HTTP analyzer

Components¶

Analyzer::ANALYZER_HTTP

Events¶

http_request¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, method: `string`, original_URI: `string`, unescaped_URI: `string`, version: `string`)

Generated for HTTP requests. Bro supports persistent and pipelined HTTP sessions and raises corresponding events as it parses client/server dialogues. This event is generated as soon as a request’s initial line has been parsed, and before any http_header events are raised.

See Wikipedia for more information about the HTTP protocol.

C:	The connection.
Method:	The HTTP method extracted from the request (e.g., `GET`, `POST`).
Original_URI:	The unprocessed URI as specified in the request.
Unescaped_URI:	The URI with all percent-encodings decoded.
Version:	The version number specified in the request (e.g., `1.1`).

http_reply¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, version: `string`, code: `count`, reason: `string`)

Generated for HTTP replies. Bro supports persistent and pipelined HTTP sessions and raises corresponding events as it parses client/server dialogues. This event is generated as soon as a reply’s initial line has been parsed, and before any http_header events are raised.

See Wikipedia for more information about the HTTP protocol.

C:	The connection.
Version:	The version number specified in the reply (e.g., `1.1`).
Code:	The numerical response code returned by the server.
Reason:	The textual description returned by the server along with code.

http_header¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, name: `string`, value: `string`)

Generated for HTTP headers. Bro supports persistent and pipelined HTTP sessions and raises corresponding events as it parses client/server dialogues.

See Wikipedia for more information about the HTTP protocol.

C:	The connection.
Is_orig:	True if the header was sent by the originator of the TCP connection.
Name:	The name of the header.
Value:	The value of the header.

Note

This event is also raised for headers found in nested body entities.

http_all_headers¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, hlist: `mime_header_list`)

Generated for HTTP headers, passing on all headers of an HTTP message at once. Bro supports persistent and pipelined HTTP sessions and raises corresponding events as it parses client/server dialogues.

See Wikipedia for more information about the HTTP protocol.

C:	The connection.
Is_orig:	True if the header was sent by the originator of the TCP connection.
Hlist:	A table containing all headers extracted from the current entity. The table is indexed by the position of the header (1 for the first, 2 for the second, etc.).

Note

This event is also raised for headers found in nested body entities.

http_begin_entity¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`)

Generated when starting to parse an HTTP body entity. This event is generated at least once for each non-empty (client or server) HTTP body; and potentially more than once if the body contains further nested MIME entities. Bro raises this event just before it starts parsing each entity’s content.

See Wikipedia for more information about the HTTP protocol.

C:	The connection.
Is_orig:	True if the entity was sent by the originator of the TCP connection.

http_end_entity¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`)

Generated when finishing parsing an HTTP body entity. This event is generated at least once for each non-empty (client or server) HTTP body; and potentially more than once if the body contains further nested MIME entities. Bro raises this event at the point when it has finished parsing an entity’s content.

See Wikipedia for more information about the HTTP protocol.

C:	The connection.
Is_orig:	True if the entity was sent by the originator of the TCP connection.

http_entity_data¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, length: `count`, data: `string`)

Generated when parsing an HTTP body entity, passing on the data. This event can potentially be raised many times for each entity, each time passing a chunk of the data of not further defined size.

A common idiom for using this event is to first reassemble the data at the scripting layer by concatenating it to a successively growing string; and only perform further content analysis once the corresponding http_end_entity event has been raised. Note, however, that doing so can be quite expensive for HTTP tranders. At the very least, one should impose an upper size limit on how much data is being buffered.

See Wikipedia for more information about the HTTP protocol.

C:	The connection.
Is_orig:	True if the entity was sent by the originator of the TCP connection.
Length:	The length of data.

http_content_type¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, ty: `string`, subty: `string`)

Generated for reporting an HTTP body’s content type. This event is generated at the end of parsing an HTTP header, passing on the MIME type as specified by the Content-Type header. If that header is missing, this event is still raised with a default value of text/plain.

See Wikipedia for more information about the HTTP protocol.

C:	The connection.
Is_orig:	True if the entity was sent by the originator of the TCP connection.
Ty:	The main type.
Subty:	The subtype.

