Have -T / --init-errors-fatal process all rules so that it's easier
to debug problems in ruleset. Otherwise it can be a lengthy fix, test
error cycle if multiple rules have issues.
Convert empty rulefile error into a warning.
Bug #977
Convert regular 'stats.log' output to this new API.
In addition to the current stats value, also give the last value. This
makes it easy to display the difference.
The global variable suricata_ctl_flags needs to volatile, otherwise the
compiler might not cause the variable to be read every time because it
doesn't know other threads might write the variable.
This was causing Suricata to not exit under some conditions.
AF_PACKET is not setting the engine mode to IPS when some
interfaces are peered and use IPS mode. This is due to the
fact, it is possible to peer 2 interfaces and run an IPS on
them and have a third one that is running in normal IDS mode.
In fact this choice is the bad one as unwanted side effect is
that there is no drop log and that stream inline is not used.
To fix that, this patch puts suricata in IPS mode as soon as
there is two interfaces in IPS mode. And it displays a error
message to warn user that the accuracy of detection on IDS only
interfaces will be low.
This patch adds a new Log API for streaming data such as TCP reassembled
data and HTTP body data. It could also replace Filedata API.
Each time a new chunk of data is available, the callback will be called.
Use new management API to run the flow recycler.
Make number of threads configurable:
flow:
memcap: 64mb
hash-size: 65536
prealloc: 10000
emergency-recovery: 30
managers: 2
recyclers: 2
This sets up 2 flow recyclers.
Use new management API to run the flow manager.
Support multiple flow managers, where each of them works with it's
own part of the flow hash.
Make number of threads configurable:
flow:
memcap: 64mb
hash-size: 65536
prealloc: 10000
emergency-recovery: 30
managers: 2
This sets up 2 flow managers.
Handle misc tasks only in instance 1: Handle defrag hash timeout
handing, host hash timeout handling and flow spare queue updating
only from the first instance.
Thread was killed by the generic TmThreadKillThreads instead of
the FlowKillFlowRecyclerThread. The latter wakes the thread up, so
that shutdown is quite a bit faster.
Using a stack for free Packet storage causes recently freed Packets to be
reused quickly, while there is more likelihood of the data still being in
cache.
The new structure has a per-thread private stack for allocating Packets
which does not need any locking. Since Packets can be freed by any thread,
there is a second stack (return stack) for freeing packets by other threads.
The return stack is protected by a mutex. Packets are moved from the return
stack to the private stack when the private stack is empty.
Returning packets back to their "home" stack keeps the stacks from getting out
of balance.
The PacketPoolInit() function is now called by each thread that will be
allocating packets. Each thread allocates max_pending_packets, which is a
change from before, where that was the total number of packets across all
threads.
EVE logging is a really good substitute for pcapinfo. Suriwire is
now supporting EVE output so it is not anymore necessary to have
pcapinfo in Suricata.
Add profiling to a logfile. Default is $log_dir/pcaplog_stats.log
The counters for open, close, rotate, write and handles are written
to it, as well as:
- total bytes written
- cost per MiB
- cost per GiB
Option is disabled by default.
If a live reload signal was given before the engine was fully started
up (e.g. pcap file thread waiting for a disk to spin up), a segv could
occur.
This patch only enables live reloads after the threads have been
started up completely.
Instead of error phrone externs with macro's, use functions with a local
static enum var instead.
- EngineModeIsIPS(): in IPS mode
- EngineModeIsIDS(): in IDS mode
To set the modes:
- EngineModeSetIDS(): IDS mode (default)
- EngineModeSetIPS(): IPS mode
Bug #1177.
This patch adds a check that was missing when specifying BPF filter
from a file. Suricata behavior should have been the same as when
BPF filter is specified on command line.
Fixes:
** CID 1075221: Dereference after null check (FORWARD_NULL)
/src/suricata.c: 1344 in ParseCommandLine()
The reason it gave this warning is that in other paths using optarg
there was a check, so the checker assumed optarg can be NULL.
A new logger API for registering file storage handlers. Where the
FileLog handler is called once per file, this handler will be called
for each data chunk so that storing the entire file is possible.
The logger call in the API is as follows:
typedef int (*FiledataLogger)(ThreadVars *, void *thread_data,
const Packet *, const File *, const FileData *, uint8_t flags);
All data is const, thus should be read only. The final flags field
is used to indicate to the caller that the file is new, or if it's
being closed.
Files use an internal unique id 'file_id' which can be used by the
loggers to create unique file names. This id can use the 'waldo'
feature of the log-filestore module. This patch moves that waldo
loading and storing logic to this API's implementation. A new
configuration directive 'file-store-waldo: <filename>' is added,
but the existing waldo settings will also continue to work.
