Call for testing: Suricata 4.1rc2 released

Suricata 4.1rc2 is ready for testing. We’re hoping that this will be the final release candidate so that 4.1 can be released just before Suricon next month.

Main new features are inclusion of the protocols SMBv1/2/3, NFSv4, Kerberos,FTP, DHCP, IKEv2, as well as improvements on Linux capture side via AF_PACKET XDP support and on Windows IPS side via WinDivert. The growth of Rust usage inside Suricata continues as most of the new protocols have been implemented in Rust.

Most important change for going from RC1 to RC2 is that we have enabled Rust support by default. If Rust is installed, it will be used.

Protocol updates

  • SMBv1/2/3 parsing, logging, file extraction
  • TLS 1.3 parsing and logging (Mats Klepsland)
  • JA3 TLS client fingerprinting (Mats Klepsland)
  • TFTP: basic logging (Pascal Delalande and Clément Galland)
  • FTP: file extraction
  • Kerberos parser and logger (Pierre Chifflier)
  • IKEv2 parser and logger (Pierre Chifflier)
  • DHCP parser and logger
  • Flow tracking for ICMPv4
  • Initial NFS4 support
  • HTTP: handle sessions that only have a response, or start with a response
  • HTTP Flash file decompression support (Giuseppe Longo)

Output and logging

  • File extraction v2: deduplication; hash-based naming; json metadata and cleanup tooling
  • Eve metadata: from rules (metadata keyword) and traffic (flowbits etc)
  • Eve: new more compact DNS record format (Giuseppe Longo)
  • Pcap directory mode: process all pcaps in a directory (Danny Browning)
  • Compressed PCAP logging (Max Fillinger)
  • Expanded XFF support (Maurizio Abba)
  • Community Flow Id support (common ID between Suricata and Bro/Zeek)

Packet Capture

  • AF_PACKET XDP and eBPF support for high speed packet capture
  • Windows IPS: WinDivert support (Jacob Masen-Smith)

Misc

  • Windows: MinGW is now supported
  • Detect: transformation keyword support
  • Bundled Suricata-Update
  • Per device multi-tenancy

Major changes since 4.1rc1

  • Rust support is enabled by default
  • Community Flow Id support (common ID between Suricata and Bro/Zeek)
  • Updates and fixes for dealing with SegmentSmack/FragmentSmack
  • Update Suricata-Update to 1.0.0rc2

Suricata 3.1RC1 is out!

Photo by Eric Leblond

We’re happy to announce Suricata 3.1RC1. The plan is to release the stable within a few weeks, so please help us test this release!

Lots of improvements on the performance side:

  • Hyperscan integration for MPM and SPM. If installed, Hyperscan is now the default. See this guide.
  • Rewrite of the detection engine, simplifying rule grouping. This reduces memory usage and startup time in many scenarios.

Packet capture got a lot of love:

  • AF_PACKET support for tpacketv3
  • NETMAP usability improvements, especially on FreeBSD

A new keyword ‘tls_sni’ was added, including MPM support. It allows matching on the TLS SNI field.

This release also bundles libhtp 0.5.20, in which we address a number of issues Steffen Ullrich of HTTP Evader reported.

Other than that, lots of cleanups and optimizations:

  • locking has been much simplified
  • TCP and IPv6 decoder optimizations
  • unittest cleanups
  • AFL fuzzing options were added
