Following commit 5379b52af2
rules that use multiple times the keyword tls.cert_subject
will result in
Warning: detect: duplicate instance for tls.cert_subject
These rules likely meant to use a multi-buffer which is not the
case for tls.cert_subject (even if it was documented so).
Ticket: 7890
This is put in a new section of upgrade notes for
upgrading to 8.0.1
Added a page that explains how rules are prioritized by Suri, as well
as what main different types of inspection happen and what elements are
involved when ordering rules.
Task #5449
Explain briefly the internals of inspection of raw data in the following order:
- Stream Engine
- Stream reassembly
- Role of Detection Engine and Applayer Parsers
- High level communication between Stream and Detection Engine
- Relevant suricata.yaml settings
alongwith some diagrams.
Ticket 4351
Add information about:
- available tables, default policies and rule ordering
- Packet layer and applayer tables and hooks
- engine analysis output
- commandline options available
- how to load firewall rules
Also, reorganize sections and content to assist the definitions.
Since userguide/conf.py uses the deprecated get_html_theme_path(),
sphinx emits a warning which breaks the build as warnings are treated
as errors.
Issue: 7859
Remove unused rule prefilter-related stats counters that aren't in use.
94644ac960 (detect: move non-pf rules into special prefilter engines)
removed the logic that made use of and incremented the stats counters:
- det_ctx->counter_fnonmpm_list
- det_ctx->counter_nonmpm_list
Some code was left, registering them, and mentioning them in the
json schema.
Ticket #7834
- cleanup usage and documentation around needs
- mentiond that rule hooks are used instead of "needs" keywords with
link with rule hooks (which is still in the firewall-design doc)
Break out RPM, Debian, and Ubuntu package installation into their own
pages.
Also break out other distributions like "Arch" into an "Other" section
with a note about how those packages are not supported by the OISF.
