 14:21:37 -0700 * Reenable some tests that previously would cause Bro to exit with an error. (Daniel Thayer) * Fix parsing of large integers on 32-bit systems. (Daniel Thayer) * Serialize language.when unit test with the "comm" group. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-32 | 2012-09-24 16:24:34 -0700 * Fix race condition in language/when.bro test. (Daniel Thayer) 2.1-26 | 2012-09-23 08:46:03 -0700 * Add an item to FAQ page about broctl options. (Daniel Thayer) * Add more language tests. We now have tests of all built-in Bro data types (including different representations of constant values, and max./min. values), keywords, and operators (including special properties of certain operators, such as short-circuit evaluation and associativity). (Daniel Thayer) * Fix construction of ip6_ah (Authentication Header) record values. Authentication Headers with a Payload Len field set to zero would cause a crash due to invalid memory allocation because the previous code assumed Payload Len would always be great enough to contain all mandatory fields of the header. (Jon Siwek) * Update compile/dependency docs for OS X. (Jon Siwek) * Adjusting Mac binary packaging script. Setting CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH helps link against standard system libs instead of ones that come from other package manager (e.g. MacPorts). (Jon Siwek) * Adjusting some unit tests that do cluster communication. (Jon Siwek) * Small change to non-blocking DNS initialization. (Jon Siwek) * Reorder a few statements in scan.l to make 1.5msecs etc work. Adresses #872. (Johanna Amann) 2.1-6 | 2012-09-06 23:23:14 -0700 * Fixed a bug where "a -= b" (both operands are intervals) was not allowed in Bro scripts (although "a = a - b" is allowed). (Daniel Thayer) * Fixed a bug where the "!=" operator with subnet operands was treated the same as the "==" operator. (Daniel Thayer) * Add sleeps to configuration_update test for better reliability. (Jon Siwek) * Fix a segfault when iterating over a set when using malformed index. (Daniel Thayer) 2.1 | 2012-08-28 16:46:42 -0700 * Make bif.identify_magic robust against FreeBSD's libmagic config. (Robin Sommer) * Remove automatic use of gperftools on non-Linux systems. --enable-perftools must now explicity be supplied to ./configure on non-Linux systems to link against the tcmalloc library. * Fix uninitialized value for 'is_partial' in TCP analyzer. (Jon Siwek) * Parse 64-bit consts in Bro scripts correctly. (Johanna Amann) * Output 64-bit counts correctly on 32-bit machines (Johanna Amann) * Input framework fixes, including: (Johanna Amann) - One of the change events got the wrong parameters. - Escape commas in sets and vectors that were unescaped before tokenization. - Handling of zero-length-strings as last element in a set was broken (sets ending with a ,). - Hashing of lines just containing zero-length-strings was broken. - Make set_separators different from , work for input framework. - Input framework was not handling counts and ints out of 32-bit-range correctly. - Errors in single lines do not kill processing, but simply ignore the line, log it, and continue. * Update documentation for builtin types. (Daniel Thayer) - Add missing description of interval "msec" unit. - Improved description of pattern by clarifying the issue of operand order and difference between exact and embedded matching. * Documentation fixes for signature 'eval' conditions. (Jon Siwek) * Remove orphaned 1.5 unit tests. (Jon Siwek) * Add type checking for signature 'eval' condition functions. (Jon Siwek) * Adding an identifier to the SMTP blocklist notices for duplicate suppression. (Seth Hall) 2.1-beta-45 | 2012-08-22 16:11:10 -0700 * Add an option to the input framework that allows the user to chose to not die upon encountering files/functions. (Johanna Amann) 2.1-beta-41 | 2012-08-22 16:05:21 -0700 * Add test serialization to "leak" unit tests that use communication. (Jon Siwek) * Change to metrics/basic-cluster unit test for reliability. (Jon Siwek) * Fixed ack tracking which could overflow quickly in some situations. (Seth Hall) * Minor tweak to coverage.bare-mode-errors unit test to work with a symlinked 'scripts' dir. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-beta-35 | 2012-08-22 08:44:52 -0700 * Add testcase for input framework reading sets (rather than tables). (Johanna Amann) 2.1-beta-31 | 2012-08-21 15:46:05 -0700 * Tweak to rotate-custom.bro unit test. (Jon Siwek) * Ignore small mem leak every rotation interval for dataseries logs. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-beta-28 | 2012-08-21 08:32:42 -0700 * Linking ES docs into logging document. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-beta-27 | 2012-08-20 20:06:20 -0700 * Add the Stream record to Log:active_streams to make more dynamic logging possible. (Seth Hall) * Fix portability of printing to files returned by open("/dev/stderr"). (Jon Siwek) * Fix mime type diff canonifier to also skip mime_desc columns. (Jon Siwek) * Unit test tweaks/fixes. (Jon Siwek) - Some baselines for tests in "leaks" group were outdated. - Changed a few of the cluster/communication tests to terminate more explicitly instead of relying on btest-bg-wait to kill processes. This makes the tests finish faster in the success case and makes the reason for failing clearer in the that case. * Fix memory leak of serialized IDs when compiled with --enable-debug. (Jon Siwek) 2.1-beta-21 | 2012-08-16 11:48:56 -0700 * Installing a handler for running out of memory in "new". Bro will now print an error message in that case rather than abort with an uncaught exception. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-beta-20 | 2012-08-16 11:43:31 -0700 * Fixed potential problems with ElasticSearch output plugin. (Seth Hall) 2.1-beta-13 | 2012-08-10 12:28:04 -0700 * Reporter warnings and error now print to stderr by default. New options Reporter::warnings_to_stderr and Reporter::errors_to_stderr to disable. (Seth Hall) 2.1-beta-9 | 2012-08-10 12:24:29 -0700 * Add more BIF tests. (Daniel Thayer) 2.1-beta-6 | 2012-08-10 12:22:52 -0700 * Fix bug in input framework with an edge case. (Johanna Amann) * Fix small bug in input framework test script. (Johanna Amann) 2.1-beta-3 | 2012-08-03 10:46:49 -0700 * Merge branch 'master' of ssh://git.bro-ids.org/bro (Robin Sommer) * Fix configure script to exit with non-zero status on error (Jon Siwek) * Improve ASCII output performance. (Robin Sommer) 2.1-beta | 2012-07-30 11:59:53 -0700 * Improve log filter compatibility with remote logging. Addresses #842. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-907 | 2012-07-30 09:13:36 -0700 * Add missing breaks to switch cases in ElasticSearch::HTTPReceive(). (Jon Siwek) 2.0-905 | 2012-07-28 16:24:34 -0700 * Fix log manager hanging on waiting for pending file rotations, plus writer API tweak for failed rotations. Addresses #860. (Jon Siwek and Robin Sommer) * Tweaking logs-to-elasticsearch.bro so that it doesn't do anything if ES server is unset. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-902 | 2012-07-27 12:42:13 -0700 * New variable in logging framework Log::active_streams to indicate Log:ID enums which are currently active. (Seth Hall) * Reworked how the logs-to-elasticsearch scripts works to stop abusing the logging framework. (Seth Hall) * Fix input test for recent default change on fastpath. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-898 | 2012-07-27 12:22:03 -0700 * Small (potential performance) improvement for logging framework. (Seth Hall) * Script-level rotation postprocessor fix. This fixes a problem with writers that don't have a postprocessor. (Seth Hall) * Update input framework documentation to reflect want_record change. (Johanna Amann) * Fix crash when encountering an InterpreterException in a predicate in logging or input Framework. (Johanna Amann) * Input framework: Make want_record=T the default for events (Johanna Amann) * Changing the start/end markers in logs to open/close now reflecting wall clock. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-891 | 2012-07-26 17:15:10 -0700 * Reader/writer API: preventing plugins from receiving further messages after a failure. (Robin Sommer) * New test for input framework that fails to find a file. (Robin Sommer) * Improving error handling for threads. (Robin Sommer) * Tweaking the custom-rotate test to produce stable output. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-884 | 2012-07-26 14:33:21 -0700 * Add comprehensive error handling for close() calls. (Jon Siwek) * Add more test cases for input framework. (Johanna Amann) * Input framework: make error output for non-matching event types much more verbose. (Johanna Amann) 2.0-877 | 2012-07-25 17:20:34 -0700 * Fix double close() in FilerSerializer class. (Jon Siwek) * Fix build warnings. (Daniel Thayer) * Fixes to ElasticSearch plugin to make libcurl handle http responses correctly. (Seth Hall) * Fixing FreeBSD compiler error. (Robin Sommer) * Silencing compiler warnings. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-871 | 2012-07-25 13:08:00 -0700 * Fix complaint from valgrind about uninitialized memory usage. (Jon Siwek) * Fix differing log filters of streams from writing to same writer/path (which now produces a warning, but is otherwise skipped for the second). Addresses #842. (Jon Siwek) * Fix tests and error message for to_double BIF. (Daniel Thayer) * Compile fix. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-866 | 2012-07-24 16:02:07 -0700 * Correct a typo in usage message. (Daniel Thayer) * Fix file permissions of log files (which were created with execute permissions after a recent change). (Daniel Thayer) 2.0-862 | 2012-07-24 15:22:52 -0700 * Fix initialization problem in logging class. (Jon Siwek) * Input framework now accepts escaped ASCII values as input (\x##), and unescapes appropiately. (Johanna Amann) * Make reading ASCII logfiles work when the input separator is different from \t. (Johanna Amann) * A number of smaller fixes for input framework. (Johanna Amann) 2.0-851 | 2012-07-24 15:04:14 -0700 * New built-in function to_double(s: string). (Scott Campbell) 2.0-849 | 2012-07-24 11:06:16 -0700 * Adding missing include needed on some systems. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-846 | 2012-07-23 16:36:37 -0700 * Fix WriterBackend::WriterInfo serialization, reenable ascii start/end tags. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-844 | 2012-07-23 16:20:59 -0700 * Reworking parts of the internal threading/logging/input APIs for thread-safety. (Robin Sommer) * Bugfix for SSL version check. (Johanna Amann) * Changing a HTTP DPD from port 3138 to 3128. Addresses #857. (Robin Sommer) * ElasticSearch logging writer. See logging-elasticsearch.rst for more information. (Vlad Grigorescu and Seth Hall). * Give configure a --disable-perftools option to disable Perftools support even if found. (Robin Sommer) * The ASCII log writer now includes "#start " and "#end lines in the each file. (Robin Sommer) * Renamed ASCII logger "header" options to "meta". (Robin Sommer) * ASCII logs now escape '#' at the beginning of log lines. Addresses #763. (Robin Sommer) * Fix bug, where in dns.log rcode always was set to 0/NOERROR when no reply package was seen. (Johanna Amann) * Updating to Mozilla's current certificate bundle. (Seth Hall) 2.0-769 | 2012-07-13 16:17:33 -0700 * Fix some Info:Record field documentation. (Vlad Grigorescu) * Fix overrides of TCP_ApplicationAnalyzer::EndpointEOF. (Jon Siwek) * Fix segfault when incrementing whole vector values. Also removed RefExpr::Eval(Val*) method since it was never called. (Jon Siwek) * Remove baselines for some leak-detecting unit tests. (Jon Siwek) * Unblock SIGFPE, SIGILL, SIGSEGV and SIGBUS for threads, so that they now propagate to the main thread. Adresses #848. (Johanna Amann) 2.0-761 | 2012-07-12 08:14:38 -0700 * Some small fixes to further reduce SOCKS false positive logs. (Seth Hall) * Calls to pthread_mutex_unlock now log the reason for failures. (Johanna Amann) 2.0-757 | 2012-07-11 08:30:19 -0700 * Fixing memory leak. (Seth Hall) 2.0-755 | 2012-07-10 16:25:16 -0700 * Add sorting canonifier to rotate-custom unit test. Addresses #846. (Jon Siwek) * Fix many compiler warnings. (Daniel Thayer) * Fix segfault when there's an error/timeout resolving DNS requests. Addresses #846. (Jon Siwek) * Remove a non-portable test case. (Daniel Thayer) * Fix typos in input framework doc. (Daniel Thayer) * Fix typos in DataSeries documentation. (Daniel Thayer) * Bugfix making custom rotate functions work again. (Robin Sommer) * Tiny bugfix for returning writer name. (Robin Sommer) * Moving make target update-doc-sources from top-level Makefile to btest Makefile. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-733 | 2012-07-02 15:31:24 -0700 * Extending the input reader DoInit() API. (Johanna Amann). It now provides a Info struct similar to what we introduced for log writers, including a corresponding "config" key/value table. * Fix to make writer-info work when debugging is enabled. (Johanna Amann) 2.0-726 | 2012-07-02 15:19:15 -0700 * Extending the log writer DoInit() API. (Robin Sommer) We now pass in a Info struct that contains: - the path name (as before) - the rotation interval - the log_rotate_base_time in seconds - a table of key/value pairs with further configuration options. To fill the table, log filters have a new field "config: table[string] of strings". This gives a way to pass arbitrary values from script-land to writers. Interpretation is left up to the writer. * Split calc_next_rotate() into two functions, one of which is thread-safe and can be used with the log_rotate_base_time value from DoInit(). * Updates to the None writer. (Robin Sommer) - It gets its own script writers/none.bro. - New bool option LogNone::debug to enable debug output. It then prints out all the values passed to DoInit(). - Fixed a bug that prevented Bro from terminating. 2.0-723 | 2012-07-02 15:02:56 -0700 * Extract ICMPv6 NDP options and include in ICMP events. This adds a new parameter of type "icmp6_nd_options" to the ICMPv6 neighbor discovery events. Addresses #833. (Jon Siwek) * Set input frontend type before starting the thread. This means that the thread type will be output correctly in the error message. (Johanna Amann) 2.0-719 | 2012-07-02 14:49:03 -0700 * Fix inconsistencies in random number generation. The srand()/rand() interface was being intermixed with the srandom()/random() one. The later is now used throughout. (Jon Siwek) * Changed the srand() and rand() BIFs to work deterministically if Bro was given a seed file. Addresses #825. (Jon Siwek) * Updating input framework unit tests to make them more reliable and execute quicker. (Jon Siwek) * Fixed race condition in writer and reader initializations. (Jon Siwek) * Small tweak to make test complete quicker. (Jon Siwek) * Drain events before terminating log/thread managers. (Jon Siwek) * Fix strict-aliasing warning in RemoteSerializer.cc. Addresses #834. (Jon Siwek) * Fix typos in event documentation. (Daniel Thayer) * Fix typos in NEWS for Bro 2.1 beta. (Daniel Thayer) 2.0-709 | 2012-06-21 10:14:24 -0700 * Fix exceptions thrown in event handlers preventing others from running. (Jon Siwek) * Add another SOCKS command. (Seth Hall) * Fixed some problems with the SOCKS analyzer and tests. (Seth Hall) * Updating NEWS in preparation for beta. (Robin Sommer) * Accepting different AF_INET6 values for loopback link headers. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-698 | 2012-06-20 14:30:40 -0700 * Updates for the SOCKS analyzer (Seth Hall). - A SOCKS log! - Now supports SOCKSv5 in the analyzer and the DPD sigs. - Added protocol violations. * Updates to the tunnels framework. (Seth Hall) - Make the uid field optional since it's conceptually incorrect for proxies being treated as tunnels to have it. - Reordered two fields in the log. - Reduced the default tunnel expiration interface to something more reasonable (1 hour). * Make Teredo bubble packet parsing more lenient. (Jon Siwek) * Fix a crash in NetSessions::ParseIPPacket(). (Jon Siwek) 2.0-690 | 2012-06-18 16:01:33 -0700 * Support for decapsulating tunnels via the new tunnel framework in base/frameworks/tunnels. Bro currently supports Teredo, AYIYA, IP-in-IP (both IPv4 and IPv6), and SOCKS. For all these, it logs the outher tunnel connections in both conn.log and tunnel.log, and proceeds to analyze the inner payload as if it were not tunneled, including also logging it in conn.log (with a new tunnel_parents column pointing back to the outer connection(s)). (Jon Siwek, Seth Hall, Gregor Maier) * The options "tunnel_port" and "parse_udp_tunnels" have been removed. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-623 | 2012-06-15 16:24:52 -0700 * Changing an error in the input framework to a warning. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-622 | 2012-06-15 15:38:43 -0700 * Input framework updates. (Johanna Amann) - Disable streaming reads from executed commands. This lead to hanging Bros because pclose apparently can wait for eternity if things go wrong. - Automatically delete disabled input streams. - Documentation. 2.0-614 | 2012-06-15 15:19:49 -0700 * Remove an old, unused diff canonifier. (Jon Siwek) * Improve an error message in ICMP analyzer. (Jon Siwek) * Fix a warning message when building docs. (Daniel Thayer) * Fix many errors in the event documentation. (Daniel Thayer) 2.0-608 | 2012-06-11 15:59:00 -0700 * Add more error handling code to logging of enum vals. Addresses #829. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-606 | 2012-06-11 15:55:56 -0700 * Fix summary lines for BIF documentation and corrected the description of "fmt" and "floor" BIFs. (Daniel Thayer) * Fix val_size BIF tests and improve docs. (Daniel Thayer) 2.0-602 | 2012-06-07 15:06:19 -0700 * Include header for usleep(), caused compile failure on Archlinux. (Jon Siwek) * Revert "Fixed a bug with the MIME analyzer not removing whitespace on wrapped headers." Needs discussion. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-598 | 2012-06-06 11:47:00 -0700 * Add @load-sigs directive for loading signature files (addresses #551). This can be used to load signatures relative to the current scripts (e.g., "@load-sigs ./foo.sig"). (Jon Siwek) 2.0-596 | 2012-06-06 11:41:00 -0700 * Fixes for some BiFs and their documentation. (Daniel Thayer) * Many new unit tests for BiFs. (Daniel Thayer) 2.0-579 | 2012-06-06 11:04:46 -0700 * Memory leak fixes for bad usages of VectorVal ctor. (Jon Siwek) * Fixed a bug with the MIME analyzer not removing whitespace on wrapped headers. (Seth Hall) * Change Input::update_finished lookup to happen at init time. (Jon Siwek) * Fix going through the internal_handler() function which will now set the event as "used" (i.e. it's marked as being raised somewhere). Addresses #823. (Jon Siwek) * Fix format specifier on RemoteSerializer::Connect. This caused 32-bit systems to show a warning at compile-time, and fail when connecting to peers. (Jon Siwek) * Fixes for running tests in parallel. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-571 | 2012-05-30 19:12:43 -0700 * Updating submodule(s). 2.0-570 | 2012-05-30 19:08:18 -0700 * A new input framework enables scripts to read in external data dynamically on the fly as Bro is processing network traffic. (Johanna Amann) Currently, the framework supports reading ASCII input that's structured similar as Bro's log files as well as raw blobs of data. Other formats will come in the future. See doc/input.rst for more information (this will be extended further soon). 2.0-395 | 2012-05-30 17:03:31 -0700 * Remove unnecessary assert in ICMP analyzer which could lead to aborts. Addresses #822. * Improve script debugger backtrace and print commands. (Jon Siwek) * Switching default DS compression to gzip. (Robin Sommer) * Improve availability of IPv6 flow label in connection records. This adds a "flow_label" field to the "endpoint" record type, which is used for both the "orig" and "resp" fields of "connection" records. The new "connection_flow_label_changed" event also allows tracking of changes in flow labels: it's raised each time one direction of the connection starts using a different label. (Jon Siwek) * Add unit tests for Broccoli SSL and Broccoli IPv6 connectivity. (Jon Siwek) * Remove AI_ADDRCONFIG getaddrinfo hints flag for listening sockets. (Jon Siwek) * Undo unnecessary communication protocol version bump. (Jon Siwek) * Add support to Bro for connecting with peers over IPv6. (Jon Siwek) - Communication::listen_ipv6 needs to be redef'd to true in order for IPv6 listening sockets to be opened. - Added Communication::listen_retry option as an interval at which to retry binding to socket addresses that were already in use. - Added some explicit baselines to check in the istate.events and istate.events-ssl tests -- the SSL test was incorrectly passing because it compared two empty files. (The files being empty because "http/base" was given as an argument to Bro which it couldn't handle because that script doesn't exist anymore). - Support for communication over non-global IPv6 addresses. This usually requires specifying an additional zone identifier (see RFC 4007). The connect() and listen() BIFs have been changed to accept this zone identifier as an argument. 