When generating src/build-info.h the use of ac_builddir was problematic.
There were several cases where it was undefined leading to the absolute
path /src/build-info.h. ./configure should be called from the parent dir
to the actual src dir, so this should work. Make distcheck and normal builds
complete fine.
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.
Normally, there is one verdict per packet, i.e., we receive a packet,
process it, and then tell the kernel what to do with that packet (eg.
DROP or ACCEPT).
recv(), packet id x
send verdict v, packet id x
recv(), packet id x+1
send verdict v, packet id x+1
[..]
recv(), packet id x+n
send verdict v, packet id x+n
An alternative is to process several packets from the queue, and then send
a batch-verdict.
recv(), packet id x
recv(), packet id x+1
[..]
recv(), packet id x+n
send batch verdict v, packet id x+n
A batch verdict affects all previous packets (packet_id <= x+n),
we thus only need to remember the last packet_id seen.
Caveats:
- can't modify payload
- verdict is applied to all packets
- nfmark (if set) will be set for all packets
- increases latency (packets remain queued by the kernel
until batch verdict is sent).
To solve this, we only defer verdict for up to 20 packets and
send pending batch-verdict immediately if:
- no packets are currently queue
- current packet should be dropped
- current packet has different nfmark
- payload of packet was modified
This patch adds a configurable batch verdict support for workers runmode.
The batch verdicts are turned off by default.
Problem is that batch verdicts only work with kernels >= 3.1, i.e.
using newer libnetfilter_queue with an old kernel means non-working
suricata. So the functionnality has to be disabled by default.
'make install' install now suricatasc script and Python module to
the system. The suricatasc client module can now be used in other
Python projects by using 'import suricatasc'.
A transformation was needed for distribution of a module and a script.
Module in src directory is now containing most of the code and the
script only handle argument parsing and the creation of a unix socket
client through 'suricatasc' module.
As reported in bug #688, htp_config_set_path_decode_u_encoding
function is not included in libhtp header before 0.3.0. Result
is that suricata compilation fail with an external htp library.
The following patch detect the issue and adds the missing
declaration.
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 improve the error message when luajit libraries are not
found. It displays information about the possibility to use
PKG_CONFIG_PATH or the dedicated configure options.
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']
}
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.

clang is supposed to support march=native but if the CPU is too
recent for clang, this can cause an invalid detection of arch and
result in a incapability of clang to compile any binary.
This patch updates the test to try a compilation with march=native
when clang is the used compiler.
The version checking was made similarly for clang and gcc. This
patch modifies this to check on compiler name. This way we can
avoid to set march=native which is not supported by clang on
some system.
At the same time, this fix the annoying warning about no-fp-tree
being unsupported by clang.
