Update the code to use mmap capture by default even in unset in
configuration file. mmap capture is now be turned off by using
explicitely 'use-mmap: no' in configuration.
It is used to set the block size in tpacket_v3. It will allow user
to tune the capture depending on his bandwidth.
Default block size value has been updated to a bigger value to
allow more efficient wlak on block.
This patch adds a basic implementation of AF_PACKET tpacket v3. It
is basic in the way it is only working for 'workers' runnning mode.
If not in 'workers' mode there is a fallback to tpacket_v2. Feature
is activated via tpacket-v3 option in the af-packet section of
Suricata YAML.
Make the rule grouping dump to rule_group.json configurable.
detect:
profiling:
grouping:
dump-to-disk: false
include-rules: false # very verbose
include-mpm-stats: false
Make the port grouping whitelisting configurable. A whitelisted port
ends up in it's own port group.
detect:
grouping:
tcp-whitelist: 80, 443
udp-whitelist: 53, 5060
No portranges are allowed at this point.
Instead of detect-engine which used a list for no good reason, use a
simple map now.
detect:
profile: medium
custom-values:
toclient-groups: 3
toserver-groups: 25
sgh-mpm-context: auto
inspection-recursion-limit: 3000
# If set to yes, the loading of signatures will be made after the capture
# is started. This will limit the downtime in IPS mode.
#delayed-detect: yes
Dump a json record containing all sigs that need to be inspected after
prefilter. Part of profiling. Only dump if threshold is met, which is
currently set by:
--set detect.profiling.inspect-logging-threshold=200
A file called packet_inspected_rules.json is created in the default
log dir.
Per rule group tracking of checks, use of lists, mpm matches,
post filter counts.
Logs SGH id so it can be compared with the rule_group.json output.
Implemented both in a human readable text format and a JSON format.
It is better to use a transformation to define the default
directory of output message instead of using an hardcoded value.
Same apply to the directory for the pid file.
This patch implements redis pipelining. This consist in contacting
the redis server every N events to minimize the number of TCP
exchange. This is optional and setup via the configuration file.
When using redis output, we are loosing the host key (added by
logstash or logstash-forwarder) and we can't find anymore what
Suricata did cause the alert.
This patch is adding this key during message generation using the
'sensor-name' variable or the hostname is 'sensor-name' is not
defined.
Rollover option is causing issue with TCP streaming code because
packets from the same flow to be treated out of order. As long as
the situation is not fixed in the streaming engine, it is a bad idea
to enable it by default.
This patch implements the rollover option in af_packet capture.
This should heavily minimize the packet drops as well as the
maximum bandwidth treated for a single flow.
The option has been deactivated by default but it is activated in
the af_packet default section. This ensure there is no change for
old users using an existing YAML. And new users will benefit from
the change.
This option is available since Linux 3.10. An analysis of af_packet
kernel code shows that setting the flag in all cases should not
cause any trouble for older kernel.
This patch implements the fanout load balancing modes available
in kernel 4.0. The more interesting is cluster_qm that does the
load balancing based on the RSS queues. So if the network card
is doing a flow based load balancing then a given socket will
receive all packets of a flow indepently of the CPU affinity.
An design error was made when doing the TLS storage module which
has been made dependant of the TLS logging. At the time there was
only one TLS logging module but there is now two different ones.
By putting the TLS store module in a separate module, we can now
use EVE output and TLS store at the same time.