Note

This event is also raised for headers found in nested body entities.

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, stat: `http_message_stat`)

Generated once at the end of parsing an HTTP message. Bro supports persistent and pipelined HTTP sessions and raises corresponding events as it parses client/server dialogues. A “message” is one top-level HTTP entity, such as a complete request or reply. Each message can have further nested sub-entities inside. This event is raised once all sub-entities belonging to a top-level message have been processed (and their corresponding http_entity_* events generated).

See Wikipedia for more information about the HTTP protocol.

C:	The connection.
Is_orig:	True if the entity was sent by the originator of the TCP connection.
Stat:	Further meta information about the message.

http_event¶

Generated for errors found when decoding HTTP requests or replies.

See Wikipedia for more information about the HTTP protocol.

C:	The connection.
Event_type:	A string describing the general category of the problem found (e.g., `illegal format`).
Detail:	Further more detailed description of the error.

http_stats¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, stats: `http_stats_rec`)

Generated at the end of an HTTP session to report statistics about it. This event is raised after all of an HTTP session’s requests and replies have been fully processed.

C:	The connection.
Stats:	Statistics summarizing HTTP-level properties of the finished connection.

http_connection_upgrade¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, protocol: `string`)

Generated when a HTTP session is upgraded to a different protocol (e.g. websocket). This event is raised when a server replies with a HTTP 101 reply. No more HTTP events will be raised after this event.

C:	The connection.
Protocol:	The protocol to which the connection is switching.

Functions¶

Line:	The command line sent in the request.
New_session:	True if this is the first command of the Rsh session.

Note

For historical reasons, these events are separate from the login_ events. Ideally, they would all be handled uniquely.

Todo

rsh_reply¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, client_user: `string`, server_user: `string`, line: `string`)

Generated for client side commands on an RSH connection.

See RFC 1258 for more information about the Rlogin/Rsh protocol.

Todo

login_failure¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, user: `string`, client_user: `string`, password: `string`, line: `string`)

Generated for Telnet/Rlogin login failures. The login analyzer inspects Telnet/Rlogin sessions to heuristically extract username and password information as well as the text returned by the login server. This event is raised if a login attempt appears to have been unsuccessful.

C:	The connection.
User:	The user name tried.
Client_user:	For Telnet connections, this is an empty string, but for Rlogin connections, it is the client name passed in the initial authentication information (to check against .rhosts).
Password:	The password tried.
Line:	The line of text that led the analyzer to conclude that the authentication had failed.

Note

The login analyzer depends on a set of script-level variables that need to be configured with patterns identifying login attempts. This configuration has not yet been ported over from Bro 1.5 to Bro 2.x, and the analyzer is therefore not directly usable at the moment.

Todo

Bro’s current default configuration does not activate the protocol analyzer that generates this event; the corresponding script has not yet been ported to Bro 2.x. To still enable this event, one needs to add a call to Analyzer::register_for_ports or a DPD payload signature.

login_success¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, user: `string`, client_user: `string`, password: `string`, line: `string`)

Generated for successful Telnet/Rlogin logins. The login analyzer inspects Telnet/Rlogin sessions to heuristically extract username and password information as well as the text returned by the login server. This event is raised if a login attempt appears to have been successful.

C:	The connection.
User:	The user name used.
Client_user:	For Telnet connections, this is an empty string, but for Rlogin connections, it is the client name passed in the initial authentication information (to check against .rhosts).

Todo

Bro’s current default configuration does not activate the protocol analyzer that generates this event; the corresponding script has not yet been ported to Bro 2.x. To still enable this event, one needs to add a call to Analyzer::register_for_ports or a DPD payload signature.

login_confused¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, msg: `string`, line: `string`)

Generated when tracking of Telnet/Rlogin authentication failed. As Bro’s login analyzer uses a number of heuristics to extract authentication information, it may become confused. If it can no longer correctly track the authentication dialog, it raises this event.

C:	The connection.
Msg:	Gives the particular problem the heuristics detected (for example, `multiple_login_prompts` means that the engine saw several login prompts in a row, without the type-ahead from the client side presumed necessary to cause them)
Line:	The line of text that caused the heuristics to conclude they were confused.

