Hyperscan
=========
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hyperscan is a high-performance multiple regex matching library." https://01.org/hyperscan
In Suricata it can be used to perform multi pattern matching (mpm). Support was implemented by Justin Viiret and Jim Xu from Intel: https://github.com/inliniac/suricata/pull/1965, https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/1704
Compilation
~~~~~~~~~~~
It's possible to pass --with-libhs-includes=/usr/local/include/hs/ --with-libhs-libraries=/usr/local/lib/, although by default this shouldn't be necessary. Suricata should pick up Hyperscan's pkg-config file automagically.
When Suricata's compilation succeeded, you should have:
::
suricata --build-info|grep Hyperscan
Hyperscan support: yes
Using Hyperscan
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To use the hyperscan support edit your suricata.yaml. Change the mpm-algo and spm-algo values to 'hs'.
Alternatively, use this commandline option: --set mpm-algo=hs --set spm-algo=hs
Ubuntu Hyperscan Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To use Suricata with Hyperscan support, install dependencies:
::
apt-get install cmake ragel
libboost headers
----------------
Hyperscan needs the libboost headers from 1.58+.
On Ubuntu 15.10 or 16.04+, simply do:
::
apt-get install libboost-dev
Trusty
------
Trusty has 1.57, so it's too old. We can grab a newer libboost version, but we *don't* install it system wide. It's only the headers we care about during compilation of Hyperscan.
::
sudo apt-get python-dev libbz2-dev
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.60.0/boost_1_60_0.tar.gz
tar xvzf boost_1_60_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_60_0
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=~/tmp/boost-1.60
./b2 install
Hyperscan
---------
We'll install version 4.2.0.
::
git clone https://github.com/01org/hyperscan
cd hyperscan
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DBUILD_STATIC_AND_SHARED=1 ../
If you have your own libboost headers, use this cmake line instead:
::
cmake -DBUILD_STATIC_AND_SHARED=1 -DBOOST_ROOT=~/tmp/boost-1.60 ../
Finally, make and make install:
::
make
sudo make install
Compilation can take a long time, but it should in the end look something like this:
::