2.0-377 | 2012-05-24 16:46:06 -0700 * Documentation fixes. (Jon Siwek and Daniel Thayer) 2.0-372 | 2012-05-17 13:59:45 -0700 * Fix compile errors. (Jon Siwek) * Linking in the DS docs. (Robin Sommer) * Fix mobility checksums unit test. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-367 | 2012-05-17 12:42:30 -0700 * Adding support for binary output via DataSeries. See logging-dataseries.rst for more information. (Gilbert Clark and Robin Sommer) * Adding target update-doc-sources to top-level Makefile that runs genDocSourcesList.sh. (Robin Sommer) * Moving trace for rotation test into traces directory. (Robin Sommer) * Fixing a rotation race condition at termination. (Robin Sommer) * Extending log post-processor call to include the name of the writer. (Robin Sommer) * In threads, an internal error now immediately aborts. Otherwise, the error won't make it back to the main thread for a while and subsequent code in the thread would still execute. (Robin Sommer) * DataSeries cleanup. (Robin Sommer) * Fixing threads' DoFinish() method. It wasn't called reliably. Now, it's always called before the thread is destroyed (assuming processing has went normally so far). (Robin Sommer) 2.0-341 | 2012-05-17 09:54:30 -0700 * Add a comment to explain the ICMPv6 error message types. (Daniel Thayer) * Quieting external test output somehwat. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-336 | 2012-05-14 17:15:44 -0700 * Don't print the various "weird" events to stderr. Address #805. (Daniel Thayer) * Generate icmp_error_message event for ICMPv6 error msgs. Previously, icmp_sent was being generated, but icmp_error_message contains more info. * Improved documentation comments for icmp-related events. (Daniel Thayer) 2.0-330 | 2012-05-14 17:05:56 -0700 * Add `addr_to_uri` script-level function that adds brackets to an address if it's IPv6 and will be included in a URI or when a ":" needs to be appended to it. (Jon Siwek) * Also add a test case for content extraction. (Jon Siwek) * Fix typos and improve INSTALL document. (Daniel Thayer) * Switching to new btest command TEST-SERIALIZE for communication tests. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-323 | 2012-05-04 21:04:34 -0700 * Add SHA1 and SHA256 hashing BIFs. Addresses #542. * Refactor all internal MD5 stuff to use OpenSSL's. (Jon Siwek) * Changes to open-file caching limits and uncached file unserialization. (Jon Siwek) - Unserializing files that were previously kicked out of the open-file cache would cause them to be fopen'd with the original access permissions which is usually 'w' and causes truncation. They are now opened in 'a' mode. (addresses #780) - Add 'max_files_in_cache' script option to manually set the maximum amount of opened files to keep cached. Mainly this just helped to create a simple test case for the above change. - Remove unused NO_HAVE_SETRLIMIT preprocessor switch. - On systems that don't enforce a limit on number of files opened for the process, raise default max size of open-file cache from 32 to 512. 2.0-319 | 2012-05-03 13:24:44 -0700 * SSL bugfixes and cleanup. (Seth Hall) - SSL related files and classes renamed to remove the "binpac" term. - A small fix for DPD scripts to make the DPD log more helpful if there are multiple continued failures. - Fixed the SSL analyzer to make it stop doing repeated violation messages for some handshake failures. - Added a $issuer_subject to the SSL log. - Created a basic test for SSL. - Fixed parsing of TLS server extensions. (Seth Hall) 2.0-315 | 2012-05-03 11:44:17 -0700 * Add two more TLS extension values that we see in live traffic. (Johanna Amann) * Fixed IPv6 link local unicast CIDR and added IPv6 loopback to private address space. (Seth Hall) * Fixed a problem where cluster workers were still processing notices in some cases. (Seth Hall) * Added a configure option to specify the 'etc' directory. Addresses #801. (Daniel Thayer) 2.0-306 | 2012-04-24 14:37:00 -0700 * Add further TLS extension values "extended_random" and "heartbeat". (Seth Hall) * Fix problem with extracting FTP passwords and add "ftpuser" as another anonymous username. (Seth Hall, discovered by Patrik Lundin). 2.0-303 | 2012-04-19 10:01:06 -0700 * Changes related to ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery messages. (Jon Siwek) - The 'icmp_conn' record now contains an 'hlim' field since hop limit in the IP header is an interesting field for at least these ND messages. - Fixed and extended 'icmp_router_advertisement' event parameters. - Changed 'icmp_neighbor_advertisement' event parameters to add more of the known boolean flags. 2.0-301 | 2012-04-17 17:58:55 -0700 * Bro now support ICMPv6. (Matti Mantere, Jon Siwek, Robin Sommer, Daniel Thayer). Overall, Bro now raises the following ICMP events for v4 and v6 as appropiate: event icmp_sent(c: connection, icmp: icmp_conn); event icmp_echo_request(c: connection, icmp: icmp_conn, id: count, seq: count, payload: string); event icmp_echo_reply(c: connection, icmp: icmp_conn, id: count, seq: count, payload: string); event icmp_error_message(c: connection, icmp: icmp_conn, code: count, context: icmp_context); event icmp_unreachable(c: connection, icmp: icmp_conn, code: count, context: icmp_context); event icmp_packet_too_big(c: connection, icmp: icmp_conn, code: count, context: icmp_context); event icmp_time_exceeded(c: connection, icmp: icmp_conn, code: count, context: icmp_context); event icmp_parameter_problem(c: connection, icmp: icmp_conn, code: count, context: icmp_context); event icmp_router_solicitation(c: connection, icmp: icmp_conn); event icmp_router_advertisement(c: connection, icmp: icmp_conn, hop_limit: count, managed: bool, router_lifetime: count, reachable_time: interval, retrans_timer: interval); event icmp_neighbor_solicitation(c: connection, icmp: icmp_conn, tgt:addr); event icmp_neighbor_advertisement(c: connection, icmp: icmp_conn, tgt:addr); event icmp_redirect(c: connection, icmp: icmp_conn, tgt: addr, dest: addr); The `icmp_conn` record got a new boolean field 'v6' that indicates whether the ICMP message is v4 or v6. This change also includes further low-level work on existing IP and ICMP code, including a reorganization of how ICMPv4 is handled. 2.0-281 | 2012-04-17 17:40:39 -0700 * Small updates for the bittorrent analyzer to support 64bit types in binpac. (Seth Hall) * Removed the attempt at bittorrent resynchronization. (Seth Hall) 2.0-276 | 2012-04-17 17:35:56 -0700 * Add more support for 's that lack some structure definitions. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-273 | 2012-04-16 18:08:56 -0700 * Removing QR flag from DNS log in response, which should not have been there in the first place. (Seth Hall) * Sync up patricia.c/h with pysubnettree repo. (Daniel Thayer) * Adding missing leak groups to a couple tests. Also activating leak checking for proxy in basic-cluster test. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-267 | 2012-04-09 17:47:28 -0700 * Add support for mobile IPv6 Mobility Header (RFC 6275). (Jon Siwek) - Enabled through a new --enable-mobile-ipv6 configure-time option. If not enabled, the mobility header (routing type 2) and Home Address Destination option are ignored. - Accessible at script-layer through 'mobile_ipv6_message' event. * Refactor IP_Hdr routing header handling, add MobileIPv6 Home Address handling. Packets that use the Home Address Destination option use that option's address as the connection's originator. (Jon Siwek) * Revert TCP checksumming to cache common data, like it did before. (Jon Siwek) * Improve handling of IPv6 routing type 0 extension headers. (Jon Siwek) - flow_weird event with name argument value of "routing0_hdr" is raised for packets containing an IPv6 routing type 0 header because this type of header is now deprecated according to RFC 5095. - Packets with a routing type 0 header and non-zero segments left now use the last address in that header in order to associate with a connection/flow and for calculating TCP/UDP checksums. - Added a set of IPv4/IPv6 TCP/UDP checksum unit tests (Jon Siwek) * Fix table expiry for values assigned in bro_init() when reading live. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-257 | 2012-04-05 15:32:43 -0700 * Fix CMake from warning about unused ENABLE_PERFTOOLS_DEBUG variable. (Jon Siwek) * Fix handling of IPv6 atomic fragments. (Jon Siwek) * Fix that prevents Bro processes that do neither local logging nor request remote logs from spawning threads. (Robin Sommer) * Fixing perftools-debug support. (Robin Sommer) * Reverting SocketComm change tuning I/O behaviour. (Robin Sommer) * Adding notice_policy.log canonification for external tests. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-245 | 2012-04-04 17:25:20 -0700 * Internal restructuring of the logging framework: we now spawn threads doing the I/O. From a user's perspective not much should change, except that the OS may now show a bunch of Bro threads. (Gilbert Clark and Robin Sommer). * When building Bro, we now always link in tcmalloc if it's found at configure time. If it's installed but not picked up, --with-perftools may help. (Robin Sommer) * Renaming the configure option --enable-perftools to --enable-perftool-debug to indicate that the switch is only relevant for debugging the heap. It's not needed to pick up tcmalloc for better performance. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-184 | 2012-03-28 15:11:11 -0700 * Improve handling of IPv6 Routing Type 0 headers. (Jon Siwek) - For RH0 headers with non-zero segments left, a "routing0_segleft" flow_weird event is raised (with a destination indicating the last address in the routing header), and an "rh0_segleft" event can also be handled if the other contents of the packet header are of interest. No further analysis is done as the complexity required to correctly identify destination endpoints of connections doesn't seem worth it as RH0 has been deprecated by RFC 5095. - For RH0 headers without any segments left, a "routing0_header" flow_weird event is raised, but further analysis still occurs as normal. 2.0-182 | 2012-03-28 15:01:57 -0700 * Remove dead tcp_checksum function from net_util. (Jon Siwek) * Change routing0_data_to_addrs BIF to return vector of addresses. The order of addresses in type 0 routing headers is interesting/important. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-179 | 2012-03-23 17:43:31 -0700 * Remove the default "tcp or udp or icmp" filter. In default mode, Bro would load the packet filter script framework which installs a filter that allows all packets, but in bare mode (the -b option), this old filter would not follow IPv6 protocol chains and thus filter out packets with extension headers. (Jon Siwek) * Update PacketFilter/Discarder code for IP version independence. (Jon Siwek) * Fix some IPv6 header related bugs. (Jon Siwek) * Add IPv6 fragment reassembly. (Jon Siwek) * Add handling for IPv6 extension header chains. Addresses #531. (Jon Siwek) - The script-layer 'pkt_hdr' type is extended with a new 'ip6' field representing the full IPv6 header chain. - The 'new_packet' event is now raised for IPv6 packets. Addresses #523. - A new event called 'ipv6_ext_header' is raised for any IPv6 packet containing extension headers. - A new event called 'esp_packet' is raised for any packets using ESP ('new_packet' and 'ipv6_ext_header' events provide connection info, but that info can't be provided here since the upper-layer payload is encrypted). - The 'unknown_protocol' weird is now raised more reliably when Bro sees a transport protocol or IPv6 extension header it can't handle. Addresses #522. * Add unit tests for IPv6 fragment reassembly, ipv6_ext_headers and esp_packet events. (Jon Siwek) * Adapt FreeBSD's inet_ntop implementation for internal use. Now we get consistent text representations of IPv6 addresses across platforms. (Jon Siwek) * Update documentation for new syntax of IPv6 literals. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-150 | 2012-03-13 16:16:22 -0700 * Changing the regular expression to allow Site::local_nets in signatures. (Julien Sentier) * Removing a line of dead code. Found by . Closes #786. (Julien Sentier) 2.0-146 | 2012-03-13 15:39:38 -0700 * Change IPv6 literal constant syntax to require encasing square brackets. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-145 | 2012-03-09 15:10:35 -0800 * Remove the match expression. 'match' and 'using' are no longer keywords. Addressed #753. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-143 | 2012-03-09 15:07:42 -0800 * Fix a BRO_PROFILER_FILE/mkstemp portability issue. Addresses #794. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-139 | 2012-03-02 09:33:04 -0800 * Changes to how script coverage integrates with test suites. (Jon Siwek) - BRO_PROFILER_FILE now passes .X* templated filenames to mkstemp for generating unique coverage state files. - Rearranging Makefile targets. The general rule is that if the all/brief target fails out due to a test failure, then the dependent coverage target won't run, but can still be invoked directly later. (e.g. make brief || make coverage) * Standardized on the &default function for SSL constants. (Seth Hall) * Adding btest group "leaks" to leak tests. (Robin Sommer) * Adding btest group "comm" to communication tests for parallelizing execution with new btest version. (Robin Sommer) * Sorting all output for diffing in the external tests. (Robin Sommer) * Cleaned up dead code from the old SSL analyzers. Reported by Julien Sentier. (Seth Hall) * Update/add tests for broccoli IPv6 addr/subnet support. Addresses #448. (Jon Siwek) * Remove connection compressor. Addresses #559. (Jon Siwek) * Refactor IP_Hdr class ctors. Addresses #532. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-121 | 2012-02-24 16:34:17 -0800 * A number of smaller memory fixes and code cleanups. (Julien Sentier) * Add to_subnet bif. Fixes #782). (Jon Siwek) * Fix IPAddr::Mask/ReverseMask not allowing argument of 0. (Jon Siwek) * Refactor IPAddr v4 initialization from string. Fixes #775. (Jon Siwek) * Parse the dotted address string directly instead of canonicalizing and passing to inet_pton. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-108 | 2012-02-24 15:21:07 -0800 * Refactoring a number of usages of new IPAddr class. (Jon Siwek) * Fixed a bug in remask_addr bif. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-106 | 2012-02-24 15:02:20 -0800 * Raise minimum required CMake version to 2.6.3. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-104 | 2012-02-24 14:59:12 -0800 * Add test case for FTP over IPv4. (Daniel Thayer) * Fix IPv6 URLs in ftp.log. (Daniel Thayer) * Add a test for FTP over IPv6 (Daniel Thayer) * Fix parsing of FTP EPRT command and EPSV response. (Daniel Thayer) 2.0-95 | 2012-02-22 05:27:34 -0800 * GeoIP installation documentation update. (Seth Hall) * Decrease strictness of parsing IPv4 strings into addrs. Fixes #775. (Jon Siwek) * Fix memory leak in DNS manager. Fixes #777. (Jon Siwek) * Fix IPAddr/IPPrefix serialization bugs. (Jon Siwek) * Fix compile error. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-86 | 2012-02-17 15:41:06 -0800 * Changing ARP detection to always kick in even if no analyzer is activated. (Robin Sommer) * DNS name lookups performed by Bro now also query AAAA records. DNS_Mgr handles combining the results of the A and AAAA queries for a given hostname such that at the scripting layer, the name resolution can yield a set with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. (Jon Siwek) * Add counts_to_addr and addr_to_counts conversion BIFs. (Jon Siwek) * Change HashKey threshold for using H3 to 36 bytes. (Jon Siwek) * Remove mention of --enable-brov6 in docs. (Daniel Thayer) * Remove --enable-brov6 from configure usage text (Daniel Thayer) * Add a test and baseline for addr_to_ptr_name BiF. (Daniel Thayer) * Adding a test and baseline for ptr_name_to_addr BiF. (Seth Hall) * Fix the ptr_name_to_addr BiF to work with IPv6 (Daniel Thayer) * Fix a memory leak that perftools now complains about. (Jon Siwek) * Remove --enable-brov6 flag, IPv6 now supported by default. (Jon Siwek) Some script-layer changes of note: - dns_AAAA_reply event signature changed: the string representation of an IPv6 addr is easily derived from the addr value, it doesn't need to be another parameter. This event also now generated directly by the DNS analyzer instead of being "faked" into a dns_A_reply event. - Removed addr_to_count BIF. It used to return the host-order count representation of IPv4 addresses only. To make it more generic, we might later add a BIF to return a vector of counts in order to support IPv6. - Changed the result of enclosing addr variables in vertical pipes (e.g. |my_addr|) to return the bit-width of the address type which is 128 for IPv6 and 32 for IPv4. It used to function the same way as addr_to_count mentioned above. - Remove bro_has_ipv6 BIF 2.0-57 | 2012-02-10 00:02:35 -0800 * Fix typos in the documentation. (Daniel Thayer) * Fix compiler warning about Brofiler ctor init list order. (Jon Siwek) * Fix missing optional field access in webapp signature_match handler. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-41 | 2012-02-03 04:10:53 -0500 * Updates to the Software framework to simplify the API. (Johanna Amann) 2.0-40 | 2012-02-03 01:55:27 -0800 * Fix typos in documentation. (Daniel Thayer) * Fix sorting of lines in Brofiler coverage.log. (Daniel Thayer) 2.0-38 | 2012-01-31 11:50:53 -0800 * Canonify sorting of lines in Brofiler coverage.log. (Daniel Thayer) 2.0-36 | 2012-01-27 10:38:14 -0800 * New "Brofiler" mode that tracks and records script statements executed during runtime. (Jon Siwek) Use the BROFILER_FILE environment variable to point to a file in which statement usage statistics from Bro script-layer can be output. Script statements that should be ignored can be marked with a "# @no-test" comment. For example: print "don't cover"; # @no-test if ( F ) { # @no-test ... } * Integrated coverage measurement into test-suite. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-20 | 2012-01-25 16:34:51 -0800 * BiF cleanup (Matthias Vallentin) - Rename NFS3::mode2string to a more generic file_mode(). - Unify do_profiling()/make_connection_persistent()/expect_connection() to return any (i.e., nothing) instead of bools. - Perform type checking on count-to-port conversion. Related to #684. - Remove redundant connection_record() BiF. The same functionality is provided by lookup_connection(). - Remove redundant active_connection() BiF. The same functionality is provided by connection_exists(). - exit() now takes the exit code as argument. - to_port() now received a string instead of a count. 2.0-9 | 2012-01-25 13:47:13 -0800 * Allow local table variables to be initialized with {} list expressions. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-7 | 2012-01-25 13:38:09 -0800 * Teach CompHash to allow indexing by records with vector/table/set fields. Addresses #464. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-5 | 2012-01-25 13:25:19 -0800 * Fixed a bug resulting in over-logging of detected webapps. (Seth Hall) * Make communication log baseline test more reliable. (Jon Siwek) * Fixed some broken links in documentation. (Daniel Thayer) 2.0 | 2012-01-11 13:52:22 -0800 * Adding script reference documentation. (The Team). 2.0-beta-194 | 2012-01-10 10:44:32 -0800 * Added an option for filtering out URLs before they are turned into HTTP::Incorrect_File_Type notices. (Seth Hall) * Fix ref counting bug in BIFs that call internal_type. Addresses #740. (Jon Siwek) * Adding back the stats.bro file. (Seth Hall) 2.0-beta-188 | 2012-01-10 09:49:29 -0800 * Change SFTP/SCP log rotators to use 4-digit year in filenames Fixes #745. (Jon Siwek) * Adding back the stats.bro file. Addresses #656. (Seth Hall) 2.0-beta-185 | 2012-01-09 18:00:50 -0800 * Tweaks for OpenBSD support. (Jon Siwek) 2.0-beta-181 | 2012-01-08 20:49:04 -0800 * Add SFTP log postprocessor that transfers logs to remote hosts. Addresses #737. (Jon Siwek) * Add FAQ entry about disabling NIC offloading features. (Jon Siwek) * Add a file NEWS with release notes. (Robin Sommer) 2.0-beta-177 | 2012-01-05 15:01:07 -0800 * Replace the --snaplen/-l command line option with a scripting-layer option called "snaplen" (which can also be redefined on the command line, e.g. `bro -i eth0 snaplen=65535`). * Reduce snaplen default from 65535 to old default of 8192.

