Don't assume the ntlmssp version field is always present if the flag is
set. Instead keep track of the offsets of the data of the various blobs
and see if there is space for the version.
Inspired by how Wireshark does the parsing.
Bug: #7121.
Enable backoff for most rules. The rules looking at the session start up
use a count of 1 and a multiplier of 2.
Post-3whs rules use a count of 1 and a multiplier of 10.
Implement new `type backoff` for thresholding. This allows alerts to be
limited.
A count of 1 with a multiplier of 10 would generate alerts for matching packets:
1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, etc.
A count of 1 with a multiplier of 2 would generate alerts for matching packets:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.
Like with other thresholds, rule actions like drop and setting of
flowbits will still be performed for each matching packet.
Current implementation is only for the by_flow tracker and for per rule
threshold statements.
Tracking is done using uint32_t. When it reaches this value, the rest of
the packets in the tracker will use the silent match.
Ticket: #7120.
Instead of a Host and IPPair table thresholding layer, use a dedicated
THash to store both. This allows hashing on host+sid+tracker or
ippair+sid+tracker, to create more unique hash keys.
This allows for fewer hash collisions.
The per rule tracking also uses this, so that the single big lock is no
longer a single point of contention.
Reimplement storage for flow thresholds to reuse as much logic as
possible from the host/ippair/rule thresholds.
Ticket: #426.
Thresholding often has 2 stages:
1. recording matches
2. appling an action, like suppress
E.g. with something like:
threshold:type limit, count 10, seconds 3600, track by_src;
the recording state is about counting 10 first hits for an IP,
then followed by the "suppress" state that might last an hour.
By_src/by_dst are expensive, as they do a host table lookup and lock
the host. If many threads require this access, lock contention becomes
a serious problem.
This patch adds a thread local cache to avoid the synchronization
overhead. When the threshold for a host enters the "apply" stage,
a thread local hash entry is added. This entry knows the expiry
time and the action to apply. This way the action can be applied
w/o the synchronization overhead.
A rbtree is used to handle expiration.
Implemented for IPv4.
Limits propegation checked for DETECT_DEPTH as a content flag,
which appears to have worked by chance. After reshuffling the
keyword id's it no longer worked. This patch uses the proper
flag DETECT_CONTENT_DEPTH.
Traffic variables (flowvars, flowbits, xbits, etc) use a smaller int for
their type than detection types. As a workaround make sure the values fit
in a uint8_t.
Add support for 'by_flow' track option. This allows using the various
threshold options in the context of a single flow.
Example:
alert tcp ... stream-event:pkt_broken_ack; \
threshold:type limit, track by_flow, count 1, seconds 3600;
The example would limit the number of alerts to once per hour for
packets triggering the 'pkt_broken_ack' stream event.
Implemented as a special "flowvar" holding the threshold entries. This
means no synchronization is required, making this a cheaper option
compared to the other trackers.
Ticket: #6822.

To avoid ambiguity, a single definition for base 64 decoding modes will
be used. The Rust base64 transform contains the definitions for the
existing mode types: Strict, RFC2045, RFC4648