Todo

Bro’s current default configuration does not activate the protocol analyzer that generates this event; the corresponding script has not yet been ported to Bro 2.x. To still enable this event, one needs to add a call to Analyzer::register_for_ports or a DPD payload signature.

login_confused_text¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, line: `string`)

Generated after getting confused while tracking a Telnet/Rlogin authentication dialog. The login analyzer generates this even for every line of user input after it has reported login_confused for a connection.

authentication_accepted¶

Type:	`event` (name: `string`, c: `connection`)

Generated when a Telnet authentication has been successful. The Telnet protocol includes options for negotiating authentication. When such an option is sent from client to server and the server replies that it accepts the authentication, then the event engine generates this event.

See Wikipedia for more information about the Telnet protocol.

Name:	The authenticated name.
C:	The connection.

Note

This event inspects the corresponding Telnet option while login_success heuristically determines success by watching session data.

inconsistent_option¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated for an inconsistent Telnet option. Telnet options are specified by the client and server stating which options they are willing to support vs. which they are not, and then instructing one another which in fact they should or should not use for the current connection. If the event engine sees a peer violate either what the other peer has instructed it to do, or what it itself offered in terms of options in the past, then the engine generates this event.

See Wikipedia for more information about the Telnet protocol.

C:	The connection.

bad_option¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated for an ill-formed or unrecognized Telnet option.

Bro::MIME ¶

MIME parsing

Components¶

Events¶

mime_begin_entity¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated when starting to parse an email MIME entity. MIME is a protocol-independent data format for encoding text and files, along with corresponding metadata, for transmission. Bro raises this event when it begins parsing a MIME entity extracted from an email protocol.

Bro’s MIME analyzer for emails currently supports SMTP and POP3. See Wikipedia for more information about MIME.

C:	The connection.

Note

Bro also extracts MIME entities from HTTP sessions. For those, however, it raises http_begin_entity instead.

mime_end_entity¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated when finishing parsing an email MIME entity. MIME is a protocol-independent data format for encoding text and files, along with corresponding metadata, for transmission. Bro raises this event when it finished parsing a MIME entity extracted from an email protocol.

Bro’s MIME analyzer for emails currently supports SMTP and POP3. See Wikipedia for more information about MIME.

C:	The connection.

Note

Bro also extracts MIME entities from HTTP sessions. For those, however, it raises http_end_entity instead.

mime_one_header¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, h: `mime_header_rec`)

Generated for individual MIME headers extracted from email MIME entities. MIME is a protocol-independent data format for encoding text and files, along with corresponding metadata, for transmission.

Bro’s MIME analyzer for emails currently supports SMTP and POP3. See Wikipedia for more information about MIME.

C:	The connection.
H:	The parsed MIME header.

Note

Bro also extracts MIME headers from HTTP sessions. For those, however, it raises http_header instead.

mime_all_headers¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, hlist: `mime_header_list`)

Generated for MIME headers extracted from email MIME entities, passing all headers at once. MIME is a protocol-independent data format for encoding text and files, along with corresponding metadata, for transmission.

Bro’s MIME analyzer for emails currently supports SMTP and POP3. See Wikipedia for more information about MIME.

C:	The connection.
Hlist:	A table containing all headers extracted from the current entity. The table is indexed by the position of the header (1 for the first, 2 for the second, etc.).

Note

Bro also extracts MIME headers from HTTP sessions. For those, however, it raises http_header instead.

mime_segment_data¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, length: `count`, data: `string`)

Generated for chunks of decoded MIME data from email MIME entities. MIME is a protocol-independent data format for encoding text and files, along with corresponding metadata, for transmission. As Bro parses the data of an entity, it raises a sequence of these events, each coming as soon as a new chunk of data is available. In contrast, there is also mime_entity_data, which passes all of an entities data at once in a single block. While the latter is more convenient to handle, mime_segment_data is more efficient as Bro does not need to buffer the data. Thus, if possible, this event should be preferred.

Bro’s MIME analyzer for emails currently supports SMTP and POP3. See Wikipedia for more information about MIME.

