Using the ``dataset`` and ``datarep`` keyword it is possible to match on
large amounts of data against any sticky buffer.

dataset with json
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DataJSON allows matching data against a set and output data attached to the matching
value in the event.
Syntax::
dataset:<cmd>,<name>,<options>;
dataset:<isset|isnotset>,<name> \
[, type <string|md5|sha256|ipv4|ip>, load <file name>, format json, memcap <size>, hashsize <size>, enrichment_key <json_key> \
, value_key <json_key>, array_key <json_path>];
Example rules could look like::
alert http any any -> any any (msg:"IP match"; ip.dst; dataset:isset,bad_ips, type ip, load bad_ips.json, format json, enrichment_key bad_ones, value_key ip; sid:8000001;)
In this example, the match will occur if the destination IP is in the set and the
alert will have an ``alert.extra.bad_ones`` subobject that will contain the JSON
data associated to the value.
If ``json_key`` is present then the data file has to contains a valid JSON object containing an array
where every elemeents have to contain a key equal to ``json_key``.
If ``array_key`` is present, Suricata will extract the corresponding subobject that has to be
a JSON array.
See :ref:`Datajson format <datajson_data>` for more information.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If ``format json`` is used in the parameters of a dataset keyword, then the loaded
file has to contain a valid JSON object.
If ``value_key``` option is present then the file has to contain a valid JSON
object containing an array where the key equal to ``value_key`` value is present.
For example, if the file ``file.json`` is like the following example (typical of return of REST API call) ::
{
"time": "2024-12-21",
"response": {
"threats":
[
{"host": "toto.com", "origin": "japan"},
{"host": "grenouille.com", "origin": "french"}
]
}
}
then the match to check the list of threats using datajson can be defined as ::
http.host; dataset:isset,threats,load file.json, enrichment_key threat, value_key host, array_key response.threats;

PCRE extraction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is possible to capture groups from the regular expression and log them into the
alert events.
There is 3 capabilities:
* pkt: the extracted group is logged as pkt variable in ``metadata.pktvars``
* alert: the extracted group is logged to the ``alert.extra`` subobject
* flow: the extracted group is stored in a flow variable and end up in the ``metadata.flowvars``
To use the feature, parameters of pcre keyword need to be updated.
After the regular pcre regex and options, a comma separated lists of variable names.
The prefix here is ``flow:``, ``pkt:`` or ``alert:`` and the names can contain special
characters now. The names map to the capturing substring expressions in order ::
pcre:"/([a-z]+)\/[a-z]+\/(.+)\/(.+)\/changelog$/GUR, \
flow:ua/ubuntu/repo,flow:ua/ubuntu/pkg/base, \
flow:ua/ubuntu/pkg/version";
This would result in the alert event has something like ::
"metadata": {
"flowvars": [
{"ua/ubuntu/repo": "fr"},
{"ua/ubuntu/pkg/base": "curl"},
{"ua/ubuntu/pkg/version": "2.2.1"}
]
}
The other events on the same flow such as the ``flow`` one will
also have the flow vars.
If this is not wanted, you can use the ``alert:`` construct to only
get the event in the alert ::
pcre:"/([a-z]+)\/[a-z]+\/(.+)\/(.+)\/changelog$/GUR, \
alert:ua/ubuntu/repo,alert:ua/ubuntu/pkg/base, \
alert:ua/ubuntu/pkg/version";
With that syntax, the result of the extraction will appear like ::
"alert": {
"extra": {
"ua/ubuntu/repo": "fr",
"ua/ubuntu/pkg/base": "curl",
"ua/ubuntu/pkg/version": "2.2.1"
]
}
A combination of the extraction scopes can be combined.
It is also possible to extract key/value pair in the ``pkt`` scope.
One capture would be the key, the second the value. The notation is similar to the last ::
pcre:"^/([A-Z]+) (.*)\r\n/, pkt:key,pkt:value";
``key`` and ``value`` are simply hardcoded names to trigger the key/value extraction.
As a consequence, they can't be used as name for the variables.