Addresses #488. (Jon Siwek) * Change logging of HTTP 1xx responses to occur in their own columns. Addresses #411. (Jon Siwek) * Fix handling of HTTP 1xx response codes. Addresses #411). * Taking advantage of yet another trick to get installed browser plugins. (Seth Hall) - With the software-browser-plugins script you can watch for Omniture advertising servers to grab the list of installed plugins. - I reorganized the plugin detection a bit too to abstract it better. - Removed the WEB_ prefix from all of the Software::Type HTTP enums. They were essentially redundant due to the full name already being HTTP::SERVER (for example). 1.6-dev-1316 | 2011-09-28 16:50:05 -0700 * Unit test cleanup. Updated README and collected coverage-related tests in a common dir. (Jon Siwek) * Fixes for known-services. (Seth Hall) * Ported and 2.0ized the capture-loss script.

Closes #574. (Robin Sommer) * Fix a small bug in the metrics framework. (Seth Hall) * Temporarily removing scripts that aren't ready to be included. Will return before next release. (Seth Hall) * New SSL policy scripts. (Seth Hall) - 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. * Notice::type_suppression_intervals: table[Notice::Type] of interval can be used to modify the suppression intervals for entire types of notices. (Seth Hall) * EOF SSL protocol violations are only generated a single time now. (Seth Hall) * Script level fixes. (Seth Hall) - Fixed a type name conflict in the Known namespace. - Fixed a DPD framework bug that was causing Reporter messages. - Fixed the notice_policy log. - Predicate functions are now logged. - Predicate functions are now optional. If not given, it's assumed that the result should always apply. (Seth Hall) - Fix a problem with accidental and mistaken HTTP log lines. 1.6-dev-1293 | 2011-09-22 19:44:37 -0700 * Smaller script tweaks. (Seth Hall) * Duplicate notice suppression. (Seth Hall) - Duplicate notices are discovered with the new Notice::Info field $identifier. It's a string that is left up to the notice implementor to define which would indicate a fundamentally duplicate notice. The field is optional and if it's not included it's not possible for notice suppression to take place. - Duplicate notices are suppressed by default for the interval defined by the Notice::default_suppression_interval variable (1 hour by default). - A new notice action was defined ACTION_NO_SUPPRESS to prevent suppression for a specific notice instance. A convenience set named not_suppressed_types was also created to not suppress entire notice types. - A new field was added to the PolicyItem type to modify the length of time a notice should be suppressed if the predicate matches. The field is named $suppress_for. This name makes the code more readable like this: $suppress_for = 1day - New events were created to give visibility into the notice framework's suppression activity. - event Notice::begin_suppression(n: Notice::Info) - event Notice::suppressed(n: Notice::Info) - event Notice::end_suppression(n: Notice::Info) - The suppression.bro script doesn't have a baseline because it is causing a segfault in Bro. This one test is the reason that this is being integrated into a branch instead of master. (Seth Hall) * Fix crash on exit. Addresses #607. (Jon Siwek) * Fix PktSrc setting next_timestamp even when no packet available. (Jon Siwek) * Fix lack of NUL-termination in to_upper/to_lower BIF's return val. (Jon Siwek) * Fixing unit tests and some minor bugs. (Jon Siwek) * Fix broctl cluster log rotation. Addresses #619. (Jon Siwek) * Added session ID to the SSL logging. (Seth Hall) * Adding "install-aux" target + updating bro-aux submodule. (Jon Siwek) * Cleaning up INSTALL and README. (Jon Siwek) * Remove $Id$ tags. (Jon Siwek) * Remove policy.old directory. Addresses #511. (Jon Siwek) * Small rework with ssl base script to reduce memory usage. (Seth Hall) * Updated the mozilla root certs.

(Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev-1241 | 2011-09-14 22:51:52 -0400 * Fixing a major memory utilization issues with SSL analysis. (Seth Hall) * Enhancements to HTTP analysis: (Seth Hall) - More options for the header-names.bro script. - New script for logging header names and values. Closes #519. (Seth Hall) - HTTP body size measurement added to http.log. - The value of the content-length headers has now been removed in the default output but it could be added back locally at an installation by a user. - Added fields to indicate if some parsing interruption happened during the body transfer. Closes #581 (Seth Hall) * Misc smaller usability and correctness updates: (Seth Hall) - Removed an notice definition from the base SSL scripts. - Moved a logging stream ID into the export section for known-services and bumped priority for creating the stream. - Adding configuration knobs for the SQL injection attack detection script and renaming the HTTP::SQL_Injection_Attack notice to HTTP::SQL_Injection_Attack_Against - Bumped priority when creating Known::CERTS_LOG. - Fixing a warning from the cluster framework. (Seth Hall) * Bugfix for log writer, which didn't escape binary stuff in some situations. Closes #585. (Robin Sommer) * A larget set of changes to the testing/external infrastructure. The traces for external test-suites are no longer kept inside the repositories themselves but downloaded separately via curl. This is because git is pretty bad at dealing with large files. See the README for more information. (Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev-1221 | 2011-09-08 08:41:17 -0700 * Updates for documentation framework and script docs. (Jon Siwek) * The script level PF_RING support isn't working so removing it. (Seth Hall) * Delete SSL certificates from memory after ssl_established event. (Seth Hall) * Small fixes for SSL analysis. (Seth Hall) 1.6-dev-1212 | 2011-09-07 16:15:28 -0700 * Internally, the UID generation can now return values from different pool for better reproducability in testing mode.

(Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev-1058 | 2011-08-08 16:15:18 -0700 * Reorganisation of the scripts that Bro loads by default. (Seth Hall) - policy/ renamed to scripts/ - By default BROPATH now contains: - scripts/ - scripts/policy - scripts/site - The scripts in scripts/base/protocols/ only do logging and state building. - All of scripts/base/ is loaded by by default. This can however be disabled by switching Bro into "bare mode" using the new command-line option --bare-mode (or -b). The cripts in scripts/base/ don't use relative path loading to ease use of bare mode (to copy and paste that script). - The scripts in scripts/base/frameworks/ add functionality without causing any additional overhead. - All "detection" activity happens through scripts in scripts/policy/. - bro.init was renamed to base/init-bare.bro, and base/all.bro was renamed to init-default.bro. - local.bro now loads more functionality from policy/ and adds more documentation. (Seth Hall) * Adding default_path_func() to the logging framework that makes the default naming scheme script-level controlled. (Robin Sommer) * Reworking logging's postprocessor logic so that postprocessor commands are no longer run by the log writers themselves, but instead by a script level function. (Robin Sommer) * The communication subsystem is now by default off and must be enabled explicitly with a new BiF, enable_communication(). Closes #540. (Robin Sommer) * The hostname notice email extension now only add hostnames for emailed noticed. (Seth Hall) * Cleaning up doc generation. (Seth Hall) 1.6-dev-1044 | 2011-08-05 19:07:32 -0700 * Fixing memory (and CPU) leak in log writer. * Fixing crash in memory profiling. (Robin Sommer) * Fix compiler warning. (Robin Sommer) * Fixing missing sync in cluster setup. (Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev-1038 | 2011-08-05 18:25:44 -0700 * Smaller updates to script docs and their generation. (Jon Siwek) * When using a `print` statement to write to a file that has raw output enabled, NUL characters in string are no longer interpreted into "\0", no newline is appended afterwards, and each argument to `print` is written to the file without any additional separation. (Jon Siwek) * Test portatibility tweaks. (Jon Siwek) * Fixing PktSrc::Statistics() which retured bogus information offline mode. Closes #500. (Jon Siwek) * --with-perftools configure option now assumes --enable-perftools. Closes #527. (Jon Siwek) 1.6-dev-1018 | 2011-07-31 21:30:31 -0700 * Updating CHANGES. (Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev-1016 | 2011-07-30 18:34:28 -0700 * Install example config files dynamically. They'll only get installed when the distribution version differs from existing version on disk. (Jon Siwek) * Fixed memory leak in SSL analyzer. (Seth Hall) * Beginning rework of metrics interface. (Seth Hall) * New/updated unit tests for scripts. (Jon Siwek) * New/updated documentstion for scripts. (Jon Siwek) * A number of fixes for scripts in utils/. (Jon Siwek) 1.6-dev.244 Thu Jul 28 17:08:21 PDT 2011 - mask_addr() now returns subnet (addresses #512). (Jon Siwek) - Normalize Notice::Type identifiers per convention (closes #484). (Jon Siwek) - Fixing default-loaded-scripts test for BSD systems. (Jon Siwek) - New piped_exec() BiF for pipeing data into an external command. (Jon Siwek) 1.6-dev.242 Mon Jul 25 21:42:39 PDT 2011 - Adding a documentation coverage test. (Jon Siwek) - The CMake targets for generating reST docs from policy scripts are now automatically generated via the genDocSourcesList.sh script. (Jon Siwek) - Fixed a number of script error. (Jon Siwek) - Fixes to relative @load'ing. (Jon Siwek) - Fixes to tests. (Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev.240 Sun Jul 24 15:14:26 PDT 2011 - Updated tests and test baselines. (Jon Siwek) - ASCII log writer now prints time values w/ constant 6 digit precision. (Jon Siwek) - Many policy script updates acrsso the board (Seth Hall). - Moving devel-tools to bro-aux. (Robin Sommer) - BugFix for disable_analyzer(), which could cause crashes with some analyzers. (Robin Sommer) - Bugfix for potential segfault in DebugLogger. (Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev.226 Thu Jul 21 15:23:39 PDT 2011 - Extensions to the @load and @unload process. (Jon Siwek) * Make @load statements recognize relative paths. For example a script can do "@load ./foo" to load a script named foo.bro that lives in the same directory or "@load ../bar" to load a script named bar.bro in the parent directory, even if those directories are not contained in BROPATH. * Reimplementation of the @prefixes statement. (Closes #486) Any added prefixes are now used *after* all input files have been parsed to look for a prefixed, flattened version of the input file somewhere in BROPATH and, if found, load it. For example, if "lcl" is in @prefixes, and site.bro is loaded, then a file named "lcl.site.bro" that's in BROPATH would end up being automatically loaded as well. Packages work similarly, e.g. loading "protocols/http" means a file named "lcl.protocols.http.bro" in BROPATH gets loaded automatically. * Fix @unload'd files from generating bro_script_loaded event. * Updates to tests. 1.6-dev.225 Wed Jul 20 17:10:41 PDT 2011 - IRC improvements (Jon Siwek). Including: * Shorten what's displayed in the IRC's log mime_type column for DCC transfers. * Add IRC unit tests. * Fix IRC analyzer supplying wrong type to irc_dcc_message event. * Removed irc_client and irc_server events. * Added is_orig arguments to all other irc events. * Fix analyzer not recognizing Turbo DCC extension message format. * Fix analyzer not generating irc_dcc_message event when irc_privmsg_message event doesn't have a handler registered. - Fixing tests that need a diff canonifier. (Jon Siwek) 1.6-dev.223 Tue Jul 19 19:10:36 PDT 2011 - Adding a script to update CHANGES and VERSION. (Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev.218 Tue Jul 19 18:16:44 PDT 2011 - Comprehensive policy script overhaul/rewrite. (Seth Hall) Changes are too extensive to list individually. - Removing undocumented -H command line flag. (Robin Sommer) - Fixing many tests. (Everybody) - Fixing 0-chunk bug in remote logging. (Robin Sommer) - $PATH is now appropriately set by the bro-path-dev.(sh|csh) scripts. (Seth Hall) - Making valgrind a bit more happy. (Robin Sommer) - New BiF record_field_vals() that returns the fields of a record in a table with meta-information. (Robin Sommer) - Adding a script in aux/devel-tools that extracts a connection from a trace based on uid. (Robin Sommer) - Fixing bug causing crash when running without arguments. (Robin Sommer) - A new event bro_script_loaded() raised for each policy script loaded. Also removing the -l command-line option as that can now be done at the script-level. (Robin Sommer) - Fixing memory leaks. (Gilbert Clark, Seth Hall, Robin Sommer) - Many SSL analysis improvements and fixes. (Seth Hall) - Fixing bug with event priorities potentially being ignored for the handler. (Robin Sommer) - Overhauling the internal reporting of messages to the user. The new Reporter class is now in charge of reporting all errors, warnings, informational messages, weirds, and syslogs; and it passes everything through the script layer. (Robin Sommer) * Removed the alarm statement and the alarm_hook event. (Robin Sommer) - Adding new policy file test-all.bro that loads all other policies. This is for testing only. (Robin Sommer) - A new framework for doing regression testing with larger traces and more complex Bro configurations in testing/external. (Robin Sommer) - Many updates to script doc generation. (Jon Siwek) 1.6-dev.146 Sat Jun 25 18:12:27 PDT 2011 - DNS mapping are now becoming invalid when an entry's TTL expires. (Thomas Other) - Reworking how Bro tracks which scripts are already loaded. Rather than paths, Bro now tracks inode numbers. (Jon Siwek) - New BiF netstats() to query packet capture statistics. The netstats script now uses the new BiF to periocally report packets drops. The net_stats_update() event and the heartbeat_interval global went away. (Seth Hall) - Fixing bug with logging &optional records. Closes #476. (Robin Sommer) - Fixing istate.events-ssl test failing because of expired cert. (Jon Siwek) - A large number of improvements and fixes for Bro's doc mode. (Jon Siwek) - Significant updates for RPC and NFS analyzers (Gregor Maier) * Unify semantics for UDP and TCP connections. * RPC can now log to a log file if desired. * Portmapper can now log general activity to a log file and also log actual port mappings. * NFS analyzer now supports significantly more procedure calls as as file name tracking and file content extraction. - NetBIOS fixes. (Jon Siwek) - A number of unit tests are more robust and portable. (Jon Siwek) - A new BiF unique_id() that returns a string that's unique across Bro instaces with high probablity. (Robin Sommer) - Complete rewrite of the BinPAC SSL analyzer. (Seth Hall) * DER certificates are extracted as strings to be used with corresponding BiFs. * x509_verify function to verify single certs and/or full certificate chains. * Removed hand written SSL analyzer. * The ssl.bro script is just a place-holder for now. New version will come with the other new scripts. - New syslog analyzer. (Seth Hall) - @load now supports loading a directory. With a directory "foo" somewhere in BROPATH, "@load foo" now checks if there's a file "foo/__load__.bro". If so, it reads that file in. (Robin Sommer) - ASCII logger now escapes non-printable characters. Closes #450. (Robin Sommer) - Packaging tweaks and rewrite of 'dist' target. (Jon Siwek) - Changes to allow DEB packaging via CPack, addresses #458. (Jon Siwek) - An extension to the ICMP analyzer to handle redirects. Julien Sentier - Removing old istate test-suite. (Robin Sommer) - A hack to report missing GeoIP support only once. This closes #357, but #455 captures the need for a more general solution. (Robin Sommer) - Bugfix: vectors in records were not initalized. Closes #421. (Robin Sommer) - If IPv6 default is not compiled in, the default BPF filters now excludes IPv6 packets. (Robin Sommer) - New bif bro_has_ipv6() to check whether IPv6 support is compiled in. (Robin Sommer) - Updating btests and a Makefile. "make" now runs all the tests. (Robin Sommer) - Moving the test-scripts from the old test-suite over to btest. (Robin Sommer) - Fix for major bug in POP3 analyzer, which didn't recognize '.' terminators in multi-line replies if the terminator was bare (no newline). This caused it to ignore the rest of the session that it's analyzing. (Vern Paxson) - Fix compiler warning with gcc-4.4.4 (Gregor Maier) - Adding example documentation for a script's use of logging features. (Jon Siwek) - Adding &log attribute to static attr_names array. (Jon Siwek) - Bro can now track packet and byte counts per connection. (Gregor Maier) * If 'use_conn_size_analyzer' is true, the event engine tracks number of packets and raw IP bytes per connection. If report_conn_size_analyzer is true, these values are included as four new columns into conn.log * I changed conn.bro so that the value of report_conn_size_analyzer follows that of use_conn_size_analyzer. For the new conn.log, we probably want to get rid of report_conn_size_analyzer anyway. - Fixing numerous compiler warnings and portability issues. (All) - Switching vectors from being 1-based to 0-based. Note that this is a change that break backwards-compatibility. (Robin Sommer) - Increasing serialization format version for the recent 64-bit changes. (Robin Sommer) - Support for (mixed) MPLS and VLAN traffic, and a new default BPF filter. (Seth Hall and Robin Sommer) * Merging in the patch from #264, which provides support for mixed VLAN and MPLS traffic. * Changing Bro's default filter from being built dynamically to being a static "ip or not ip". To get the old behaviour back (i.e., the dynamically built filter), redef "all_packets" to false. * print-filter.bro now always prints the filter that Bro is actually using, even if overriden from the command line. (Robin Sommer) - Changing the HTTP's analyzers internals to use 64-bit integers. (Gregor Maier). - Fixing bug with deleting still unset record fields of table type. (Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev.99 Fri Apr 22 22:10:03 PDT 2011 - Extending the connection record with a unique identifier. (Robin Sommer) type connection: record { [...] id: string; }; These identifiers very likely unique even across independent Bro runs. - Delete operator for record fields. (Robin Sommer) "delete x$y" now resets record field "x" back to its original state if it is either &optional or has a &default. "delete" may not be used with non-optional/default fields. - Fixing bug with nested record coercions. (Robin Sommer) - Fixing a do_split() bug. (Seth Hall) 1.6-dev.94 Thu Apr 21 19:51:38 PDT 2011 - Fixing generation of config.h. (Jon Siwek) - Updates and tests for NetBIOS name BiF. (Seth Hall) - Fixing do_split bug(), and adding a test. (Seth Hall) - When Bro is given a PRNG seed, it now uses its own internal random number generator that produces consistent results across sytems. Note that this internal generator isn't very good, so it should only be used for testing purpses. (Robin Sommer) - The BTest configuration now sets the environemnt variables TZ=UTC and LANG=C to ensure consistent results. (Robin Sommer) - Logging fixes. (Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev.88 Wed Apr 20 20:43:48 PDT 2011 - Implementation of Bro's new logging framework. We will document this separately. (Robin Sommer) - Already defined record types can now be further extended via the '+=' operator. The added fields must be either &optional or have a &default value. (Robin Sommer) Example: type Foo: record { a: count; b: count &optional; }; redef record Foo += { c: count &default=42; d: count &optional; }; global f: Foo = [$a=21]; print f; Output: [a=21, b=, c=42, d=] - Enabling assignment of empty vectors ("vector()"). (Robin Sommer) - Fixing attributes to allow &default attributes to be associated with records fields of type tables/sets/vector. (Robin Sommer) - '[]' is now a valid record constructor. (Robin Sommer) - A instance of a record type A is now coercable into one of type B if the fields of type A are a subset of those of type B. (Robin Sommer) - A number of bug fixes and enhancements for record/set/table/vector coercion. (Robin Sommer) - Fixing a problem with records that have optional fields when used as table/set indices. Addresses #367. (Robin Sommer) - Fixing an off-by-one error in join_string_vec(). (Seth Hall) - Updating to_count() to cope with 64bit ints. (Seth Hall) - A new BiF count_to_v4_addr() to turn a count into an IPv4 address. (Seth Hall) 1.6-dev.80 Mon Apr 18 14:50:54 PDT 2011 - New framework for generating documentation from Bro scripts. (Jon Siwek) This includes: * Changes to Bro's scanner/parser to facilitate automatic generation of Bro policy script documentation in reStructuredText format. * New command line flags -Z/--doc-scripts to enable the new doc generation mode. * Changes to bifcl to pass comments starting with "##" through into the generated .bro script. * A "doc" build target for the top-level Makefile to first generate reStructuredText for a defined set of Bro policy scripts, and then run that through Sphinx to create HTML documentation. 