C:	The connection.
Length:	The length of data.
Data:	The raw data of one segment of the current entity.

Note

Bro also extracts MIME data from HTTP sessions. For those, however, it raises http_entity_data (sic!) instead.

mime_entity_data¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, length: `count`, data: `string`)

Generated for data decoded from an email MIME entity. This event delivers the complete content of a single MIME entity with the quoted-printable and and base64 data decoded. In contrast, there is also mime_segment_data, which passes on a sequence of data chunks as they come in. While mime_entity_data is more convenient to handle, mime_segment_data is more efficient as Bro does not need to buffer the data. Thus, if possible, the latter should be preferred.

Bro’s MIME analyzer for emails currently supports SMTP and POP3. See Wikipedia for more information about MIME.

C:	The connection.
Length:	The length of data.
Data:	The raw data of the complete entity.

Note

While Bro also decodes MIME entities extracted from HTTP sessions, there’s no corresponding event for that currently.

mime_all_data¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, length: `count`, data: `string`)

Generated for passing on all data decoded from a single email MIME message. If an email message has more than one MIME entity, this event combines all their data into a single value for analysis. Note that because of the potentially significant buffering necessary, using this event can be expensive.

Bro’s MIME analyzer for emails currently supports SMTP and POP3. See Wikipedia for more information about MIME.

C:	The connection.
Length:	The length of data.
Data:	The raw data of all MIME entities concatenated.

Note

While Bro also decodes MIME entities extracted from HTTP sessions, there’s no corresponding event for that currently.

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, event_type: `string`, detail: `string`)

Generated for errors found when decoding email MIME entities.

Bro’s MIME analyzer for emails currently supports SMTP and POP3. See Wikipedia for more information about MIME.

C:	The connection.
Event_type:	A string describing the general category of the problem found (e.g., `illegal format`).
Detail:	Further more detailed description of the error.

Note

Bro also extracts MIME headers from HTTP sessions. For those, however, it raises http_event instead.

mime_content_hash¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, content_len: `count`, hash_value: `string`)

Generated for decoded MIME entities extracted from email messages, passing on their MD5 checksums. Bro computes the MD5 over the complete decoded data of each MIME entity.

Bro’s MIME analyzer for emails currently supports SMTP and POP3. See Wikipedia for more information about MIME.

C:	The connection.
Content_len:	The length of the entity being hashed.
Hash_value:	The MD5 hash.

Note

Bro::SMTP ¶

SMTP analyzer

Components¶

Analyzer::ANALYZER_SMTP

Events¶

smtp_request¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, command: `string`, arg: `string`)

Generated for client-side SMTP commands.

See Wikipedia for more information about the SMTP protocol.

C:	The connection.
Is_orig:	True if the sender of the command is the originator of the TCP connection. Note that this is not redundant: the SMTP `TURN` command allows client and server to flip roles on established SMTP sessions, and hence a “request” might still come from the TCP-level responder. In practice, however, that will rarely happen as TURN is considered insecure and rarely used.
Command:	The request’s command, without any arguments.
Arg:	The request command’s arguments.

Note

Bro does not support the newer ETRN extension yet.

smtp_reply¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, code: `count`, cmd: `string`, msg: `string`, cont_resp: `bool`)

Generated for server-side SMTP commands.

See Wikipedia for more information about the SMTP protocol.

C:	The connection.
Is_orig:	True if the sender of the command is the originator of the TCP connection. Note that this is not redundant: the SMTP `TURN` command allows client and server to flip roles on established SMTP sessions, and hence a “reply” might still come from the TCP-level originator. In practice, however, that will rarely happen as TURN is considered insecure and rarely used.
Code:	The reply’s numerical code.
Cmd:	TODO.
Msg:	The reply’s textual description.
Cont_resp:	True if the reply line is tagged as being continued to the next line. If so, further events will be raised and a handler may want to reassemble the pieces before processing the response any further.

Note

Bro doesn’t support the newer ETRN extension yet.

smtp_data¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, data: `string`)

Generated for DATA transmitted on SMTP sessions. This event is raised for subsequent chunks of raw data following the DATA SMTP command until the corresponding end marker . is seen. A handler may want to reassemble the pieces as they come in if stream-analysis is required.

