Improved accuracy, improved performance. Performance improvement
noticeable with http heavy traffic and ruleset.
A lot of other cosmetic changes carried out as well. Wrappers introduced
for a lot of app layer functions.
Failing dce unittests disabled. Will be reintroduced in the updated dce
engine.
Cross transaction matching taken care of. FPs emanating from these
matches have now disappeared. Double inspection of transactions taken
care of as well.
In some cases AppLayerTransactionGetInspectId can return -1, which is
now handled by all it's callers.
Improve logic of selecting which transactions are inspected by the various
HTTP keywords.
Filestore keyword by default (... filestore; ... ) marks only the file in the
same direction as the rule match for storing. This makes sense when inspecting
individual files (filemagic, filename, etc) but not so much when looking at
suspicious file requests, where the actual file is in the response.
The filestore keyword now takes 2 optional options:
filestore:<direction>,<scope>;
By default the direction is "same as rule match", and scope is "currently
inspected file".
For direction the following values are possible: "request" and "to_server",
"response" and "to_client", "both".
For scope the following values are possible: "tx" for all files in the current
HTTP/1.1 transation, "ssn" and "flow" for all files in the session/flow.
For the above case, where a suspious request should lead to a response file
download, this would work:
alert http ... content:"/suspicious/"; http_uri; filestore:response; ...
Add pruning of files in memory so we keep only memory what we really need.
Fix magic logic.
Reset file part of the de_state on receiving another file in the same tx.
- Enable response body tracking
- Enable file extraction for responses
- File store meta file includes magic, close reason.
- Option to force magic lookup for all stored files.
- Fix libmagic calls thead safety.