1.6-dev.78 Mon Apr 18 12:52:55 PDT 2011 - Adding files to CMake build targets so they show up in generated IDE projects. This addresses #413. (Jon Siwek) - Fix unnecessary config.h preprocessor (re)definitions. This addresses #414. (Jon Siwek) - Updating istate tests. (Robin Sommer) - Adding files to CMake build targets so they show up in generated IDE projects. - Adding new environment variable BRO_SEED_FILE to set the seed file for the random number generator. (Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev.71 Fri Apr 1 16:06:33 PDT 2011 - Removing code for the following no longer supported functionality. * Trace rewriting. * DFA state expiration in regexp engine. * Active mapping. * Unused hash functions. (Robin Sommer) - Fixing crashes when SSL is not configured correctly. (Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev.66 Tue Mar 29 21:52:01 PDT 2011 - Initial btest setup (Don Appleman and Robin Sommer) - Porting the istate tests to btest (not finished) (Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev.63 Mon Mar 21 16:31:15 PDT 2011 - Changes to the way user-modifiable config files are installed (Jon Siwek) * Duplicates of the distribution's configuration files are now always installed with a .example suffix * Added --binary-package configure option to toggle configure logic specific to the creation of binary packages. * When not in binary packaging mode, `make install` never overwrites existing configure files in case they've been modified. The previous behavior (CMake's default) would only avoid overwriting modified files if one consistently uses the same build directory and doesn't reconfigure. - Fixed an issue with Mac package's pre-install script not preserving ACLs. (Jon Siwek) - Minor cleanup/refactor of the make-mac/rpm-packages scripts. (Jon Siwek) - Add explicit CMake check for compiler. (Jon Siwek) - Add alternative way to set BROPATH for running bro from build/ dir. (Jon Siwek) - Fixing compiler warnings (Gregor Maier) - Remvoing leftover local variables that caused compile error on Mac OS X. (Gregor Maier) 1.6-dev.53 Fri Feb 25 17:03:05 PST 2011 - Fixing file detector leak in remote communication module. (Scott Campbell) - Updating independent-state tests to work with new setup. (Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev.49 Fri Feb 25 15:37:28 PST 2011 - Enum IDs can have explicitly defined values. (Gregor Maier) - Extensions for the built-in function compiler, bifcl. (Gregor Maier) * Support for policy-layer namespaces. * Support for type declarations in bif files (with access them from C++) * Extended const declarations in bif files. See http://bro.icir.org/devel/bif-doc for more information. 1.6-dev.48 Fri Feb 25 10:53:04 PST 2011 - Preliminary TCP Reassembler fix: deliver data after 2GB by disabling the unused seq_to_skip feature. (Gregor Maier) 1.6-dev.47 Fri Feb 25 10:40:22 PST 2011 - Fixing endianess error in XDR when data is not 4-byte aligned. (Gregor Maier) - Fix for Val constructor with new int64 typedefs. (Gregor Maier) - Updated fix for OS X 10.5 compile error wrt llabs(). (Gregor Maier) - Fix more compiler warning wrt printf format strings. (Gregor Maier) 1.6-dev.45 Tue Feb 8 21:28:01 PST 2011 - Fixing a number of compiler warnings. (Seth Hall and Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev.44 Tue Feb 8 20:11:44 PST 2011 - A number of updates to the SSL analyzer, including support for new ciphers; SSL extensions; and bug fixes. The analyzer does not longer throw weird for exceeding a predefined cipherspec_size anymore. (Seth Hall and Rmkml). - The various split*() BiFs now handle strings containing null bytes correctly. (Seth Hall) - Adding new aux/btest submodule. This is a framework we will use in the future for doing unit tests. (Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev.41 Mon Feb 7 13:43:56 PST 2011 - Smarter way to increase the parent/child pipe's socket buffer. (Craig Leres). - Fixing bug with defining bro_int_t and bro_uint_t to be 64 bits wide on some platforms. (Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev.39 Mon Jan 31 16:42:23 PST 2011 - Login's confused messages now go through weird.bro. (Robin Sommer) 1.6-dev.36 Mon Jan 31 08:45:35 PST 2011 - Adding more configure options for finding dependencies, (Jon Siwek) --with-flex=PATH path to flex executable --with-bison=PATH path to bison executable --with-perl=PATH path to perl executable --with-python=PATH path to Python interpreter --with-python-lib=PATH path to libpython --with-python-inc=PATH path to Python headers --with-swig=PATH path to SWIG executable - Fixing typo in PCAPTests.cmake (Jon Siwek) 1.6-dev.33 Mon Jan 24 15:29:04 PST 2011 - Fixing bug in SMB analyzer. (Robin Sommer) - Configure wrapper now deletes previous CMake cache (Jon Siwek) - Fix for the --with-binpac configure option. (Jon Siwek) 1.6-dev.30 Thu Jan 20 16:32:43 PST 2011 - Changed configure wrapper to create config.status. (Jon Siwek) 1.6-dev.29 Thu Jan 20 16:29:56 PST 2011 - Fixing little problem with initialization of Bro-to-Bro event communication. (Christian Kreibich) 1.6-dev.27 Thu Jan 20 13:52:25 PST 2011 - Fine-tuning of the HTTP analyzer in terms of raising protocol violations and interrupted transfers. (Gregor Maier) 1.6-dev.21 Wed Jan 19 17:36:02 PST 2011 - Added 4 new BiFs and a new record type for testing the entropy of strings. (Seth Hall) find_entropy(data: string): entropy_test_result This is a one shot function that accepts a string and returns the result of the entropy calculations. entropy_test_init(index: any): bool This and the next two functions are for calculating entropy piece-wise. It only needs an index which can be any type of variable. It needs to be something that uniquely identifies the data stream that is currently having it's entropy calculated. entropy_test_add(index: any, data: string): bool This function is used to add data into the entropy calculation. It takes the index used in the function above and the data that you are adding and returns true if everything seemed to work, false otherwise. entropy_test_finish(index: any): entropy_test_result Calling this function indicates that all of the desired data has been inserted into the entropy_test_add function and the entropy should be calculated. This function *must* be called in order to clean up an internal state tracking variable. If this is never called on an index, it will result in a memory leak. The entropy_test_result values have several measures of the entropy, but a good one to work with is the "entropy" attribute. It's a double and as the value approaches 8.0 it can be considered more and more random. For example, a value of 7.832 would be quite random but a value of 4.671 is not very random. 1.6-dev.20 Wed Jan 19 17:30:11 PST 2011 - BRO_DNS_FAKE is now listed in the --help output. (Seth Hall) 1.6-dev.18 Wed Jan 19 16:37:13 PST 2011 - Removing unnecessary expire timer from http_sessions. (Gregor Maier) 1.6-dev.16 Sat Jan 15 14:14:21 PST 2011 - Updates to the build system. (Jonathan Siwek) * ``make dist`` is now available to be used with the top-level Makefile for creating source packages according to #344. * ``make-rpm-packages`` and ``make-mac-packages`` scripts can now generate binary packages according to #295. * Additional configure options to change packaging behavior. * OS X builds will now prefer to link static libraries of optional dependencies that don't come with the vanilla operating system. * Fix for OS X 10.5 compile error dealing with the llabs() function from stdlib. * Installing as a different user than the one that configured/built now works (although, a harmless error message about not being able to write the install manifest may occur). 1.6-dev.3 Wed Dec 8 04:09:38 PST 2010 - Merge with Subversion repository as of r7137. Incorporated change: * Fix for packet processing resumption when a remote Bro dies during state synchronization (Robin Sommer). 1.6-dev.2 Wed Dec 8 03:57:03 PST 2010 - Compatibility fix for OpenSSL 1.0.0 (Christian Kreibich, Gregor Maier). 1.6-dev.1 Sat Nov 27 12:19:47 PST 2010 - Merge with Subversion repository as of r7098. Incorporated changes: * Rotation post-processors are now passed an additional argument indicating whether Bro is terminating (Robin Sommer). * Bro now consistently generates a file_opened event for all fopen() calls. (Robin Sommer). * You can now redefine the email_notice_to function (Robin Sommer). 1.6-dev.0 Fri Nov 26 13:48:11 PST 2010 - The Bro source code is now developed in the new git repositories. See the developer pages at http://www.bro-ids.org for more information on the new development process. - Bro's build and installation setup has been moved from GNU autotools to CMake. As a result of that, layout and specifics of the distribution has changed significantly. - Lots of pieces have been removed from the distribution that are either now unnecessary or are no longer maintained. - As part of the cleanup, a numbef of Bro configure options and their corresponding functionality have been removed, including: * --disable-select-loop * --with-dag * --disable-nbdns * --enable-activemapping * --enable-activemapping * --enable-shippedpcap - The previous configure option --enable-int64 is now enabled by default, and can no longer be disabled. - ClamAV support has been removed, which has been non-functional for a while already. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 1.5.3 Thu Mar 3 08:55:11 PST 2011 - Removing aux/broctl/policy/cluster-addrs.hot.bro from the distribution. The script is no longer needed and could in fact break an installation because it redefines an old variable that has went away. (Robin Sommer) - Smarter way to increase the communication module's pipe's socket buffer size, resulting in a value closer to the allowed maximum. (Craig Leres) - BroControl now also maintains links from the log archive to the current set of logs when running in standalone mode. (Robin Sommer) - Bug fix for a file descriptor leak in the remote communication module. (Scott Campbell) - Bug fix for BroControl to now activate trace-summary's sampling in cluster mode, but not anymore in standalone mode. (Robin Sommer) - Broccoli updates: * Accept empty strings ("") as values in the configuration file. (Craig Leres) * Support for specifying a separate host key for SSL-enabled operation, with documentation update. (Craig Leres) 1.5.2 Wed Jan 12 17:34:55 PST 2011 - Portability fixes for --enable-int64 (Vern Paxson). - Bug fix for Active Mapping support (Kevin Lo). - Broccoli compiler warning fixes (Kevin Lo). - Bug fixes for --enable-int64 and for avoiding bogus statistics / bad memory references when generating profiling information upon exit (Vern Paxson). - Bug fixes for terminating connections (Tyler Schoenke and Vern Paxson). - Removed now-quite-stale SSHv1 overflow detection, as it's more prone to false positives than useful detection (Vern Paxson). - The SWIG file now explicitly lists those pieces from broccoli.h which it wants to wrap, rather than just including all of broccoli.h (Robin Sommer). - http-header.bro now includes a global "include_header: set[string]" If it contains any strings, then only those headers will be processed. If left empty, then you continue to get the current behavior of processing all headers. (Robin Sommer). - Several changes to drop.bro (Robin Sommer): * If True, the new flag Drop::dont_drop_locals indicates that local hosts should never be dropped. On by default. * If True, the new flag Drop::debugging activates extensive debugging output for the catch-and-release logic. Off by default. * The timeout for tracking dropping information is now 1 day rather than 7 days, to better echo the one-restart-a-day semantics used in the past. * Bug fix for hosts once dropped by later cleared; some state for them persisted. - Portability fix for Broccoli Python bindings on 64-bit platforms (Robin Sommer). - The HTTP analyzer no longer attempts to track Server/User-Agent versions, as these are hugely voluminous (Seth Hall). - HTTP and SMTP no longer have extra-short inactivity timeouts, as these were too often leading to premature expiration of a connection (Robin Sommer). - Tracking of HTTP refer[r]er's by setting log_referrer. (Vern Paxson). - The "rst" tool (aux/rst/) now takes an optional "-I " argument that instructs it to inject as payload rather than sending a RST packet (Vern Paxson). must be NUL-terminated, and the NUL is not included. - Bug fix for crashes in the DNS analyzer when processing replies for which no request was seen (Robin Sommer). - Addressed a number of lint nits (Vern Paxson). - Rotation post-processors are now passed an additional argument indicating whether Bro is terminating (Robin Sommer). - Bro now consistently generates a file_opened event for all fopen() calls. (Robin Sommer). - The "cf" utility now ignores a leading "t=" prefix, for compatibility with Bro's "tagged" logging format (Robin Sommer). - You can now redefine the email_notice_to function (Robin Sommer). - Fix for packet processing resumption when a remote Bro dies during state synchronization (Robin Sommer). - OpenSSL/X509 portability fix, at long last (Gregor Maier & Christian Kreibich). - Fix for compatibility with newer versions of autoconf (Gregor Maier). - A larger BroControl update (Robin Sommer, if not marked otherwise): o Increasing default timeouts for scan detector significantly. o Increasing the manager's max_remote_events_processed to something large, as it would slow down the process too much otherwise and there's no other work to be interleaved with it anyway. o Adding debug output to cluster's part of catch-and-release (extends the debugging already present in policy/debug.bro) o Fixing typo in util.py. Closes #223. o Added note to README pointing to HTML version. o Disabling print_hook for proxies' remote.log. o broctl's capstats now reports a total as well, and stats.log tracks these totals. Closes #160. o Avoiding spurious "waiting for lock" messages in cron mode. Closes #206. o Bug fixes for installation on NFS. o Bug fix for top command on FreeBSD 8. o crash-diag now checks whether gdb is available. o trace-summary reports the sample factor in use in its output, and now also applies it to the top-local-networks output (not doing the latter was a bug). o Removed the default twice-a-day rotation for conn.log. The default rotation for conn.log now is now once every 24h, just like for all other logs with the exception of mail.log (which is still rotated twice a day, and thus the alarms are still mailed out twice a day). o Fixed the problem of logs sometimes being filed into the wrong directory (see the (now gone) FAQ entry in the README). o One can now customize the archive naming scheme. See the corresponding FAQ entry in the README. o Cleaned up, and extended, collection of cluster statistics. ${logdir}/stats now looks like this: drwxr-xr-x 4 bro wheel 59392 Apr 5 17:55 . drwxr-xr-x 96 bro wheel 2560 Apr 6 12:00 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 bro wheel 576 Apr 6 16:40 meta.dat drwxr-xr-x 2 bro wheel 2048 Apr 6 16:40 profiling -rw-r--r-- 1 bro wheel 771834825 Apr 6 16:40 stats.log drwxr-xr-x 2 bro wheel 2048 Apr 6 16:25 www stats.log accumulates cluster statistics collected every time "cron" is called. - profiling/ keeps the nodes' prof.logs. - www/ keeps a subset of stats.log in CSV format for easy plotting. - meta.dat contains meta information about the current cluster state (in particular which nodes we have, and when the last stats update was done). Note that there is no Web setup yet to actually visualize the data in www/. o BroControl now automatically maintains links inside today's log archive directory pointing to the current live version of the corresponding log file (if Bro is running). For example: smtp.log.11:52:18-current -> /usr/local/cluster/spool/manager/smtp.log o Alarms mailed out by BroControl now (1) have the notice msg in the subject; and (2) come with the full mail.log entry in the body. o Fixing broctl's top output. (Seth Hall). o Fixing broctl's df output in certain situations. o BroControl fix for dealing with large vsize values reported by "top" (Craig Leres). 1.5.1 Fri Dec 18 15:17:12 PST 2009 - Due to a Python configuration problem, the original 1.5 distribution did not include the BroControl component, which also introduced a portability problem for CentOS. These issues have now been fixed (Robin Sommer and Vern Paxson). 1.5 Wed Dec 16 21:28:47 PST 2009 - Bro now comes with a new framework, BroControl, for managing an operational Bro setup, including support for installation, configuration, and maintainance tasks such a log archival and mail notification. The framework transparently supports both traditional standalone setups as well as cluster installations in which multiple Bro boxes coordinate to analyze a high-volume network link. See aux/broctl/README for more information about BroControl. Note, BroControl supersedes the older BroLite system, which is no longer supported and has been deprecated for a while now. - Numerous adjustments to DPD = dynamic protocol detection (Robin Sommer): o The Analyzer::ProtocolViolation?() method can now be passed the offending data (which POP3, SMTP, and FTP now do). This information is added to the "reason" string passed to the script level. o SMTP now more accurately reports violations. o FTP stops processing when client & server successfully negotiate an AUTH scheme (leading to subsequent encryption). o Analyzer::ProtocolViolation() is virtual, and TCP_ApplicationAnalyzer() overrides it to not report violations for any partial connections, because very likely these arise just due to the analyzer getting confused. o TCP::IsPartial() returns true if any side did not start with a SYN packet (used to be just be for the originator). o The connection_state_remove handler in conn.bro now has a higher &priority so that other handlers for the same event can use determine_service() and see any changes it performs. o DynDisable:max_volume specifies a volume limit (default 10K). Once a connection exceeds this limit, further protocol limitations will neither raise ProtocolViolation notices nor cause the analyzer to be disabled. o The event engine no longer raises protocol_violation events for TCP connections which had gaps, as these have proven too unreliable. (Note that, ideally, the *analyzers* should avoid reporting protocol_violations when they can't reliably parse a connection anymore after a gap; but many don't.) - A set of new script functions provide support for incrementally computing MD5 checksums (Seth Hall). md5_hash_init(index: any): bool Initializes an incremental hashing instance. "index" is a value of arbitrary type, used to identify this particular instance (you can have multiple concurrent instances by using different index values). Returns T on success, F on failure (such as the index is already in use). md5_hash_update(index: any, data: string): bool For the given hashing instance, updates the hash based on the given data. Returns T on success, F on failure (such as the index has not been initialized). md5_hash_finish(index: any): string Returns the MD5-printable hash for the given index and terminates the instance, or the string "" if the index was not active. - Bro now supports a believed-to-be-robust mechanism for estimating the proportion of traffic that it failed to capture ("measurement drops"), which can arise due to overload in either Bro itself, the kernel's packet filter, or problems with the link tapping mechanism (Vern Paxson). The event engine can generate estimates for either live traffic or what was previously recorded in a trace file, though traces subject to some forms of selective omission (such as skipping over parts of a connection to reduce storage) can lead to erroneous values. The estimates are based on observing gaps in TCP data streams, and come in two forms: the rate at which such gaps appear, and the relative volume of data missing due to the gaps. (We've found however that the volume-based estimator is not robust due to occasional packets with incorrect sequence numbers, so this estimator is off by default.) The easy way to get the estimates is to load capture-loss.bro. By default, it generates a CaptureLossSummary notice upon Bro's exit, which can look like: 1130222759.344066 CaptureLossSummary estimated rate = 0.00089124 / 0.000970997 (events/bytes) If the estimated loss is none, however, it suppresses this notice, unless you redef CaptureLoss::summary_if_none to T. You can also get finer-grained access by defining a "gap_report" event handler and redef'ing gap_report_freq to a non-zero interval (such as "10 sec"). This event allows you to pinpoint regions in time that exhibit significant capture loss. See capture-loss.bro for an example of a handler for this event. Finally, these changes include a number of fixes to Bro's ack_above_hole/content_gap analysis, which is now significantly more robust. - GeoIP support now supports ASN lookups via the built-in function lookup_asn(a: addr): count (Scott Campbell and Seth Hall). - The GeoIP built-in's lookup_location() and lookup_asn() now support IPv6 (Seth Hall). Note, the current GeoIP distribution doesn't include any IPv6 databases, so for now these won't succeed, but the hooks are in place for when databases become available. - lookup_location() now falls back back to the country database if the city database isn't available (Seth Hall). - The new SuccessfulPasswordGuessing Notice is generated when a host has been seen attempting password guessing (currently only for FTP sessions) and then successfully logs in (Royal Chan). You can control the threshold for such reports in terms of how many attempts the host must have made by redef'ing the variable password_guessing_success_threshhold, which defaults to 20. - The new script