See Wikipedia for more information about the SMTP protocol.

C:	The connection.
Is_orig:	True if the sender of the data is the originator of the TCP connection.
Data:	The raw data. Note that the size of each chunk is undefined and depends on specifics of the underlying TCP connection.

Note

This event receives the unprocessed raw data. There is a separate set of mime_* events that strip out the outer MIME-layer of emails and provide structured access to their content.

smtp_unexpected¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, msg: `string`, detail: `string`)

Generated for unexpected activity on SMTP sessions. The SMTP analyzer tracks the state of SMTP sessions and reports commands and other activity with this event that it sees even though it would not expect so at the current point of the communication.

See Wikipedia for more information about the SMTP protocol.

C:	The connection.
Is_orig:	True if the sender of the unexpected activity is the originator of the TCP connection.
Msg:	A descriptive message of what was unexpected.
Detail:	The actual SMTP line triggering the event.

smtp_starttls¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated if a connection switched to using TLS using STARTTLS or X-ANONYMOUSTLS. After this event no more SMTP events will be raised for the connection. See the SSL analyzer for related SSL events, which will now be generated.

C:	The connection.

Functions¶

skip_smtp_data¶

Type:	`function` (c: `connection`) : `any`

Skips SMTP data until the next email in a connection.

Version:	The identification string

ssh_auth_successful¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, auth_method_none: `bool`)

This event is generated when an SSH connection was determined to have had a successful authentication. This determination is based on packet size analysis, and errs on the side of caution - that is, if there’s any doubt about the authentication success, this event is not raised.

Auth_method_none:
C:	The connection over which the SSH connection took place.
	This is true if the analyzer detected a successful connection before any authentication challenge. The SSH protocol provides a mechanism for unauthenticated access, which some servers support.

ssh_auth_attempted¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, authenticated: `bool`)

This event is generated when an SSH connection was determined to have had an authentication attempt. This determination is based on packet size analysis, and errs on the side of caution - that is, if there’s any doubt about whether or not an authenication attempt occured, this event is not raised.

At this point in the protocol, all we can determine is whether or not the user is authenticated. We don’t know if the particular attempt succeeded or failed, since some servers require multiple authentications (e.g. require both a password AND a pubkey), and could return an authentication failed message which is marked as a partial success.

This event will often be raised multiple times per connection. In almost all connections, it will be raised once unless

C:	The connection over which the SSH connection took place.

C:	The connection over which the SSH connection took place.
Orig:	Whether the packet was sent by the originator of the TCP connection.
Len:	The length of the SSH payload, in bytes. Note that this ignores reassembly, as this is unknown.

ssl_plaintext_data¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, record_version: `count`, content_type: `count`, length: `count`)

Generated for SSL/TLS messages that are sent before full session encryption starts. Note that “full encryption” is a bit fuzzy, especially for TLSv1.3; here this event will be raised for early packets that are already using pre-encryption. # This event is also used by Bro internally to determine if the connection has been completely setup. This is necessary as TLS 1.3 does not have CCS anymore.

Bro::TCP ¶

TCP analyzer

Components¶

Analyzer::ANALYZER_CONTENTLINE

Analyzer::ANALYZER_CONTENTS

Analyzer::ANALYZER_TCP

Analyzer::ANALYZER_TCPSTATS

Events¶

new_connection_contents¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated when reassembly starts for a TCP connection. This event is raised at the moment when Bro’s TCP analyzer enables stream reassembly for a connection.

C:	The connection.

connection_attempt¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated for an unsuccessful connection attempt. This event is raised when an originator unsuccessfully attempted to establish a connection. “Unsuccessful” is defined as at least tcp_attempt_delay seconds having elapsed since the originator first sent a connection establishment packet to the destination without seeing a reply.

C:	The connection.

connection_established¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated when seeing a SYN-ACK packet from the responder in a TCP handshake. An associated SYN packet was not seen from the originator side if its state is not set to TCP_ESTABLISHED. The final ACK of the handshake in response to SYN-ACK may or may not occur later, one way to tell is to check the history field of connection to see if the originator sent an ACK, indicated by ‘A’ in the history string.

