.. _lua-detection:
Lua Scripting for Detection
===========================
.. note:: Lua is disabled by default for use in rules, it must be
enabled in the configuration file. See the ``security.lua``
section of ``suricata.yaml`` and enable ``allow-rules``.
Syntax:
::
lua:[!]<scriptfilename>;
The script filename will be appended to your default rules location.
The script has 2 parts, an init function and a match function. First, the init.
Init function
-------------
.. code-block:: lua
function init (args)
local needs = {}
needs["http.request_line"] = tostring(true)
return needs
end
The init function registers the buffer(s) that need
inspection. Currently the following are available:
* packet -- entire packet, including headers
* payload -- packet payload (not stream)
* buffer -- the current sticky buffer
* stream
* dnp3
* dns.request
* dns.response
* dns.rrname
* ssh
* smtp
* tls
* http.uri
* http.uri.raw
* http.request_line
* http.request_headers
* http.request_headers.raw
* http.request_cookie
* http.request_user_agent
* http.request_body
* http.response_headers
* http.response_headers.raw
* http.response_body
* http.response_cookie
All the HTTP buffers have a limitation: only one can be inspected by a
script at a time.
Match function
--------------
.. code-block:: lua
function match(args)
a = tostring(args["http.request_line"])
if #a > 0 then
if a:find("^POST%s+/.*%.php%s+HTTP/1.0$") then
return 1
end
end
return 0
end
The script can return 1 or 0. It should return 1 if the condition(s)
it checks for match, 0 if not.
Entire script:
.. code-block:: lua
function init (args)
local needs = {}
needs["http.request_line"] = tostring(true)
return needs
end
function match(args)
a = tostring(args["http.request_line"])
if #a > 0 then
if a:find("^POST%s+/.*%.php%s+HTTP/1.0$") then
return 1
end
end
return 0
end
return 0
A comprehensive list of existing lua functions - with examples - can be found at :ref:`lua-functions` (some of them, however,
work only for the lua-output functionality).