http-detect-passwd.bro analyzes the Web items returned for fetches that appear to be accessing the passwd file (Akhil Dhar). It generates a PasswordFullFetch Notice if it appears that the item includes a full password file, and PasswordShadowFetch if it looks like a shadowed password file. - The new built-in system_env(cmd: string, env: table[string] of string) works like system(), but puts the table entries into the environment before invoking the command (Robin Sommer). Each in the table creates an environment variable of the form "BRO_ARG_", whose value is the corresponding table entry. - The new script function execute_with_notice(cmd: string, notice_info) executes "cmd" with an environment containing the fields of the notice_info, i.e., the information associated with a Notice (Robin Sommer). Per the new system_env() function above, the environment variables appear as "BRO_ARG_", where is the field tag as it appears in notice.log when you enable use_tagging. - The new built-in enable_raw_output(file) acts the same as the attribute &raw_output (Seth Hall). - The new built-in file_opened(f: file) event is generated any time Bro opens a script-level file (Justin Azoff). You can use this, for example, if you want to ensure that a given file has a prelude in it such as human-readable headers, even when the file is rotated. - The notice_info record has a new field aux: table[string] of string &optional which you can use for information specific to a given type of notice (Robin Sommer). Entries in $aux appear as "aux_" tags in notice.log. - Another new notice_info record field is the boolean do_alarm (default=T), which, if set to F, overides a notice action otherwise specifying to generate an alarm (Robin Sommer). In other words, if do_alarm is F, no alarm will be generated independent of the notice action. This is a work-around for the fact that we can't specify more than one action. In particular, we couldn't NOTICE_DROP but then *not* alarm, which we now can by returning NOTICE_DROP yet setting do_alarm to F. - The notice_info record field $dropped now appears in the tagged output format if true (Robin Sommer). - NOTICEs relating to scan detection now no longer include the connection that triggered the notice, as it really doesn't contain any useful information, given that the particular trigger simply depends on the detection algorithm and its parameters (Robin Sommer). However, we do explicitly set $p (port number) in the notice, and also $n with the number of attempts. - drop.bro now hardwires a Catch-and-Release redrop after seeing one connection from a previously-dropped-but-already-released host (Robin Sommer). - drop.bro now provides some new hooks (Robin Sommer): event address_dropped(a: addr) Generated when an address has been dropped. event address_restored(a: addr) Generated when connectivity to an address has been restored, such as using the Catch-and-Release mechanism. event address_cleared(a: addr) Generated when an address that was dropped in the past is no longer being monitored looking for new connections (as part of the Catch-and-Release mechanism). - The new built-in function hexdump(data_str: string) : string returns a hex dump representation of the given input data (Christian Kreibich). The dump renders 16 bytes per line, with hex on the left and ASCII (where printable) on the right. - Bro's notion of when a TCP connection begins now dastes to the first instance of an initial SYN packet seen, rather than the last (Gregor Maier). - The Time Machine script tm-contents.bro now generates event contents_saved: event(c: connection, orig_file: string, resp_file: string) when the content of a connection has been completely saved to disk (Robin Sommer). - The mime.bro script now exports the MIME header callback table, and also marks it as &redef'able so you can modify its entries (Matthias Vallentin). The mime_log file is also now exported. - A new signature file, policy/sigs/http-bots.sig, contains signatures to detect some of the current HTTP based controlled bot families (Seth Hall). - The signature engine's HTTP pattern matching has been fixed (Seth Hall) to align with the documentation at: http://www.bro-ids.org/wiki/index.php/Reference_Manual:_Signatures#Content_conditions In particular, the content condition "http" is now referred to as "http-request" (though "http" still works for backward compatibility), "http-request-header" and "http-reply-header" now provide access to headers seen in only one direction, and similarly for "http-request-body" and "http-reply-body". (This latter is still accessible as "http-body" for backwards compatibility.) - The new script variable max_remote_events_processed: count (default 10) sets a limit on the number of remote events processed in each round, before tending to other inputs (Robin Sommer). - If you set the new script variable dump_used_event_handlers to T, then on startup Bro dumps out all of the event handlers that the loaded set of scripts can invoke (Matthias Vallenti). - Summaries for DNS PTR scanning now use a separate Notice, DNS_PTR_Scan_Summary, rather than overloading DNS_PTR_Scan (Robin Sommer). - scan.bro now provides a table skip_dest_server_ports: set[addr, port] which lists servers (defined as an address and a port) excluded from scan detection computations (Craig Leres and Jay Krous). - When redefining values on the command line directly (using var=value), quotation marks are now implicit only if "var" is a variable of type string (Christian Kreibich). This allows other string-like values (such as enum's) to be passed as well. - scan.bro now explicitly loads conn.bro so that it can itself be loaded independently (Robin Sommer). - login.bro depends on scan.bro (because of tracking authentication "scans"), so now it explicitly loads it (Vern Paxson). - UDP_datagram_length_mismatch is now by default flagged just once per originating host rather than once per connection, as it can generate tons of messages (Vern Paxson). - Removed now-long-boring flagging of access to Solaris "listen" service as "hot" (Vern Paxson). - Removal of libedit, since libreadline provides similar functionality (Christian Kreibich). - Added scripts missing from distribution: dce.bro, ncp.bro, and smb.bro (Vern Paxson). - ssh.bro now exports ssh_ports (Seth Hall) - A number of improvements to inter-Bro communication (Robin Sommer). (1) Remote communication now no longer includes location information for serialized objects; that removes quite a bit of redundacy from the network traffic. (2) The new option 'remote_check_sync_consistency" disables the cross-check on the receiving side of &synchronized state of whether the current value of a variable has the value expected by the sender. Transmitting the original values in addition to the updates generates quite a bit CPU & network load in some cases (in particular, a table of tables). The default for remote_check_sync_consistency is off, and so far that in particular seems to reduce the proxy's load quite a bit. (3) Complete overhaul of the internal caching of serialized objects. The objective of the caching is avoid retransmitting already sent values over and over again. It turns out, however, that some objects are very stable and hardly change or get replaced (e.g., Bro types); while other change all the time and are hardly reused some time later (e.g., Vals). Now we maintain *two* caches independently for these types of objects; one with a low turn-over one and another with a high one. This should reduce CPU load on both sender and receiver sides. The new scheme is only used if both communicating Bros support it; with older Bros, as well as with Broccoli, we continue using the old scheme. - Some reworking of remote printing (Robin Sommer), as follows. Bro now uses a new interprocess message rather than print_hook events, to better manage buffering and associated load (these can produce failures depending on system configuration; see remote.log). A number of timeouts and buffer sizes have been tuned. Internally, EINTR errors are now treated separately from EAGAIN. Finally, even with remote_check_sync_consistency=F, one type of consistency check was still being done; this is no longer the case. - The DNS analyzer now generates events (dns_query_reply/dns_rejected) for replies with zero questions (Robin Sommer). - Perftools support for incompatible changes in the 1.0 API (Robin Sommer). - Rearranged (generally reducing, though not always) some state timeouts associated with scan detection (Robin Sommer). In addition, when a scanning address crosses ignore_scanners_threshold (meaning that it will be ignored from now on anyway), it gets discarded from all state-tracking tables. Finally, the ignore_scanners_threshold now applies all kinds of scans, not just address scans. - Substantial Broccoli updates, including a new initialization requirement that breaks backward compatibility, support for enqueueing serialized event data for transmission, and OpenSSL threadsafe initialization. See aux/broccoli/ChangeLog for details (Christian Kreibich, Robin Sommer, and Matthias Vallentin). - Broccoli hashtable optimisation. See aux/broccoli/ChangeLog for details (Christian Kreibich & Matthias Vallentin). - Broccoli memory leak fixed, see aux/broccoli/ChangeLog for details (Christian Kreibich). - Broccoli: updates to bropipe tool (Steve Chan and Robin Sommer). - Bug fixes for Broccoli Python bindings (Robin Sommer and Matthias Vallentin). - Fixed nasty bug due to module scoping that completely kept stepping-stone detection from working (Vern Paxson). - A serious bug in the packet sorter has been fixed (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for extra NULs getting embedded in escaped strings (Seth Hall). - Bug fix for HTTP messages that use "Connection: close" rather than length headers, which yielded erroneous reassembled messages with \r\n's when only \n's were present (Bernhard Ager). - Fix for reporting on ICMP flows that are expired from the flow table (Vern Paxson). Previously there was a race condition if the flow was flushed prior to its summary timer expiring. - The -l option (list the scripts that Bro loads) now correctly prints scripts loaded by the prefix mechanism, and uses indentation to indicate the load hierarchy (Robin Sommer). - A bug has been fixed (really, worked around) in drop.bro that prevented dropped addresses from being properly restored (Robin Sommer). - Fixes for deadlocking problems in the Broccoli protocol. See aux/broccoli/ChangeLog for details (Christian Kreibich & Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for DNS analyzer on 64-bit machines (Gregor Maier). - Bug fix for asynchronous DNS lookups to prevent some successful lookups being reported as timed out (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for tracking line numbers associated with compound statements (Po-Ching Lin). - Fix for a rare condition in which the main Bro process couldn't kill its child process (Robin Sommer). - Fix for file rotation when the underlying file is deleted before the timer expires (Robin Sommer). - Fix for potential crash when communication connections break down, and also for releasing cached objects (Robin Sommer). - Fix for default table entries computed by function invocation to not cache previous results (Robin Sommer). - Fix for Bro's internal DNS resolution (Scott Campbell and Robin Sommer). - Portability fix for DAG packet capture (Gregor Maier). - Portability fix for --enable-brov6 (Robin Sommer). - Portability fixes for FreeBSD (Vern Paxson). - A work around for new_packet() crashing on IPv6 packets (Vern Paxson). For now, IPv6 packets are skipped. Also, for fragments the event handler is now only called for the fully reassembled packet. - The new configuration option --disable-nbdns supports disabling non-blocking DNS at configure time (Sean McCreary). Note, there are some known problems with it in some environments. - A number of configuration fixes and enhancements (Christian Kreibich and Robin Sommer). - Consistency nit for the configuration process (Seth Hall). - A number of reference-counting and other memory management fixes (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for inter-Bro communication lockup (Seth Hall and Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for computing TCP payload length in new_packet event (Lothar Braun). - Bug fix for sending boolean True values via Broccoli (Seth Hall). - make distcheck fix to clean up .bif.bro files (Christian Kreibich). - Bug fix for DPD's recognition of SSLv2 connections (Seth Hall). - Bug fix for &default for tables indexed by subnets (Seth Hall). - A bug has been fixed that could crash Bro when you called get_event_peer() after a remote connection had already disppeared (Robin Sommer). - Introduced a work-around for crashes that occur when Bro exits due to handling a signal (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for checkpoint.bro - don't schedule timers for times that aren't actually in the future (Robin Sommer). - Hostname formatting fix for anon.bro (Fabian Schneider). - Bug fix for redundant .log extension in Time Machine log file (reported by CS Lee). - Removed now-outdated special-casing of Linux reporting of packet filter statistics (Peter Wurzinger and Robin Sommer). - A number of memory leaks fixed (Robin Sommer). - Addressed warnings from newer versions of g++ (Robin Sommer and Vern Paxson). - Fixed an invocation issue in the ca-create script that prevented it from working with recent OpenSSL versions (Craig Leres & Christian Kreibich). - Comment fixed in drop-adapt (Justin Azoff). - Duplicate code removed from Val (Seth Hall). 1.4 Fri Oct 17 11:08:52 PDT 2008 - We are no longer supporting a previous Bro release as the "stable" version. Rather, the model now is that the current public release will aim for increasing stability (occasionally updated with fixes), and those who wish to use a "bleeding-edge" snapshot can do so via access to the public SVN source code repository, as explained at http://bro-ids.org/wiki/index.php/Subversion#Public_Access Note that all previous releases remain available from the download page; what is changing is that we no longer commit to support for the most recent of these. - We have clarified the copyright statement that covers most of the code to remove the "advertising clause" that derived from older BSD licenses, and we have removed copyright wording from most source code files. See COPYING for the current wording and a list of files that retain their own copyright notices. - Bro now supports analyzing NetFlow v5 data, i.e., from Cisco routers (Bernhard Ager). NetFlow can be useful for intrusion detection as it allows analysis of traffic from many different points in the network. Bro can now read NetFlow data from a UDP socket, as well as (mostly for debugging purposes) from a file in a specialized format. You can create these files with the programs given in aux/nftools. Command line switches: -Y|--netflow :[=] | read flow from socket This is the usual way of getting NetFlow data into Bro by opening a UDP socket on : and reading all incoming packets. Setting the to 0.0.0.0 should work on most platforms. Optionally you may set an identifier for the source - useful if there are many different sources you want to analyze in parallel. This might also be necessary if you want to use this feature with a clustered Bro. Examples: bro -Y 0.0.0.0:5555 netflow bro -i eth0 -Y 10.0.0.1:1234=src1 brolite netflow -y|--flowfile [=] Used to read from a file. You can optionally include an identifier for the source. Examples: bro -y myflowfile netflow bro -y myflowfile=src1 otherflowfile=src2 netflow Netflow Events: event netflow_v5_header(h: nf_v5_header) Generated upon reading a new NetFlow PDU, as summarized in the argument. The field h_id gives the flow source identifier and a serial number. You can use this field to associate subsequent netflow_v5_record events with their header. event netflow_v5_record (r: nf_v5_record) Every record within a NFv5 PDU generates a corresponding netflow_v5_record() event. The relatively complex timestamp format of NFv5 is already converted to Bro's time type, and the TCP header flags are separated into bools. The distribution includes an example analysis script, netflow.bro. It simply dumps received NetFlow records. If netflow_restitch is T (the default), then Bro performs flow restitching as well, and two script variables become relevant: global netflow_finished_conn_expire = 310 sec &redef; specifies how long to wait for additional flow records after a RST or FIN for const netflow_table_expire = 31 min; Its setting only affects table declarations, and therefore cannot be usefully redef'd. Auxiliary programs: Bro uses a custom format for flow data stored in files, to enable preserving timestamps of the PDU arrivals and the exporter's IP address. The tools nfcollector and ftwire2bro in aux/nftools/ provide ways to manipulate the Bro NF file format. The first dumps NetFlow data from a UDP socket to stdout or to a file in Bro format. The second converts NetFlow data in "wire" format to Bro format, and, while doing so, fakes up the exporter's IP address and timestamp. You can get "wire" format from normal flow-tools files, e.g., by using 'flow-export -f 4'. Please note that the Bro format is just a hack to allow for easier debugging. Therefore the format is not in fact platform independent, and not suitable for data storage. - A new DHCP analyzer generates the following events (Po-Ching Lin): event dhcp_discover(c: connection, msg: dhcp_msg, req_addr: addr) event dhcp_offer(c: connection, msg: dhcp_msg, mask: addr, event dhcp_request(c: connection, msg: dhcp_msg, event dhcp_decline(c: connection, msg: dhcp_msg) event dhcp_ack(c: connection, msg: dhcp_msg, mask: addr, event dhcp_nak(c: connection, msg: dhcp_msg) event dhcp_release(c: connection, msg: dhcp_msg) event dhcp_inform(c: connection, msg: dhcp_msg) where dhcp_msg values look like: type dhcp_msg: record { op: count; # 1 = BOOTREQUEST, 2 = BOOTREPLY m_type: count; # the type of DHCP message xid: count; # transaction ID of a DHCP session h_addr: string; # hardware address of the client ciaddr: addr; # original IP address of the client yiaddr: addr; # IP address assigned to the client }; See dhcp.bro for the corresponding analysis script (which could probably use some refinements). Note, this analyzer is implemented using BinPAC, so you will need to specify --use-binpac to activate it. - A BitTorrent analyzer is now available (Nadi Sarrar). See the policy scripts bittorrent.bro and bt-tracker.bro for the events generated for analyzing transfers and tracker dialogs, respectively. - The "Bro Lite" configuration is now deprecated and will not in general be supported (Robin Sommer & Vern Paxson). - "make install" now only installs a core set of files (Robin Sommer). Policy files are now installed in /share/bro/* (or whatever configure determines $datadir to be), which is now in Bro's default search path. It creates a directory /share/bro/site for local policy files, and the default BROPATH is extended to include this. The default path no longer includes policy/local. You can install the additional files used by the (now deprecated) "Bro Lite" configuration using "make install-brolite". - Substantial updates to Broccoli, including support for container types (tables and sets) as well as a new metadata structure for event callbacks, facilitating truly generic event handler implementations (Christian Kreibich, Seth Hall and Robin Sommer). See aux/broccoli/ChangeLog for details. - Extensive changes to allow Bro to process packets captured in the past intermingled with those captured in real-time (Matthias Vallentin and Robin Sommer). This operation reflects combining Bro with use of "Time Machine" functionality for packet capture. - We have unfortunately had to disable support for configuring Bro to use ClamAV, since it turns out that the key interface we need for processing blocks of memory directly rather than whole files is no longer supported by the package, and in fact was buggy even when it was (Robin Sommer). - The new signature option "http-body //" matches on the body data of HTTP entities (Robin Sommer). The matching is done after decompressing the body, if necessary. - The new built-in function identify_data(data: string, return_mime: bool) analyzes the string "data" and returns its type according to libmagic, if installed (Seth Hall). The second argument controls whether it should be returned as a MIME-type or just an identifying string. For example, identify_data("MZpofigu", F) returns the string "MS-DOS executable", and print identify_data("MZpofigu", T) returns "application/x-dosexec". - The new analysis script http-identified-files.bro identifies the type of items returned by Web servers using libMagic (if available) and generates notices for interesting types and mismatches between URLs and types (Seth Hall). You configure it using two variables. watched_mime_types is a pattern (default /application\/x-dosexec/ | /application\/x-executable/ ) for which any MIME type matching the pattern generates a HTTP_WatchedMIMEType notice. mime_types_extensions is a table mapping strings to patterns specifying how URLs for the given MIME type should appear. (Ideally, this would be a table mapping patterns to patterns, but Bro doesn't currently support that.) It defaults to: ["application/x-dosexec"] = /\.