C:	The connection.

partial_connection¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated for a new active TCP connection if Bro did not see the initial handshake. This event is raised when Bro has observed traffic from each endpoint, but the activity did not begin with the usual connection establishment.

C:	The connection.

connection_partial_close¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated when a previously inactive endpoint attempts to close a TCP connection via a normal FIN handshake or an abort RST sequence. When the endpoint sent one of these packets, Bro waits tcp_partial_close_delay prior to generating the event, to give the other endpoint a chance to close the connection normally.

C:	The connection.

connection_finished¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated for a TCP connection that finished normally. The event is raised when a regular FIN handshake from both endpoints was observed.

C:	The connection.

connection_half_finished¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated when one endpoint of a TCP connection attempted to gracefully close the connection, but the other endpoint is in the TCP_INACTIVE state. This can happen due to split routing, in which Bro only sees one side of a connection.

C:	The connection.

connection_rejected¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated for a rejected TCP connection. This event is raised when an originator attempted to setup a TCP connection but the responder replied with a RST packet denying it.

C:	The connection.

Note

If the responder does not respond at all, connection_attempt is raised instead. If the responder initially accepts the connection but aborts it later, Bro first generates connection_established and then connection_reset.

connection_reset¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated when an endpoint aborted a TCP connection. The event is raised when one endpoint of an established TCP connection aborted by sending a RST packet.

C:	The connection.

connection_pending¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated for each still-open TCP connection when Bro terminates.

C:	The connection.

connection_SYN_packet¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, pkt: `SYN_packet`)

Generated for a SYN packet. Bro raises this event for every SYN packet seen by its TCP analyzer.

C:	The connection.
Pkt:	Information extracted from the SYN packet.

Note

This event has quite low-level semantics and can potentially be expensive to generate. It should only be used if one really needs the specific information passed into the handler via the pkt argument. If not, handling one of the other connection_* events is typically the better approach.

connection_first_ACK¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated for the first ACK packet seen for a TCP connection from its originator.

C:	The connection.

Note

This event has quite low-level semantics and should be used only rarely.

connection_EOF¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`)

Generated at the end of reassembled TCP connections. The TCP reassembler raised the event once for each endpoint of a connection when it finished reassembling the corresponding side of the communication.

C:	The connection.
Is_orig:	True if the event is raised for the originator side.

tcp_packet¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, flags: `string`, seq: `count`, ack: `count`, len: `count`, payload: `string`)

Generated for every TCP packet. This is a very low-level and expensive event that should be avoided when at all possible. It’s usually infeasible to handle when processing even medium volumes of traffic in real-time. It’s slightly better than new_packet because it affects only TCP, but not much. That said, if you work from a trace and want to do some packet-level analysis, it may come in handy.

C:	The connection the packet is part of.
Is_orig:	True if the packet was sent by the connection’s originator.
Flags:	A string with the packet’s TCP flags. In the string, each character corresponds to one set flag, as follows: `S` -> SYN; `F` -> FIN; `R` -> RST; `A` -> ACK; `P` -> PUSH.
Seq:	The packet’s relative TCP sequence number.
Ack:	If the ACK flag is set for the packet, the packet’s relative ACK number, else zero.
Len:	The length of the TCP payload, as specified in the packet header.
Payload:	The raw TCP payload. Note that this may be shorter than len if the packet was not fully captured.

tcp_option¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, opt: `count`, optlen: `count`)

Generated for each option found in a TCP header. Like many of the tcp_* events, this is a very low-level event and potentially expensive as it may be raised very often.

C:	The connection the packet is part of.
Is_orig:	True if the packet was sent by the connection’s originator.
Opt:	The numerical option number, as found in the TCP header.
Optlen:	The length of the options value.

Note

There is currently no way to get the actual option value, if any.

tcp_contents¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, seq: `count`, contents: `string`)

Generated for each chunk of reassembled TCP payload. When content delivery is enabled for a TCP connection (via tcp_content_delivery_ports_orig, tcp_content_delivery_ports_resp, tcp_content_deliver_all_orig, tcp_content_deliver_all_resp), this event is raised for each chunk of in-order payload reconstructed from the packet stream. Note that this event is potentially expensive if many connections carry significant amounts of data as then all that data needs to be passed on to the scripting layer.

