That page existed only in our redmine. Updated and added a few things,
like a paragraph about our expectations for feature contributors.
Also updated links, contacts and some other processes that may have
changed since last edition.
Added some section labels in related documents, for ease of referencing.
Task #4929
Added sections along packet-alert-max config section explaining
packet alert queue overflow (when Suri reaches packet alert max), when
alerts are discarded etc.
Since from the user perspective it shouldn't matter how we process the
alert queue, the term "replace" is used, even though there's not exactly
a replacing action happening, with the queue bein pre-processed before
being appended to the Packet.
Also described the associated stats and added an explanation on when to
change packet-alert-max.
Task #5178
Use it to explain how to go about the sequence diagram images
(generation, updating, what is mscgen etc).
Also remove portion that referred to Sphinx builds, as these don't make
sense now.
Currently, it seems easier to upload the diagram images to git than to
try to make the image generation script work with out of the tree builds
and other corner cases.
This means, however, that one must activelly remember to update msc
diagram files, run the script and re-add new png files, if those ever
need to be updated. To raise awareness to that, a watermark was added
to the diagram images.
Also removed configuration steps that added mscgen as dependency
(locally and for workflow builds and readthedocs).
Moved devguide dir into userguide dir.
Since the devguide is now incorporated as the last chapter of the
userguide, removed build and configuration files from the devguide
dir, as these are no longer needed.
Task #4909
Issue: 4550
This commit documents the new per-thread stack-size setting. Some
systems have a small default value that is not suitable for Suricata's
multi-threaded architecture and adjustment may be required.
- add nom parsers for decoding most messages from StartupPhase and
SimpleQuery subprotocols
- add unittests
- tests/fuzz: add pgsql to confyaml
Feature: #4241
Many places were still referencing the old Suricata page.
Used git grep with replace to update them. Checked that new links work.
Left old references when they were only documentation examples (for
output or unittests).
Task#4915
The differences on how the `need` key works, depending on script
usage (output or detection) confuses users, sometimes (cf doc#4725).
While we don't fix that, just explain this behavior.
This commit adds a one-liner to the upgrade document for 7.0 stating
that protocol names/values are now builtin to Suricata and that names
and their casing may change.
Renaming was done with shell commands, git mv for moving the files and content like
find -iname '*.c' | xargs sed -i 's/ikev1/ike/g' respecting the different mixes of upper/lower case.
Fix a mistake in Makefile.am where the man page was only being
added to the distribution if the PDF was also created. It should
be included even if the PDF cannot be included.
This commit adds MAC address output to the EVE-JSON format. We follow the
remarks made in Redmine ticket #962: for packets, log MAC src/dst as a
scalar field in EVE; for flows, log MAC src/dst as lists in EVE. Field names
are different between flow and packet context to avoid type confusion
(src_mac vs. src_macs). Configuration approach and JSON representation is
taken from previous GitHub PR #2700.
Fixes https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/2689
Adds a new source file to handle this keyword.
And modifies documentation, Makefile, and registration accordingly.
url_decode decodes url-encoded data, ie replacing '+' with space
and '%HH' with its value.
Elastic search didn't accept the 'hassh' and 'hassh.string'. It would
see the first 'hassh' as a string and split the second key into a
object 'hassh' with a string member 'string'. So two different types
for 'hassh', so it rejected it.
This patch mimics the ja3(s) logging by creating a 'hassh' object
with 2 members: 'hash', which holds the md5 representation, and
'string' which holds the string representation.
This commit improves the description of the `tos` keyword by emphasizing
that the value used should adhere to the guidelines in RFC2474. Instead
of specifying the DSCP value directly, right shift the DSCP value and
use that.
Implement support for limiting Teredo detection and decoding to specific
UDP ports, with 3544 as the default.
If no ports are specified, the old behaviour of detecting/decoding on any
port is still in place. This can also be forced by specifying 'any' as the
port setting.
This commit adds support for the Remote Framebuffer Protocol (RFB) as
used, for example, by various VNC implementations. It targets the
official versions 3.3, 3.7 and 3.8 of the protocol and provides logging
for the RFB handshake communication for now. Logged events include
endpoint versions, details of the security (i.e. authentication)
exchange as well as metadata about the image transfer parameters.
Detection is enabled using keywords for:
- rfb.name: Session name as sticky buffer
- rfb.sectype: Security type, e.g. VNC-style challenge-response
- rfb.secresult: Result of the security exchange, e.g. OK, FAIL, ...
The latter could be used, for example, to detect brute-force attempts
on open VNC servers, while the name could be used to map unwanted VNC
sessions to the desktop owners or machines.
We also ship example EVE-JSON output and keyword docs as part of the
Sphinx source for Suricata's RTD documentation.