([eE][xX][eE]|[dD][lL][lL])/ i.e., do Windows executables end in .exe or .dll. You can also redef the pattern ignored_urls to specify URLs that should not generate complaints. It defaults to matching Windows Update. - The new script http-extract-items.bro extracts the items from HTTP traffic into individual files (Vern Paxson). Files are named: .._._. where is a redef'able prefix (default: "http-item"), is a number uniquely identifying the item, the next four are describe the connection tuple, and is "orig" if the item was transferred from the originator to the responder, "resp" otherwise. - The workings of how Bro interfaces to external programs for dropping/ restoring connectivity of misbehaving hosts has been significantly reworked (Brian Tierney and Robin Sommer). First, dropping decisions used to be made directly by analyzer scripts, such as scan.bro directly calling drop_address(). Now instead the scripts generate Notices and then the notice policy can have an action of NOTICE_DROP to codify that the response to the given Notice is to drop the source. The new notice_action_filter of drop_source drops the source of notices, and drop_source_and_terminate both drops the source and terminates the corresponding connection. So, to drop all sources triggering a specific notice, one can now, e.g., write: redef notice_action_filters += { [Hot::SSH_Overflow] = drop_source }; Related to this change, notice_info has a new field $dropped, set to true if the Notice triggered a (successful) drop. Second, by redef'ing Drop::use_catch_release to T (default F) you can activate "catch-and-release" logic. You use this mode when you need to manage a limited number of possible blocks, or to build in automatic "forgiveness" in situations where blocked sources might become benign (such as due to dynamic IP addresses). If a source has been idle for Drop::drop_time, then it is unblocked. However, if it is again seen as block-worthy, then it is blocked for an interval of Drop::long_drop_time. Third, ICMP scanning is now reported by its own notice, ICMPAddressScan, rather than Scan::AddressScan. - Google's perftools have replaced mpatrol for leak-checking and heap-profiling (Robin Sommer). If Bro is compiled with --enable-perftools and configure finds the perftools, there are two command-line options available: -m turns on leak checking of the main packet loop, with some uninteresting leaks are suppressed. Currently, with one exception (the RPC analyzer; problem not yet found), it reports no leaks when running the test suite. -M turns on heap profiling: Bro will take a snapshot of the heap before starting the main packet loop and another one when finished. These snapshots can then be analyzed with pprof. For more information about the perftools see http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools - Notice tags are now generated in a pseudo-unique fashion that, with high probability, ensures that tags generated by separate Bro processes don't clash when logged to a common location, such as for a Bro cluster (Robin Sommer). Tags are now string's rather than count's, and are associated with all notices, not just that are connection-related. You can however redef the string notice_tag_prefix or the function new_notice_tag to further control how such tags are generated. - Four new built-ins for type conversion (Robin Sommer): function double_to_interval(d: double): interval function addr_to_count(a: addr): count function port_to_count(p: port): count function count_to_port(c: count, t: transport_proto): port - Many policy scripts have been modified to use modules & scoping (Robin Sommer and Matthias Vallentin), which may require updates to existing scripts/refinements. - The new script variable dpd_conn_logs (default F), if true, changes the semantics of the service field in connection logs written to conn.log, as follows (Robin Sommer). It becomes a comma-separated list of analyzers confirmed by DPD to parse the connection's payload. If no analyzer could confirm its protocol, but the connection uses a well-known port, the service is the name of the port with "?" appended (e.g., "http?"), as long as the corresponding analyzer has not declined the connection. In addition, ftp-data sessions are labeled "ftp-data" and portmapper connections are labeled with the specific method-call (just as before). dpd_conn_logs defaults to F because the change in semantics may break scripts that parse conn.logs; but it will likely change to the default in the future. With dpd_conn_logs turned off, conn logs are generated as they used to be, with a few rare exceptions (with previous versions, the service field was sometimes determined while the connection was still alive; now it's always determined at the time when the conn.log entry is written out). - The SSL analyzer has been rewritten using BinPAC, with a number of robustness improvements (Tobias Kiesling). It currently is only used if you execute with --use-binpac. - Python bindings for Broccoli are now available in aux/broccoli/bindings/python/ (Robin Sommer). See README/README.html in that director for details. - The new "auth" option in remote.bro indicates whether a given side is considered "authoritative" for shared state, in which case it sends its initial state to &sync'ed peers (Robin Sommer). When two peers synchronize their state, one side sends its current set of state to the other as soon as the remote connection is established. The one sending the state used to be the one who has been running longer; now it can also be explicitly set via the "auth" flag in the Remote::Destination. - Two new tuning parameters for scan.bro (Robin Sommer): ignore_scanners_threshold (default 0): If a host has scanned more than this many hosts, it is completely excluded from further scan detection. 0 disables. addr_scan_trigger (default 0): A host is only tracked for address scanning once it has contacted this many different hosts. Primarily intended for using a two-stage scan detection with a Bro cluster: first, each node searches locally for scanners by looking for hosts contacting more than addr_scan_trigger destinations. Those hosts which do are then globally tracked throughout the cluster by &synchronizing the scan detector tables. - When Bro serializes functions, it now does so by default using only their name, rather than their full value (Robin Sommer). This prevents propagation of expiration functions associated with tables and sets. Note, currently there is no mechanism provided to switch from the default behavior, but the internal hooks are in place to do so. - The new built-in variable trace_output_file gives the name of the -w output trace file (Robin Sommer). - Bro no longer installs new file rotation timers when shutting down (Robin Sommer). - The new policy scripts remote-print-id{,-reply}.bro support convenient access to printing the identifiers of a remote Bro (Robin Sommer). You use the script remote-print-id.bro to request and receive the printing; the remote Bro must have loaded remote-print-id-reply.bro in order to process the request. Example use: bro -e 'redef PrintID::dst="" PrintID::id=""' remote-print-id - scan.bro has been heavily modified to better support distributed scan analysis (Matthias Vallentin and Robin Sommer). - The check for unused event handlers is now turned off by default (Robin Sommer). To enable, use "redef check_for_unused_event_handlers = T". - The new script drop.bro has been split off from scan.bro to isolate the logic concerning dropping addresses to block scans (Robin Sommer). - The new -l flag lists each script as it is loaded (Robin Sommer). - Textual descriptions of identifiers now include their attributes (Robin Sommer). - The new predefined function prefixed_id() returns a session identifier with its peer-ID prepended if it's associated with a remote Bro (Robin Sommer). This is now used when generating writing log files. - remote.bro now assigns a priority of -10 to its bro_init() event handler to allow others a chance to modify destinations (Robin Sommer). - A large number of BinPAC updates (Ruoming Pang and Robin Sommer). - The new built-in type_name(v): string returns the name of the type of the value v (Vern Paxson). For example, "typename(5.2)" returns "double". This function is mainly for internal debugging (i.e., finding mismatches between values generated by the event engine versus how their type is expected by the script layer). - The new built-in str_shell_escape() does some basic escaping on strings that will be passed to system() (Christian Kreibich). Note, this function isn't ready (robust enough) for routine use, however. - The new built-in disable_print_hook(file) acts the same as the attribute &disable_print_hook (Robin Sommer). - The new script terminate-connection.bro factors out the terminate_connection() functionality that used to be in conn.bro (Robin Sommer). - The new attribute &group= can be associated with event handlers to group them together into a set that can be manipulated as a whole (Robin Sommer). is a string reflecting the name given to the group. The built-in enable_event_group(group: string) turns on all the analyzers in a given group, and disable_event_group(group: string) deactivates them. - The new attribute &raw_output applies to variables of type file, disabling escaping of non-printable characters (Seth Hall). - You can now iterate over the characters in a string value using a "for" loop, e.g., "for ( c in str ) ..." (Robin Sommer). - The new built-in function cat_sep%(sep: string, def: string, ...%): string works similarly to cat(), except that it (a) separates the values by "sep" and (b) substitutes "def" for empty strings (Seth Hall). - The function string_escape() now takes a string of characters to escape rather than a single character (Robin Sommer). Each character in the string is preceded by '\' in the return value (also any embedded '\'s, as before). - The new built-in function global_ids() returns a table of all global identifiers along with associated information (Robin Sommer). The return value has type table[string] of script_id, indexed by the name of the identifier and yielding records with the following fields: type script_id: record { type_name: string; exported: bool; constant: bool; enum_constant: bool; redefinable: bool; value: any &optional; }; - The new script function find_last(str: string, re: pattern) returns the last occurrence of the given pattern in the given string, or an empty string if no match (Robin Sommer). Note that this function returns the match that starts at the largest index in the string, which is not necessarily the longest match. For example, a pattern of /.*/ will return just the final character in the string. - The new script variable record_all_packets, if redef'd to T (default F), instructs Bro to record every packet it processes (Robin Sommer). Prior to introducing this variable, Bro applied a few heuristics to reduce recording volume. Setting this variable also causes packets to be recorded very early in processing, which can be helpful for debugging crashes. - If the new script flag ssl_log_ciphers is set to T (default), ssl.bro logs the ciphers seen (Robin Sommer). - Much more expanded Time Machine support, now located in policy/time-machine/ (Robin Sommer), - The new command line option --status-file (alias -U) specifies the name of a file into which Bro will write an indicator of its current processing status (Robin Sommer). Possible values include "INITIALIZING", "RUNNING", "TERMINATING", "TERMINATED". - The new policy script targeted-scan.bro looks for repeated access from the same source to the same server, to detect things like SSH password-guessing attacks (Jim Mellander). - The "alternative" style for printing strings (i.e., a fmt() argument of "%As") now renders the raw string, other than escape-expanding embedded NULs (Vern Paxson). This change may be temporary, pending development of more fine-grained control over string rendering. - For now we have removed the %S functionality for fmt() (Robin Sommer). %S was meant to print "raw" strings, but later processing of such printing still introduces artifacts. - GeoIP information now includes latitude and longitude (Seth Hall). - ssh.bro now supports the variable skip_processing_after_handshake which directs the event engine to omit any further processing of an SSH connection after its initial handshake (Seth Hall and Robin Sommer). This can help with performance for large file transfers but precludes some kinds of analyses (e.g., tracking connection size). This change also adds a scope of "SSH". - Email notification of notices now allows for separate destinations depending on notice type (in particular, a regular mail destination versus a pager destination), and also escapes the notice to prevent injection attacks (Seth Hall and Robin Sommer). - The new policy script conn-flood.bro is a simple connection-flooding detector, mainly meant as a demonstration (Robin Sommer). - A large number of additions to the TLS/SSL known-ciphers suite (Seth Hall). - Serialization now uses 64-bit IDs to cache items rather than 32-bit, for robustness during long-running execution (Robin Sommer). - The new script variable tcp_max_initial_window specifies, for flows for which ACKs have never been seen, the maximum volume of initial data after which Bro will assume that it is seeing only one side of the connection and will not buffer data for consistency checking awaiting the later arrival of ACKs (Robin Sommer). It defaults to 4 KB. (Note, this used to be an internal value, so the behavior is not new.) Set to 0 to turn off this functionality and have Bro attempt to track all such flows. - The new script variable tcp_max_above_hole_without_any_acks specifies, for flows for which ACKs have never been seen, the maximum volume of data above a sequence hole that Bro will tolerate for a connection before giving up on tracking the flow (Robin Sommer). It defaults to 4 KB. (Note, this differs from tcp_max_initial_window in that this threshold applies to sequence holes rather than the beginning of flows. Like tcp_max_initial_window this used to be an internal value.) Set to 0 to turn off this functionality. - The new script variable tcp_excessive_data_without_further_acks specifies a threshold similar to tcp_max_above_hole_without_any_acks, but for flows for which Bro has seen ACKs (Robin Sommer). It defaults to 10 MB. Set to 0 to turn off the functionality. - Equal signs ("=") in text for notices are now escaped when using the tagged format to keep them unambiguous from the "=" delimiters (Robin Sommer). - The final tallies for notices are now processed as NoticeTally NOTICE's rather than directly alarm'd (Robin Sommer). - WeirdActivity notices now include an associated connection when appropriate (Robin Sommer). - Support for large (> 2^32 bytes) pcap trace files (Po-Ching Lin). - Scoped names ("...::...") are now allowed in signature "eval" constructs (Christian Kreibich). - scan.bro is now decoupled from conn.bro, i.e., you can @load the latter without getting the former (Vern Paxson). As part of this change, the logic to invoke TRW is now in scan.bro. - weird.bro has been updated with a number of missing Weird's (Vern Paxson). - If when using inter-Bro communication the child Bro process terminates, it now also terminates the parent process (Robin Sommer). - BinPAC analyzers now interoperate with DPD (Robin Sommer). - Some http.bro processing options are now exported so they can be accessed in other scripts (Robin Sommer). - SMTP analysis now applies to port 587/tcp as well as 25/tcp (Robin Sommer). - $conn is now set in ServerFound notices (Robin Sommer). - You can now create empty sets and tables using set() and table(), i.e., the usual set/table constructors with no arguments (Vern Paxson). By themselves, these have an unspecified type - you can't use them directly other than to assign them. For example, local bad_guys: set[addr]; ... bad_guys = set(); # start over assuming no bad guys - A number of scripts have been (slightly) simplified to use the new empty set()/table() constructors (Vern Paxson). Note that these still aren't usable for field assignments in record constructors, nor for attributes like &default = ... - Removed unused syntax for declaring sets based on a list of initial values (Vern Paxson). - set() and table() can now be used as arguments to function calls (Vern Paxson). - The vestigial &match attribute has been removed. - POP3 is now recognized using Dynamic Protocol Detection (Seth Hall). - The new event expected_connection_seen(c: connection, a: AnalyzerTag) is generated whenever a connection is seen for which we have previously scheduled an analyzer via expect_connection() (Robin Sommer). - The new built-in capture_state_updates logs all changes applied to &synchronized variables, in a fashion similar to the capture_events() built-in (Robin Sommer). An accompanying policy script, capture-state-updates.bro, turns this on to the file state-updates.bst. - If the new script variable suppress_local_output is set (default: F), Bro suppresses printing to local files if there's a receiver for print_hook events (Robin Sommer). This option is however ignored for files with a &disable_print_hook attribute. - The new notice action filter function file_if_remote specifies that notices from sent from remote source addresses should have an action NOTICE_FILE (Robin Sommer). - The new notice action filter function file_local_bro_notices specifies that notices generated by the local Bro instance (as opposed to a remote peer) should have an action NOTICE_FILE (Robin Sommer). - An arbitrary tag can now be past to post-processors for log rotation (Robin Sommer). - Default inactivity timeouts for interactive services shortened to 1 hour (Robin Sommer). - The scanning variables distinct_{peers,ports,low_ports} are now redef'able (Robin Sommer). - The new -S (--summary-only) option for site-report.pl directs to only generate connection summaries (Brian Tierney) - More useful default config file for edit-brorule.pl (Brian Tierney). - Bro now includes a test suite in testing/istate/ for its "independent state" functionality (Robin Sommer). - Support for parallel builds via make -j (Christian Kreibich). - Bro's default search path now includes includes policy/sigs/ and policy/time-machine/ (Robin Sommer). - Bro's internal processing of interprocess communication has been significantly overhauled to prevent potentially fatal race conditions (Robin Sommer). - Bro now checks calls to fmt() at compile-time to ensure that the correct number of arguments are present (Vern Paxson). This is useful in addition to Bro's run-time checking for arguments matching their corresponding format-specifiers in the case of rarely-executed statements that might not generate such run-time checks in routine testing. - The ports associated with Telnet and Rlogin are now redef'able (Robin Sommer). - MIME processing now removes leading whitespace from MIME headers (Sanmeet Bhatia and Robin Sommer). - TCP "weird" events reported by the connection compressor now match (other than a few rare corner-cases) those produced for normal TCP processing (rmkml and Robin Sommer). - Added Scan::suppress_UDP_scan_checks to control false positives on scan detection in environments with P2P protocols that use UDP (Vern Paxson). - The internal analyzer interface now includes an EndOfData() method that analyzers can use to report that all of a message has been delivered (Robin Sommer). - Fix for a significant memory leak in processing UDP when using -w (Robin Sommer). Note: this change turns off by default trace rewriting for generic UDP traffic. - Two serious regular expression bugs fixed (Vern Paxson). In the first, searching for a regular expression inside a string would fail if the pattern occurred only after an embedded newline. In the second, insufficient buffer was allocated when compiling regular expressions, leading to memory corruption. - Base64 decoding bug fixes (Christian Kreibich and Ruoming Pang). - Automatic rotation of files is now disabled for contents files written by the TCP reassembler, which otherwise leads to mangled files (Robin Sommer). - Bro now ships with an updated version of libpcap (0.9.8), which hopefully fixes problems managing trace files > 4 GB in size. - Significant bug fixes for gzip- and deflate-encoded Web items (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for secondary-filter.bro (Vern Paxson). - Removed a naming ambiguity regarding TCP states (Vern Paxson). - Bug fix for signature scanner not matching all of its input (Vern Paxson). - Bug fix for using port values in signatures (Robin Sommer). - Minor policy script tweaks: state management for weird's, processing of Notice tags associated with connections, and dependencies for irc-bot.bro (Robin Sommer). - aux/ portability fixes (Vern Paxson). - Workarounds added for a BinPAC deficiency, which is that code in %cleanup clauses can also be executed during recovery from exceptions when parsing new data. This means that any delete's or Unref()'s need to also set the corresponding pointer to nil (Vern Paxson). - Bug fix for crashes with the non-BinPAC SSL analyzer (Robin Sommer). - Tweak to peer-status.bro since Bro now requires events to be declared prior to reference in a "schedule" statement (Robin Sommer). - The signature keyword "enable" now optionally accepts the syntax "foo:bar" to specify "activate analyzer bar as a child of analyzer foo" (Robin Sommer). This is used for example for an XML-over-HTTP analyzer that's in the works. - irc-bot-syslog.bro now uses open_log_file() for its log file (including the logging suffix) rather than a direct open (Vern Paxson). - Bug fix for tracking Blaster across a Bro Cluster (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for the HTTP BinPAC analyzer chopping the trailing character off of HTTP headers when generating the http_all_headers event (Gregor Maier). - Bug fix for HTTP chunked items for which the chunk size line was terminated by CRLF but the CR and LF came in separate packets (Gregor Maier). - A bug has been fixed that would cause partial lines (for line-oriented protocols) to fail to be processed when a connection terminated (Robin Sommer). - Bro no longer treats a signal arriving before a previous signal has been processed as fatal, nor does it attempt processing of a termination signal if seemingly there are no race conditions to worry about (Robin Sommer). Both of these changes are an attempt to improve Bro's robustness. - Fix for attributes such as &encrypt not working in initial declarations but only in later redef's (Seth Hall and Robin Sommer). - Fixes for memory leaks in SSL processing (Seth Hall and Robin Sommer). - Fix for POP3 analyzer to not treat lines like "." as message terminators (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for crashes arising from nil pointers in list expressions (Seth Hall and Robin Sommer). - Bug fix: a signature's "enable" would activate the corresponding analyzer even if no event handlers were defined for it (Robin Sommer). - Bug fixes to prevent crashes when mixing set_contents_file() with subsequent explicit close(), and to ensure all data written to file upon connection tear-down (Gert Doering and Robin Sommer). - Configuration support for MacPorts and Fink package management systems (Christian Kreibich & Vern Paxson). - Communication-only Bro's now send out email alarms (Robin Sommer). - Writes to a file that fail due are now run-time errors rather than fatal internal errors, since often these occur due to the disk being full (Robin Sommer). - Byte-order bug fix for lookup_location() (Robin Sommer). - BinPAC portability fix for 64-bit machines (Bernhard Ager and Robin Sommer). - Portability fixes for newer versions of gcc (Jan Gerrit Goebel and Robin Sommer). - Some support for porting to Solaris (Stephan Toggweiler). - Connection compressor bug fix for source and destination having the same IP address, such as when monitoring loopback (Robin Sommer). - Connection compressor bug fix for connections with multiple SYNs (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for using already-declared local variables for looping over vectors in a "for" loop (Robin Sommer & Vern Paxson). - Bug fix for not processing truncated UDP packets (Tom Kho and Robin Sommer). - Bounds-check added to BinPAC-generated code (Tom Kho and Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for checking whether an IPv6 address is part of a subnet (Seth Hall). - Bug fixes for crashes relating to asynchronous DNS lookups performed at start-up (Robin Sommer). These changes also lowered the timeout before assuming failure from 20 seconds down to 5 seconds. - Portability and const-ness fixes (Kevin Lo and Robin Sommer). - Suppression of some content-gap complaints when running on traces that have been filtered down to only TCP control packets (Robin Sommer). - Removed unnecessary dependency in notice-action-filters.bro that led to errors when loading icmp.bro by itself (Vern Paxson). - Bug fix for potential infinite loop in client communiation (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix in reference counting that could eventually lead to roll-over (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix in communication initialization (Robin Sommer). - Internal documentation fix: timers are specified using absolute time, not relative (Robin Sommer). - Performance improvement for built-in find_all() function when running on large strings (Robin Sommer). - Memory leak fixes (Robin Sommer, Bernhard Ager, Christian Kreibich). - Bug fix for error recovery when encountering an unknown link layer (Bernhard Ager). - Bug fix for reversing client & server in a connection (Po-Ching Lin). - Bug fix for packet_contents when capture length exceeds the IP payload length due to Ethernet frame padding (Christian Kreibich). - Bug fix for tcp_packet event erroneously including Ethernet padding in its contents (Vern Paxson). - Bug fix for lookup_connection built-in (Seth Hall). - Portability nit for libedit tarball (Vern Paxson). - Broccoli portability fix for NetBSD (Christoph Leuzinger). - Type-checking for script-level event invocation was completedly broken - now fixed (Vern Paxson). - Portability fixes for different versions of g++/STL (Nicholas Weaver and Vern Paxson). - Fix for dynamic detection of SSL via DPD (Robin Sommer). - IPv6 portability fix for BinPAC-based DNS analyzer (Vern Paxson). Note, more portability work is needed for it. - Bug fix for bifcl error messages (Vern Paxson). - Minor bug fix for remote communication, plus some improved communication logging (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for &printhook (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for error message output (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for termination cleanup (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for some Rlogin corner cases (Robin Sommer & Vern Paxson). - Bug fix for bifcl generation of "interval" types (Vern Paxson). - Bug fix for getting connection memory statistics when Bro is exiting (Robin Sommer). - Config fix: --enable-debug now turns off -O2 for gcc (Robin Sommer). - Bug fixes for "heavy" analysis (Vern Paxson). - Broccoli bug fixes for types net and port (Robin Sommer). - Bug fixes for Telnet environment options (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for accessing remote peer description (Robin Sommer). - A fix for the connection compressor generating new_connection too late (Robin Sommer). - Fixes for DAG support, including configuration and multiple interfaces (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for serializing time-stamps of table entries (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for dealing with peer IDs for remote communication (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix to avoid installing timers when timers have already been canceled (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for interplay between serializing connections and connection compressor (Robin Sommer). - Memory leak fix for enum's (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for files being closed prior to bro_done() (Vern Paxson). - aux/broccoli/contrib was not included in distribution (Robin Sommer). - Auto-configuration bug fix for BinPAC (Craig Leres). - Bug fix for dynamic protocol detection (Robin Sommer). - A number of configuration fixes for installation and portability (Christian Kreibich, Brian Tierney, Robin Sommer, Dan Kopecek). 1.3 Mon Jul 16 22:11:00 PDT 2007 - The Bro manual has been wikified at: http://www.bro-ids.org/wiki/index.php/User_Manual and this is the format in which it will evolve in the future (Christian Kreibich). - Much more extensive support for SMB, NetBIOS and NCP (Chris Grier). - The new attribute &priority=n defines the order of execution for handlers of the same event (Robin Sommer). Handlers with higher priority are executed first. n is an integer expression that must evaluate to a constant when the script is loaded. Example: > cat foo.bro event bro_init() &priority = -5 { print -5; } event bro_init() &priority = 5 { print 5; } event bro_init() { print 0; } # default priority=0 > ./bro foo.bro 5 0 -5 The connection_state_remove() handler in conn.bro now has priority -10 and therefore executes after all other handlers for this event. This fixes a long-standing problem of sometimes $addl fields not showing up in connection summaries. - The new expressions record(...), table(...), set(...) and vector(...) are constructors for the corresponding aggregate types (Vern Paxson). For example, record($foo = "hi", $bar = -6) is the same as the existing constructor [$foo = "hi", $bar = -6] For tables, sets, and vectors, the "..." values within the ()'s have the same syntax as those that you can list in variable initializations. For example, table([1, T] = "black", [4, F] = "red") returns a table of type "table[count, bool] of string". set(4, 3, -1) is a value of type "set[int]". - You can associate attributes with table() and set() constructors (Robin Sommer). For example: local s = set(1.2.3.4) &read_expire = 5 secs; associates a 5-second read expiration with the set assigned to s. - Bro now explicitly supports port numbers reflecting a transport protocol type of "unknown" (Christian Kreibich). Currently, this means "not TCP, UDP or ICMP". The numerical value of such a port is the IP protocol, so ranges from 0..255. For example: global p: port = 0/unknown; print fmt("%s", p); print fmt("p is TCP? %s", get_port_transport_proto(p) == tcp); print fmt("p is unknown? %s", get_port_transport_proto(p) == unknown_transport); yields 0/unknown p is TCP? F p is unknown? T In comparisons of different protocol types, the following holds: unknown < TCP < UDP < ICMP. - If your system supports "GeoIP" (see http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity for a corresponding city database), then the new script function lookup_location(a: addr): geo_location returns a record of geographic information associated with an address (Seth Hall). The geo_location record has $country_code, $region and $city fields. If no information is available, each of these will be set to empty strings. If Bro hasn't been configured with GeoIP support, or if the address is IPv6 that cannot be directly converted to IPv4, then Bro produces a run-time error and likewise returns empty strings. - Signature-matching on HTTP components now processes the URI with escape sequences expanded (Robin Sommer). Ideally, there would be two signature keywords, one for decoded URIs (corresponding to this case) and one that allows matching against the URI as originally transmitted. - The connection compressor is no longer considered experimental, and is used by default (Robin Sommer). - The new function lookup_hostname(host: string): addr_set asychronously looks up the IPv4 address(es) of the given host via DNS (Robin Sommer). Like lookup_addr(), this function can only be used within a "when" statement. - The new built-in raw_bytes_to_v4_addr(s: string): addr takes a string that points to at least 4 bytes, and returns an address corresponding to interpreting these as being an IPv4 address in network order (Vern Paxson; suggested by Mike Dopheide). - Trace-rewriting support for DNS, SMB (Chris Grier). - The new script function find_all(str: string, re: pattern): string_set returns a string_set giving all occurrences of the pattern "re" in the string "str" (Robin Sommer). (Note that string_set's are unordered.) - The new policy script save-peer-status.bro generates a log to peer_status.$BRO_LOG_SUFFIX of updates received from communication peers (Robin Sommer). - The policy script print-filter.bro now includes two (scoped) variables, terminate_bro and to_file, which control whether to exit after printing the filter (default T) and whether to write to the log file pcap_filter.$BRO_LOG_SUFFIX or (default) to stdout (Robin Sommer). - The new script variable check_for_unused_event_handlers controls whether Bro checks for unused event handlers (Robin Sommer). It defaults to T, which was the past behavior (always report). - Bro now terminates if the only pending activity is future timers (Robin Sommer). It used to wait for those timers to expire, but this can cause fundamental problems if the timers are associated with table management (since these might never completely drain). - Tables and sets inside of records are now initialized to empty values rather than uninitialized (Vern Paxson). - A new variable allow_services_from (in hot.bro) complements the existing allow_service_to variable (Brian Tierney). It specifies that access to the given service from the given originator is allowed. - global_sizes() no longer reports internal variables (Robin Sommer). - The IRC analyzer is now activated if any of the (many) IRC event handlers are defined (Robin Sommer). - The default value for tcp_close_delay is now 5 sec rather than 0 sec (Robin Sommer). This prevents some spurious connection events. - Improved logic for dealing with "reversed" connections such as backscatter (Vern Paxson). - You can now left-justify fields when using fmt() with "%-" like in sprintf (Christian Kreibich). - Updates to DNS query types (Larry Leviton). - Added mechanism to http-header.bro to skip printing some HTTP headers (Larry Leviton). - The IrcHotWord notice now sets the associated connection (Robin Sommer). - If a notice has a tag, it's no longer overridden (Robin Sommer). - ServerFound notices now set the port field (Robin Sommer). - The built-in lookup_ID() now returns the string "" if the ID does not exist, rather than a run-time error (Robin Sommer). - The new tuning option ProtocolDetector::suppress_servers specifies a set of analyzers for which Bro generates ServerFound notices, but not ProtocolFound (Robin Sommer). This both reduces log file size and conserves memory. - A new notice_action_filter, tally_notice_type_and_ignore, works the same as tally_notice_type but returns IGNORE (Robin Sommer) - Setting summary_interval == 0 disables the creation of irc-bots.summary.log (Robin Sommer). - If you @load foo and a directory "foo" is in your path, Bro no longer tries to load it (Robin Sommer). - A number of BinPAC fixes and enhancements (Ruoming Pang, Chris Grier and Vern Paxson). - BinPAC now resides in aux/binpac rather than src/binpac (Ruoming Pang and Christian Kreibich). This reflects a decoupling of it from Bro so that it can be used to generate protocol analyzers for other projects too. - Removed example Inktomi entries from skip_scan_sources initialization, since they no longer exist (Vern Paxson). - The variable make notice_once_per_orig_tally_interval is now redef'able (Brian Tierney). - SIGPROF to the communication child process now logs resource stats to remote.log (Matthias Vallentin). - The new built-in getpid(): count returns Bro's process ID (Robin Sommer). - Patterns for detecting IRC-based bots updated (Robin Sommer). - irc-bot-syslog now logs just bots, not all IRC client/servers (Robin Sommer). - The new variable suppress_notice_actions in notice.bro suppresses notice_actions events for selected notice types (Robin Sommer). - Files opened during operation now rotate just like those opened at startup (Robin Sommer). - ResourceStats now also logs elapsed time and the reported number of packets-on-the-link (Mark Dedlow). - Printing a "file" value now produces its name (Robin Sommer). - Removed deliberate truncation of payload in port 80 FIN packets (Vern Paxson). - remote.log now includes received peer_descriptions (Robin Sommer). - Significant POP3 analyzer speed-ups (Vern Paxson). - Updated README (Vern Paxson). - Fix for "@load a" followed by "@load a.bro" not loading the same file twice (Robin Sommer). - Bug fixes for propagating state operations to uninitialized variables and for spurious state inconsistency messags (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for sending final sync-points during pseudo-realtime mode (Robin Sommer). - Fix for possible buffer overflow (Christian Kreibich). - Bug fix for spurious end-of-file's during inter-Bro communication (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for dpd_match_only_beginning=F (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for updating timestamps (Christian Kreibich). - Bug fix for skipping ADU processing in adu.bro (Christian Kreibich and Zhichun Li). - Fix for ICMPs that carry ICMP headers (or non-TCP/UDP/ICMP headers) within them (Vern Paxson). - Fix for files being rotated after the timer queue has been deleted (Vern Paxson). - Bug fix for signature-matching with IPv6 subnets (Vern Paxson). - Bug fix for connection compressor setting connection origin (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for interconn.bro when processing peculiar connections (Vern Paxson). - Fix for off-by-one buffer in sscanf call (Christian Kreibich). - Fixed inefficiency/warning flagged by g++ (Vern Paxson). - Bug fix for NUL string termination in SMB processing (Zhichun Li). - Fix for over-ref'ing of file Val's (Vern Paxson). - Fixes for some g++ warnings (Christian Kreibich, Vern Paxson). - gcc 3.4.2 portability fixes (Robin Sommer). - Minor build fixes for Broccoli, including a version bump to match that of Bro. See aux/broccoli/ChangeLog for details. - distcheck fixes (Christian Kreibich). - Configuration portability fixes (Matthias Vallentin, Jean-philippe Luiggi). - OpenBSD portability fixes (Jean-philippe Luiggi, Christian Kreibich). 1.2.1 Mon Dec 11 16:22:58 PST 2006 - Fixed delayed triggering of new_connection events when using the connection compressor. - Fixed tracking of first packet in TCP analyzer. (Reported by Guohan Lu) - The syslog built-in got lost during some previous merge. - Fixed crash if local variable is given as timeout value for table. (Reported by Mike Wood.) - Fixed using "time" values as table indices. - Added ssh to default brolite DPD configuration. - Fixed catching up to real-time in case of lull. - Fixed Broccoli "BRO_DATA_FORMAT_VERSION" to match version in Bro. - Fixed Makefile problem in doc directory. - Fixed Makefile dependency problem in binpac directory. - Added Linux tuning to brolite install script. - Modified Makefile to include broccoli/contrib. - Adding missing initialization to remote serializer. - Minor documentation updates for reference manual and Broccoli. 1.2 Tue Oct 17 12:09:49 PDT 2006 - Bro now supports DPD, dynamic protocol detection (Robin Sommer, Holger Dreger, and Michael Mai). With DPD, Bro can analyze protocols regardless of what port numbers they use: it infers the protocol based on which application analyzers can parse it without error. Adding this functionality involved extensive changes to Bro's internals, but also now enables multiple Bro analyzers to work on the same connection, either concurrently or one nested inside the other (we have not taken much advantage of this latter capability yet, but see the FTP events discussed below). There are a number of new policy scripts, events, and variables associated with DPD processing, as follows. Scripts: You activate DPD by @load'ing dpd.bro. It in turn instructs Bro to load the signature file policy/sigs/dpd.sig. Note that Bro uses signatures to expedite deciding which analyzers to try on a given connection; it does *not* simply use the signatures to make the determination of which protocol is in use, as this is insufficiently robust. (At this point, Bro provides signatures for FTP, IRC, HTTP, SMTP, and SSH. In the future we plan to add other protocols.) Along with dpd.bro, you need to @load detect-protocols.bro or detect-protocols-http.bro. The former enables general detection of application-layer protocols, while the latter does further inspection of HTTP sessions to characterize applications running on top of HTTP such as Gnutella or SOAP. (Loading dpd.bro is separate from loading one of these scripts because in principle Bro could use a different means than signatures to activate the analyzers, although currently it does not.) If you @load dyn-disable.bro, then once an analyzer determines that it does not match a given connection, it is deactivated (and a Notice is generated). Otherwise, it still proceeds to try its best to analyze the connection (to possibly be more robust against evasion). The scripts dce.bro and smb.bro enable DPD for the Windows DCE and SMB protocols, respectively. (Note that analysis of these protocols is undergoing a major expansion, not yet complete.) Events: event protocol_confirmation(c: connection, atype: count, aid: count) Generated when the given connection has been confirmed as conforming with the application type (protocol) specified by atype. aid is a globally unique analyzer ID that identifies a particular analyzer instance. The values for atype are symbolic names associated with each of Bro's analyzers, such as ANALYZER_IRC. See the initialization at the beginning of Analyzer.cc for the full set of names. The function analyzer_name(atype: count): string translates these symbolic names into text. For example, analyzer_name(ANALYZER_IRC) yields "IRC". event protocol_violation(c: connection, atype: count, aid: count, reason: string) Generated when the given connection has been found to violate the protocol of the given application type, with "reason" giving details. Variables: dpd_buffer_size: count (default 1024) Specifies how much pending data Bro keeps for connections that have not been classified yet. Once this fills, the data is deleted, though classification can still continue (see below). dpd_match_only_beginning: bool (default T) If set, specifies that Bro should stop signature matching if it has processed dpd_buffer_size bytes. dpd_ignore_ports: bool (default F) If set, then Bro does not take into consideration the port numbers associated with connections when attempting to classify them (which can otherwise help the process in some cases). dpd_reassemble_first_packets: bool (default T) If set, then Bro does TCP stream reassembly before applying signature-matching to detect protocols. likely_server_ports: set[port] Specifies a list of ports that Bro will consider as likely used by servers. For example, if Bro sees a connection that has already been established (so it does not know which side sent the initial SYN), and one side uses a