C:	The connection the payload is part of.
Is_orig:	True if the packet was sent by the connection’s originator.
Seq:	The sequence number corresponding to the first byte of the payload chunk.
Contents:	The raw payload, which will be non-empty.

Note

The payload received by this event is the same that is also passed into application-layer protocol analyzers internally. Subsequent invocations of this event for the same connection receive non-overlapping in-order chunks of its TCP payload stream. It is however undefined what size each chunk has; while Bro passes the data on as soon as possible, specifics depend on network-level effects such as latency, acknowledgements, reordering, etc.

tcp_rexmit¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, seq: `count`, len: `count`, data_in_flight: `count`, window: `count`)

Generated if a TCP flow crosses a retransmission threshold, per ‘T’/’t’ history reporting.

C:	The connection record for the TCP connection.
Is_orig:	True if the event is raised for the originator side.
Threshold:	the threshold that was crossed

Generated when failing to write contents of a TCP stream to a file.

C:	The connection whose contents are being recorded.

U:	The connection record for the corresponding UDP flow.

udp_reply¶

Type:	`event` (u: `connection`)

Generated for each packet sent by a UDP flow’s responder. This a potentially expensive event due to the volume of UDP traffic and should be used with care.

udp_contents¶

Type:	`event` (u: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, contents: `string`)

Generated for UDP packets to pass on their payload. As the number of UDP packets can be very large, this event is normally raised only for those on ports configured in udp_content_delivery_ports_orig (for packets sent by the flow’s originator) or udp_content_delivery_ports_resp (for packets sent by the flow’s responder). However, delivery can be enabled for all UDP request and reply packets by setting udp_content_deliver_all_orig or udp_content_deliver_all_resp, respectively. Note that this event is also raised for all matching UDP packets, including empty ones.

U:	The connection record for the corresponding UDP flow.
Is_orig:	True if the event is raised for the originator side.
Contents:	TODO.

udp_multiple_checksum_errors¶

Type:	`event` (u: `connection`, is_orig: `bool`, threshold: `count`)

Generated if a UDP flow crosses a checksum-error threshold, per ‘C’/’c’ history reporting.

U:	The connection record for the corresponding UDP flow.
Is_orig:	True if the event is raised for the originator side.
Threshold:	the threshold that was crossed

Bro::XMPP ¶

XMPP analyzer (StartTLS only)

Components¶

Analyzer::ANALYZER_XMPP

Events¶

xmpp_starttls¶

Type:	`event` (c: `connection`)

Generated when a XMPP connection goes encrypted after a successful StartTLS exchange between the client and the server.

C:	The connection.

Bro::ZIP ¶

Generic ZIP support analyzer

Components¶

Analyzer::ANALYZER_ZIP

C:	The connection.
Reply_line:	The reply as returned by the server

URI:	The URI to unescape.
Returns:	The unescaped URI with all `%xx` groups decoded.

C:	The connection.
Lport:	The corresponding request’s local port.
Rport:	The corresponding request’s remote port.
User_id:	The user id returned by the reply.
System:	The operating system returned by the reply.

Cid:	The connection ID.
New_state:	The new state of the login analyzer. See `get_login_state` for possible values.
Returns:	Returns false if cid is not an active connection or is not tagged as a login analyzer, and true otherwise.

Name:	The NetBIOS name type.
Returns:	The numeric value of name.

Cid:	The connection ID.
Direction:	Controls what sides of the connection to record. The argument can take one of the four values: `CONTENTS_NONE`: Stop recording the connection’s content. `CONTENTS_ORIG`: Record the data sent by the connection originator (often the client). `CONTENTS_RESP`: Record the data sent by the connection responder (often the server). `CONTENTS_BOTH`: Record the data sent in both directions. Results in the two directions being intermixed in the file, in the order the data was seen by Bro.
F:	The file handle of the file to write the contents to.
Returns:	Returns false if cid does not point to an active connection, and true otherwise.
