I was wondering if anyone can tell me why the sha256 hash functionality isn't turned on by default for the files log. I am working on something and needed to turn it on. I normally only use Bro to process pcap files offline and have never used it on a live network. Does it cause performance issues? Thanks, Shawn

[Bro] Assertion failure, Tag.cc

by Michael Fry

Hi All, Has anyone encountered the assertion failure below with Bro 2.4.1? This is happening with live traffic at least a couple times a day since upgrading from Bro 2.3.2. I didn't see anything the bug tracker, so thought I'd float it here first. listening on zc:99@1, capture length 8192 bytes 1459786307.312525 processing suspended 1459786307.312525 processing continued 1459802619.911190 Failed to open GeoIP City database: /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCity.dat 1459802619.911190 Fell back to GeoIP Country database 1459802619.911190 Failed to open GeoIP Cityv6 database: /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCityv6.dat bro: /home/mfry/dev/bro24/bro-2.4.1/src/Tag.cc:72: EnumVal* Tag::AsEnumVal(EnumType*) const: Assertion `type == 0 && subtype == 0' failed. /opt/bro/share/broctl/scripts/run-bro: line 100: 11312 Aborted (core dumped) nohup ${pin_command} $pin_cpu "$mybro" "$@" Regards, Michael

[Bro] PF_RING ZC Config

by Dave Crawford

Would anyone happen to have documentation for configuring ZC and Bro? I have NTop's PF_RING and ixgbe driver packages installed, the proper license in /etc/pf_ring, and have compiled Bro with the NTop libraries but I'm seeing the kernel error below along with a ton of “split routing” messages in weird.conf, so I suspect the flows aren’t being load balanced correctly. Jun 22 15:10:03 win-csignsm-01 kernel: [11060.244524] [PF_RING] Unable to activate two or more ZC sockets on the same interface eth6/link direction The monitored NIC is an Intel X520-LR1. Contents of /etc/pf_ring/zc/ixgbe/ixgbe.conf: RSS=10 allow_unsupported_sfp=0 Contents of /etc/pf_ring/hugepages.conf node=1 hugepages=1024 And Bro is configured as: [MID_INT] type=worker host=10.20.30.123 interface=zc:eth6 lb_method=pf_ring lb_procs=10 pin_cpus=10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 Thanks! -Dave

[Bro] number of connections to the same port in 100 connections

by Salman, Tara

Hi everyone, I am trying to find the number of connections having the same source ip and destination port in the last 100 connection using bro commands I managed to get the number in all connections using: bro-cut id.orig_h id.orgi_p < conn.log | sort| uniq -c| sort -rn which is working fine but i need to modify this to include only the last 100 connections in the log file. is there a way to do that ? thanks in advance

[Bro] IP <-> MAC Address

by Maxime Lambert

Hi everyone, Is there a way to obtain the source and/or destination mac address from a connection record ? I've been looking through the scripts roam.bro, known-devices.bro and known-devices-and-hostnames.bro, but I'am not sure how it works. I'm wondering it I missed something. I've this 2 files : cat /opt/bro/logs/current/ known_devices.log #separator \x09 #set_separator , #empty_field (empty) #unset_field - #path known_devices #open 2016-06-30-09-08-33 #fields ts mac dhcp_host_name #types time string string 1467260412.707446 00:11:22:33:44:55 android-684541321657432 1467260416.339490 00:11:22:33:44:66 android-213857946354179 1467260447.207524 00:11:22:33:44:77 iPhone-XXXX 1467261341.099450 00:11:22:33:44:88 iPhone -YYYY 1467271833.863474 00:11:22:33:44:99 iPhone -ZZZZ 1467272311.523445 00:11:22:33:44:00 bitcoin-computer 1467272443.463545 00:11:22:33:44:11 iPhone-UUUU 1467272517.623516 00:11:22:33:44:22 iPhone-TTTT 1467272692.387523 00:11:22:33:44:33 iPhone-VVVV 1467273783.775451 00:11:22:33:44:44 SDM-00239 1467273899.667460 00:11:22:33:33:55 iPhone-AAAA AND cat /opt/bro/logs/current/ dhcp.log #separator \x09 #set_separator , #empty_field (empty) #unset_field - #path dhcp #open 2016-06-30-09-51-23 #fields ts uid id.orig_h id.orig_p id.resp_h id.resp_p mac assigned_ip lease_time trans_id #types time string addr port addr port string addr interval count 1467264083.815462 C4jfqvVzuapDS69dz 255.255.255.255 68 192.X.X.X 67 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 192.X.X.X 86400.000000 146703799 1467264083.815462 C4jfqvVzuapDS69dz 255.255.255.255 68 192.X.X.X 67 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 192.X.X.X 86400.000000 146703799 1467264083.815462 C4jfqvVzuapDS69dz 255.255.255.255 68 192.X.X.X 67 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 192.X.X.X 86400.000000 146703799 1467264083.815462 C4jfqvVzuapDS69dz 255.255.255.255 68 192.X.X.X 67 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 192.X.X.X 86400.000000 146703799 So what I want is a fusion between dhcp.log and know-devices.log to know to each devices their IP and MAC address. I think bro must monitor ARP Request/Response to an output log file like this : ts string (Mac Addr) string (hostname) string (IP Addr) 1467260401.707446 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Android-XXXXXXXXXXX X.X.X.X Or maybe anyone has another solution ? Thank you for your help. Maxime Lambert

Re: [Bro] delay pcap processing

Call suspend_processing() from scriptland until your table is ready.

[Bro] Bro drop packets while not using CPU at full capacity

by Hashem Alaidaros

Hi All I use Bro for my PhD research, I add scripts in Bro and then see the CPU and packet drop rate, using @load stats.bro. I'm using Bro 2.3 with standard libcap. I use tcpreplay from Machine A to replay the pre-captured traffic into Bro multi-core machine B through port mirror switch. I replay the traffic from 100 to 1000 Mbps , When reach 200 Mbps and onward, packet start drop and increases. Surprisingly, the CPU is not fully utilized, CPU still 40% usage. What we know is that drop packet resulted from CPU full load, but in our case CPU still less than 50%, so My question, what is the cause of this packet drop? Is it normal? Best regards Aidaros