port in this set, then it will assume that that side is the server (connection responder). The set is empty unless you populate it or @load server-ports.bro, which specifies a large number of values. dpd_config: table[AnalyzerTag] of dpd_protocol_config Specifies the DPD configuration associated with each tag. The type dpd_protocol_config is simply: type dpd_protocol_config: record { ports: set[port] &optional; }; i.e., an optional $ports field specifying a set of ports associatd with the tag. For example, ftp.bro now includes the equivalent of: redef dpd_config += { [ANALYZER_FTP] = [$ports = 21/tcp] }; Functions: The function expect_connection(orig: addr, resp: addr, resp_p: port, analyzer: count, tout: interval) is called to alert Bro that a new connection is expected, initiated by orig to a server running on resp's port resp_p (note: orig's port is not specified) which will correspond to the specified analyzer (e.g., "FILE", which is used to analyze files transferred by FTP - see next item). "tout" is a timeout to associate with the waiting. The function function disable_analyzer(cid: conn_id, aid: count) instructs Bro to disable the analyzer that generated the current event, assuming the analyzer is associated with the given connection ID. This is used by the dyn-disable.bro script discussed above. - A much more complete BinPAC compiler, along with new HTTP, DNS, and RPC/Portmap analyzers in binpac (Ruoming Pang). The flag "--use-binpac" activates the BinPAC-based analyzers (currently for HTTP and DNS). See www.cs.princeton.edu/~rpang/binpac-paper.pdf for a description of BinPAC, and let Ruoming know if you are interested in using BinPAC to build new analyzers. - A new type of analyzer, FILE, analyzes the contents of a connection as though it were a data file (Robin Sommer). Currently, it can generate two events: event file_transferred(c: connection, prefix: string, descr: string, mime_type: string) Indicates that the connection transferred a file. "prefix" is the beginning of the file's data; "descr" and "mime_type" are indicators of the file's type, as reported by the "libmagic" library. descr/mime_type are only set if Bro is configured on a system that includes the "libmagic" library. event file_virus(c: connection, virname: string) Indicates the connection transferred an executable corresponding to a known virus of the given name. This functionality is only available if Bro is configured on a system that includes the "libclamav" library. Note, this analyzer is enabled via a call to expect_connection by the FTP analyzer. - New events relating to IRC analysis (Robin Sommer): event irc_client(c: connection, prefix: string, data: string) Generated upon seing a client message sent over the given IRC connection. "prefix" is the command's prefix as defined by the IRC protocol. It is used by servers to indicate the true origin of the message; it may be empty. "data" contains the message. event irc_server(c: connection, prefix: string, data: string) Same for server messages. event irc_user_message(c: connection, user: string, host: string, server: string, real_name: string) Generated upon seeing an IRC "USER" command. event irc_password_message(c: connection, password: string) Generated upon seeing an IRC "PASS" command. event irc_channel_topic(c: connection, channel: string, topic: string) Generated upon seeing an IRC server reply that includes the channel topic. event irc_global_users(c: connection, prefix: string, msg: string) Generated upon seeing an IRC server reply that includes a count of the number of IRC users. - The new experimental script irc-bot.bro tracks IRC-based bots (Robin Sommer). The accompanying script irc-bot-syslog.bro syslog's the state of the bot analysis every IrcBot::summary_interval seconds (default 1 minute). - The new script proxy.bro looks for open Web proxies by matching incoming requests to a server with outgoing requests it makes (Robin Sommer). It generates HTTPProxyFound Notices when it finds one. - Changes to notices.bro (Robin Sommer): - notice_policy_item's now have a default $result of NOTICE_FILE and a default $priority of 1. - The new notice_action_filter, notice_alarm_per_orig, alarms on the first NoticeType from a specific source. Subsequent instances are tallied. - notice_action_filters now reside in the new script notice-action-filter.bro (automatically loaded by notice.bro). - The notice actions NOTICE_ALARM_PER_CONN, NOTICE_ALARM_PER_ORIG, and NOTICE_ALARM_ONCE have been removed, as they were never actually implemented. - If the notice_policy returns IGNORE or FILE, the action_filters filters are no longer consulted. - A new attribute for tables and sets, &mergeable, changes the semantics of assignments, as follows (Robin Sommer). Given two &mergeable tables/sets A and B, an assignment "A = B" becomes actually a join "A = A \cup B" (i.e., union). The envisoned use is to help avoid race conditions when doing remote state synchronization. - The semantics of &synchronized expire_funcs has changed (Robin Sommer). Now, when a table entry is expired and the operation is propagated to a a peer, the peer will call its expire_function. - TRW analysis now skips UDP traffic because it currently treats all UDP connections as failures (Robin Sommer). - trw.bro has been split into trw-impl.bro (the algorithm) and trw.bro (which simply activates the analysis), to facilitate writing scripts that have hooks into TRW analysis but don't presume it's active (Robin Sommer). - The option report_remote_notices in remote.bro has been replaced by a new script you include, remote-report-notices.bro (Robin Sommer). - The new function connect_peer() explicitly connects to a remote host (Robin Sommer). - The new script remote-send-id.bro sends the current value of an ID to a remote Bro and then terminates processing (Robin Sommer). It's intended for use from the command-line, as in bro -e "redef dst="" id="" remote-send-id The other scripts must set up the connection. is an index into Remote::destinations corresponding to the destination. - New built-ins {suspend,resume}_state_updates() can be called to temporarily avoid propagating updates to &sync'ed values (Robin Sommer). This can avoid duplicated activity. - The new function terminate_communication() instructs Bro to end its communication with remote peers (Robin Sommer). - The new event remote_state_access_performed is raised when remote state access has been performed (Robin Sommer). This is primarily for debugging. - The log() built-in has been renamed to ln() to avoid conflict (Vern Paxson). - bifcl now generates event generation wrapper functions from event.bif (Ruoming Pang). For example, to generate event http_reply, currently one writes: val_list* vl = new val_list; vl->append(BuildConnVal()); vl->append(new StringVal(fmt("%.1f", reply_version))); vl->append(new Val(reply_code, TYPE_COUNT)); if ( reply_reason_phrase ) vl->append(reply_reason_phrase); else vl->append(new StringVal("")); ConnectionEvent(http_reply, vl); In the future, one will be able to just call bro_event_http_reply(), and the code generated by bifcl looks like: void bro_event_http_reply(Connection* c, StringVal* version, bro_uint_t code, StringVal* reason) { val_list* vl = new val_list; vl->append(c->BuildConnVal()); vl->append(version); vl->append(new Val(code, TYPE_COUNT)); vl->append(reason); mgr.QueueEvent(http_reply, vl, SOURCE_LOCAL, c); } Accompanying this change is a semantic shift to types "string" and "port" in .bif files. They used to be translated to C++ types BroString* and uint32, respectively. Now they are translated to StringVal* and PortVal*. The functions in bro.bif are changed accordingly, and please be aware of this change when you write built-in functions in future. Also for this change, the parameter 'new' for rsh_request has been renamed 'new_session', as 'new' is a reserved word for C++. - Some ICMP "connections" now have services identified ("icmp-echo", "icmp-unreach") rather than just listing the service as "other" (Ruoming Pang). - The new option remote_trace_sync_interval specifies an interval after which each Bro will stop processing its trace and wait for all others to signal that they have reached the same time (Robin Sommer). The intent is support for operating Bro in a distributed cluster fashion (and in particular for debugging such clusters when running off-line on traces). This option only works in pseudo-realtime mode, and requires the new global remote_trace_sync_peers to give the total number of remote peers (not including self). Signaling is done via a new communication message type. - Extensions for DNS transformation/anonymization, including introduction of trace transformation for protocols other than TCP (Jason Lee). Not yet fully developed/debugged. - Extensions for HTTP transformation/anonymization (Martin Casado). Not yet fully developed/debugged. - The $conn field is now included in HTTPProxyFound notices (Robin Sommer). - Changed service inference algorithm to favor lower-numbered likely-servers over higher-numbered ones (Vern Paxson). - In pseudo-realtime mode, Bro now uses real-time for deciding which peer should send state (Robin Sommer). - Time synchronization for Bro's running on traces in pseudo-realtime mode added (Robin Sommer). - Avoidance of false content gaps improved when sorting packets with out-of-order timestamps (Ruoming Pang). - Packets from the packet sorter are now more robustly drained upon termination of input (Ruoming Pang). - Documentation for deep-copy updated (Christian Kreibich). - Nasty fragment reassembly bug fixed (Vern Paxson). - Serious bugs in EDNS0 processing fixed (Vern Paxson). - Fixed significant misfeature of interconn.bro that stopped all processing of a connection once it makes a detection (Vern Paxson). - Fixes for &read_expire operation across synchronizes tables (Robin Sommer). - Fixes for multiple peers exchanging initial &sync state simultaneously (Robin Sommer). - Improvements to graceful termination of Bro when communicating with remote peers (Robin Sommer). - Fix for ICMP analyzer not always generating icmp_sent events (Robin Sommer). This appears to still need some work, as now it generates redundant events. - Fix for initial exchange of &sync state which could lead to referencing unknown IDs (Robin Sommer). - Fix to scan detection for differing semantics of connection compressor vs. non-compressor (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for distinguishing regular expression matches of length 0 from those of length 1 (Ruoming Pang). - Fix for SSH version parsing in the presence of content gaps (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for IRC that could lead to crashes (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix to refrain from adding new timers when a connection has already been removed from the connection table (Robin Sommer). - Bug fix for packet_contents not including the transport-layer header (Robin Sommer). - Some memory leaks fixed (Robin Sommer). - A bunch of portability and distribution problems fixed (Christian Kreibich, Robin Sommer, Vern Paxson). 1.1 Mon May 15 10:50:33 PDT 2006 - Bro now supports a "when" statement for taking action upon something becoming true asynchronously (Robin Sommer). This provides a powerful new mechanism with numerous applications. Syntax: when '(' ')' [timeout '{ '}'] where the first can be a single statement or a block enclosed in {}'s, but the set associated with "timeout" must be enclosed in {}'s (to reduce ambiguities in Bro's grammar). Bro executes the first statement when becomes true. If you give a timeout and the condition has not been satisfied before it expires, Bro executes the second statement instead. A simple example: global t: table[addr] of count; event connection_established(c: connection) { local orig = c$id$orig_h; if ( orig !in t ) { t[orig] = 1; when ( t[orig] == 5 ) print fmt("%s has established 5 connections", orig); timeout 1 hr { print fmt("%s has NOT established 5 connections", orig); delete t[orig]; } } else ++t[orig]; } Notes: - The condition may be evaluated more than once, and at arbitrary times. - When the when-body is executed, the condition is guaranteed to be still satisfied. - Expression reevaluation is primarily triggered by modifications to globals. However, reevaluations do not take place immediately but potentially at a later point. This means that if we change a global to a value which would execute the trigger but then change it back, the change may go unnoticed. - Inside the condition you may introduce new locals. For example, when ( (local x = foo()) && x == 42 ) ... Such an assignment always yields true as its expression value (but the assignment might be delayed, for example if foo() is a delayed function call - see below). Delaying function calls ======================= Functions called inside the condition of a when-clause may delay their results until they're ready. This works for both script-level and built-in functions. For script-level functions, there is a new construct, "return ", to delay a function's result. When used, the function returns at the time the when-stmt's condition becomes true, and it yields the value that the when-stmt's body then returns. Toy example: global X: table[string] of count; function a() : count { # This delays until condition becomes true. return when ( "a" in X ) { return X["a"]; } timeout 5 min { return 0; } } event bro_init() { # Installs a trigger which fires if a() returns 42. when ( a() == 42 ) { print "Yippie!"; } X["a"] = 42; } There's also a new built-in function which can delay lookup_addr(host: addr) performs asynchronous DNS address->hostname lookups. Example: local h; addr; [...] when (local name = lookup_addr(h)) { print h, name; } See the function gen_hot_notice_with_hostnames() in conn.bro for a more worked-out example of using the "when" clause to translate the local address in SensitiveConnection notices to a hostname (contributed by Brian Tierney). This functionality is activated by redef'ing xlate_hot_local_addr to T. Here is the full evaluation model of a when's condition: - The condition may be evaluated more than once, at arbitrary times. - It is always fully evaluated, no matter whether some former evaluation has been suspended by a delaying function call. - All function calls which do not delay are always *fully* executed each time the condition is evaluated. - Function calls which delay are only executed *once*; their result is cached and re-used in the case the condition is evaluated again. - The condition is guaranteed to be true when the body is executed (potentially using cached function results) - By default Bro now uses a configuration similar to what used to be activated using reduce-memory.bro, along with some additional state timeouts that are new (Robin Sommer and Vern Paxson). This allows for better state management out-of-the-box, at the cost of some precision of analysis and resilience to evasion. In particular, the intent is to move towards being able to run Bro continuously without inexorably growing the amount of memory used until exhaustion. You can access a configuration similar to the previous default state management settings by loading heavy-analysis.bro. It turns on a load-prefix of "heavy", so when you load XXX.bro, a file heavy.XXX.bro will also be automatically loaded if present. Note that, as was the case for reduce-memory, you need to load heavy-analysis prior to other files for it to have effect. - The new module clear-passwords.bro monitors login/FTP/IRC/POP traffic for cleartext passwords (Jason Lee). - The new script service-probe.bro looks for remote hosts that repeatedly connect to the same service on local hosts (for a configurable set of services and connection sizes) in order to detect brute-forcing attacks such as password-guessing (Jim Mellander). - A new ARP analyzer generates three events: event arp_request(mac_src: string, mac_dst: string, SPA: addr, SHA: string, TPA: addr, THA: string); event arp_reply(mac_src: string, mac_dst: string, SPA: addr, SHA: string, TPA: addr, THA: string); event bad_arp(SPA: addr, SHA: string, TPA: addr, THA: string, explanation: string); with a corresponding policy script arp.bro (Chema Gonzalez and Vern Paxson). It writes logs to arp.$BRO_LOG_SUFFIX. It has not been tested much yet. - Bro Lite changes (Jason Lee): - default user for is now user 'bro' - now uses the correct sysctl on FreeBSD 6 - now uses the correct Perl path if site-report.pl not installed into '/usr/local/bro' - no longer prompts to encrypt email unless you pick to email reports - The default Bro Lite install now only checkpoints Bro once a week (Brian Tierney). - Implicit Bro file extensions (such as .bro for policy scripts and .sig for signatures) are now searched for first rather than only if the non-extension-version of the file doesn't exist (Vern Paxson). For example, running "bro -r trace mt" now first searches $BROPATH for "mt.bro" before searching for "mt", whereas it used to do these in the other order. - There's now a simpler mechanism for redef'ing variables on the command-line (Christian Kreibich). Any command line arguments of the form = are now expanded into policy code of the form "redef var=val;", where is wrapped in quotation marks if the value appears to be a string and doesn't have quotation marks already. This works with strings with whitespace such as foo="Hello World"; however, note that it means you can't use the mechanism to redef an enum value. - The Bro distribution now includes (and builds by default) Christian Kreibich's Broccoli library (Bro C Client Library), which enables programs to communicate with running Bro's (Christian Kreibich and Jason Lee). Configure with --disable-broccoli to turn this off. - Built-in functions log(x: double): double and exp(x: double): double which do natural logarithms and their inverses (Jaeyeon Jung). - The new built-in function gethostname() returns the local host's name (Jason Lee & Robin Sommer). - The new built-in function reading_traces() returns true if Bro is reading trace files (Robin Sommer). - The new built-ins suspend_processing() and continue_processing() provide script-level control for instructing the event engine to stop or resume processing packets (Robin Sommer). This is useful for coordinating simultaneous processing by multiple Bro's. - Email notices are now by default sent via /bin/mail, with "[Bro Alarm]" in the subject. - redef'ing a function now replaces the existing body rather than supplementing it (Robin Sommer), which was a bug. - You can now configure Bro to process encapsulated IP packets either by setting, as before, a fixed encap_hdr_size (for VLANs), or setting parse_udp_tunnels to T (Ruoming Pang). For the latter, you specify a UDP tunnel port using udp_tunnel_port (the previous variable "tunnel_port" has gone away); or you can leave it set to its default of 0/udp, in which case Bro will look for IP encapsulated in UDP packets on any port. - Added a simple form of profiling based on sampling the work done per-packet (Vern Paxson). The event engine generates a event load_sample(samples: load_sample_info, CPU: interval, dmem: int) event every load_sample_freq packets (roughly; it's randomized), where load_sample_freq defaults to 20. "samples" is simply a set[string]; it contains the names of the functions, event handlers, and their source files that were accessed during the processing of the sampled packet, along with an estimate of the CPU cost of processing the packet and (currently broken) memory allocated/freed. - Bro now includes experimental support for Endace DAG cards (Gregor Maier and Robin Sommer). To activate, configure with --with-DAG=/path/to/dagtool/installation and use "dag0" as the network interface. You may need to configure the card with the dagtools first. In general, if dagsnap works, Bro should work as well. - Log rotation has changed in a number of ways (Mark Dedlow & Robin Sommer): * The new variable log_rotate_base_time: string, if defined, specifies that logs should be rotated at log_rotate_base_time + i * rotate_interval intervals. Format is as a string in 24-hour time, "%H:%M", e.g, "12:00". This format may change in the future to instead be a Bro time type. * RotateLogs::date_format can be redefined to change format of timestamps in rotated files. * RotateLogs::build_name() can be redefined to implement an arbitrary naming scheme for rotated files. Note, this code has not been extensively tested. - Bro now by default builds a version of malloc bundled with its distribution (Vern Paxson & Brian Tierney). - The syntax for the clone operator now looks like a function call, "copy(x)" (Vern Paxson). - The new flag DNS::logging (default F), if T, disables generation of dns.log (which is often uninteresting and very large), though it still performs analysis leading to NOTICEs (Robin Sommer). - A new global, hostile_domain_list, has been added to dns.bro which lists domains to be flagged if A or MX records are queried (Scott Campbell). - Added globals dns_skip_all_{auth,addl} to skip all DNS AUTH/ADDL processing (Vern Paxson). Skipping these is on (true) by default, because such processing is quite expensive. - backdoor.bro now turns off by default some detectors that from experience have too many false positives, or (such as for HTTP) too many uninteresting true positives (Brian Tierney). In addition: - the module now generates a BackdoorFound notice for each backdoor - the new variable dump_backdoor_packets (default F) if set causes the packet that triggered the backdoor detection to be written to backdoor-packets/:
