The TILE-Gx processor includes a packet processing engine, called
mPIPE, that can deliver packets directly into user space memory. It
handles buffer allocation and load balancing (either static 5-tuple
hashing, or dynamic flow affinity hashing are used here). The new
packet source code is in source-mpipe.c and source-mpipe.h
A new Tile runmode is added that configures the Suricata pipelines in
worker mode, where each thread does the entire packet processing
pipeline. It scales across all the Gx chips sizes of 9, 16, 36 or 72
cores. The new runmode is in runmode-tile.c and runmode-tile.h
The configure script detects the TILE-Gx architecture and defines
HAVE_MPIPE, which is then used to conditionally enable the code to
support mPIPE packet processing. Suricata runs on TILE-Gx even without
mPIPE support enabled.
The Suricata Packet structures are allocated by the mPIPE hardware by
allocating the Suricata Packet structure immediatley before the mPIPE
packet buffer and then pushing the mPIPE packet buffer pointer onto
the mPIPE buffer stack. This way, mPIPE writes the packet data into
the buffer, returns the mPIPE packet buffer pointer, which is then
converted into a Suricata Packet pointer for processing inside
Suricata. When the Packet is freed, the buffer is returned to mPIPE's
buffer stack, by setting ReleasePacket to an mPIPE release specific
function.
The code checks for the largest Huge page available in Linux when
Suricata is started. TILE-Gx supports Huge pages sizes of 16MB, 64MB,
256MB, 1GB and 4GB. Suricata then divides one of those page into
packet buffers for mPIPE.
The code is not yet optimized for high performance. Performance
improvements will follow shortly.
The code was originally written by Tom Decanio and then further
modified by Tilera.
This code has been tested with Tilera's Multicore Developement
Environment (MDE) version 4.1.5. The TILEncore-Gx36 (PCIe card) and
TILEmpower-Gx (1U Rack mount).
In preparation of the libhtp upgrade, move all libhtp related conditionals
to configure. This allows for one set of build scripts that works regardless
of the presence of a local libhtp dir.
Adds support for match-on conditions (src, dst, any, both)
Uses GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE for performance reasons
Adds support for negation and multiple countries in the same rule
Bug fixes
Changed to take flow direction from rule, if present
Comments addressed. Unit tests added.
This patch introduces a unix command socket. JSON formatted messages
can be exchanged between suricata and a program connecting to a
dedicated socket.
The protocol is the following:
* Client connects to the socket
* It sends a version message: { "version": "$VERSION_ID" }
* Server answers with { "return": "OK|NOK" }
If server returns OK, the client is now allowed to send command.
The format of command is the following:
{
"command": "pcap-file",
"arguments": { "filename": "smtp-clean.pcap", "output-dir": "/tmp/out" }
}
The server will try to execute the "command" specified with the
(optional) provided "arguments".
The answer by server is the following:
{
"return": "OK|NOK",
"message": JSON_OBJECT or information string
}
A simple script is provided and is available under scripts/suricatasc. It
is not intended to be enterprise-grade tool but it is more a proof of
concept/example code. The first command line argument of suricatasc is
used to specify the socket to connect to.
Configuration of the feature is made in the YAML under the 'unix-command'
section:
unix-command:
enabled: yes
filename: custom.socket
The path specified in 'filename' is not absolute and is relative to the
state directory.
A new running mode called 'unix-socket' is also added.
When starting in this mode, only a unix socket manager
is started. When it receives a 'pcap-file' command, the manager
start a 'pcap-file' running mode which does not really leave at
the end of file but simply exit. The manager is then able to start
a new running mode with a new file.
To start this mode, Suricata must be started with the --unix-socket
option which has an optional argument which fix the file name of the
socket. The path is not absolute and is relative to the state directory.
THe 'pcap-file' command adds a file to the list of files to treat.
For each pcap file, a pcap file running mode is started and the output
directory is changed to what specified in the command. The running
mode specified in the 'runmode' YAML setting is used to select which
running mode must be use for the pcap file treatment.
This requires modification in suricata.c file where initialisation code
is now conditional to the fact 'unix-socket' mode is not used.
Two other commands exists to get info on the remaining tasks:
* pcap-file-number: return the number of files in the waiting queue
* pcap-file-list: return the list of waiting files
'pcap-file-list' returns a structured object as message. The
structure is the following:
{
'count': 2,
'files': ['file1.pcap', 'file2.pcap']
}
This patch creates a pid file per default and use it to avoid to be
able to run two Suricata. Separate pid file have to be provided to
be able to do it.
Removed the Napatech 2GD support
runmode-napatech-3gd.c had an include from runmode-napatech.h which was erroneous and has been removed as well.

For use with Network Cards from Napatech utilizing the 3GD driver/api.
- Implemented new run modes in runmode-napatech-3gd.*
- Implemented capture/decode threads in source-napatech-3gd.*
- Integrated the new run modes and source into the build infrastructure.
New configure switches
--enabled-napatech-3gd : Turns on the NT 3GD support
--with-napatech-3gd-includes : The directory containing the NT 3GD header files
--with-napatech-3gd-libraries : The directory containing the NT 3GD libraries to link against.
New CLI switch
--napatech-3gd : Uses the Napatech 3GD run mode
Runmodes Supported:
- auto
- autofp
- workers
Notes:
- tested with 1 Gbps sustained traffic (no drops)

This patch adds a l3_proto keyword to the signature language. It
can be used to specify if the signature has to match on IPv4, IPv6
or both. For example, one can write:
alert http any any -> any 22 (msg: "HTTP v6"; l3_proto:ip6; sid:14;)
This should close#494.
Creation of the log-tlslog file in order to log tls message.
Need to add some information into suricata.yaml to work.
- tls-log:
enabled: yes # Log TLS connections.
filename: tls.log # File to store TLS logs.
This patch should fix#480 by adding the support of Teredo tunnel.
The IPv6 content of the tunnel will be parsed in a similar way as
what is done the GRE tunnel. Signatures will then be matched on the
IPv6 content.
