Runtime Options¶

MQTT::max_payload_size ¶

Type: count
Attributes: &redef
Default: 100

The maximum payload size to allocate for the purpose of payload information in mqtt_publish events (and the default MQTT logs generated from that).

Weird::sampling_duration ¶

Type: interval
Attributes: &redef
Default: 10.0 mins

How long a weird of a given type is allowed to keep state/counters in memory. For “net” weirds an expiration timer starts per weird name when first initializing its counter. For “flow” weirds an expiration timer starts once per src/dst IP pair for the first weird of any name. For “conn” weirds, counters and expiration timers are kept for the duration of the connection for each named weird and reset when necessary. E.g. if a “conn” weird by the name of “foo” is seen more than Weird::sampling_threshold times, then an expiration timer begins for “foo” and upon triggering will reset the counter for “foo” and unthrottle its rate-limiting until it once again exceeds the threshold.

Weird::sampling_global_list ¶

Type: set [string]
Attributes: &redef
Default: {}

Rate-limits weird names in the table globally instead of per connection/flow.

Weird::sampling_rate ¶

Type: count
Attributes: &redef
Default: 1000

The rate-limiting sampling rate. One out of every of this number of rate-limited weirds of a given type will be allowed to raise events for further script-layer handling. Setting the sampling rate to 0 will disable all output of rate-limited weirds.

Weird::sampling_threshold ¶

Type: count
Attributes: &redef
Default: 25

How many weirds of a given type to tolerate before sampling begins. I.e. this many consecutive weirds of a given type will be allowed to raise events for script-layer handling before being rate-limited.

Weird::sampling_whitelist ¶

Type: set [string]
Attributes: &redef
Default: {}

Prevents rate-limiting sampling of any weirds named in the table.

default_file_bof_buffer_size ¶

Type: count
Attributes: &redef
Default: 4096

Default amount of bytes that file analysis will buffer in order to use for mime type matching. File analyzers attached at the time of mime type matching or later, will receive a copy of this buffer.

Default amount of time a file can be inactive before the file analysis gives up and discards any internal state related to the file.

ignore_checksums_nets ¶

Type: set [subnet]

Checksums are ignored for all packets with a src address within this set of networks. Useful for cases where a host might be seeing packets collected from local hosts before checksums were applied by hardware. This frequently manifests when sniffing a local management interface on a host and Zeek sees packets before the hardware has had a chance to apply the checksums.

udp_content_delivery_ports_use_resp ¶

Type: bool
Attributes: &redef
Default: F

Whether ports given in udp_content_delivery_ports_orig and udp_content_delivery_ports_resp are in terms of UDP packet’s destination port or the UDP connection’s “responder” port.

Default: 512

The initial capacity, in bytes, that will be allocated to the BinPAC flowbuffer of a given connection/analyzer. If the buffer is later contracted, its capacity is also reduced to this size.

BinPAC::flowbuffer_contract_threshold ¶

Type: count
Attributes: &redef
Default: 2097152

The threshold, in bytes, at which the BinPAC flowbuffer of a given connection/analyzer will have its capacity contracted to BinPAC::flowbuffer_capacity_min after parsing a full unit. I.e. this is the maximum capacity to reserve in between the parsing of units. If, after parsing a unit, the flowbuffer capacity is greater than this value, it will be contracted.

DCE_RPC::max_cmd_reassembly ¶

Type: count
Attributes: &redef
Default: 20

The maximum number of simultaneous fragmented commands that the DCE_RPC analyzer will tolerate before the it will generate a weird and skip further input.

Default: {}

For DNS servers in these sets, omit processing the ADDL records they include in their replies.

dns_skip_all_addl ¶

Type

bool

Attributes

&redef

Default

T

Redefinition

from policy/protocols/dns/auth-addl.zeek

=:

If true, all DNS ADDL records are skipped.

dns_skip_all_auth ¶

Type

bool

Attributes

&redef

Default

T

Redefinition

from policy/protocols/dns/auth-addl.zeek

=:

If true, all DNS AUTH records are skipped.

dns_skip_auth ¶

Type: set [addr]

load_sample_freq ¶

Type: count
Attributes: &redef
Default: 20

Rate at which to generate load_sample events. As all events, the event is only generated if you’ve also defined a load_sample handler. Units are inverse number of packets; e.g., a value of 20 means “roughly one in every 20 packets”.

Types¶

Analyzer::disabling_analyzer ¶

Type: hook (c: connection, atype: AllAnalyzers::Tag, aid: count) : bool
Attributes: &redef

A hook taking a connection, analyzer tag and analyzer id that can be used to veto disabling protocol analyzers. Specifically, an analyzer can be prevented from being disabled by using a break statement within the hook. This hook is invoked synchronously during a disable_analyzer call.

Scripts implementing this hook should have other logic that will eventually disable the analyzer for the given connection. That is, if a script vetoes disabling an analyzer, it takes responsibility for a later call to disable_analyzer, which may be never.

C: The connection
Atype: The type / tag of the analyzer being disabled.
Aid: The analyzer ID.

AnalyzerConfirmationInfo ¶

Type

record

c: connection &optional: The connection related to this confirmation, if any. This field may be set if there’s any connection related information available for this confirmation. For protocol analyzers it is guaranteed to be set, but may also be added by file analyzers as additional contextual information.
f: fa_file &optional: The file object related to this confirmation, if any.
aid: count &optional: Specific analyzer instance that can be used to reference the analyzer when using builtin functions like disable_analyzer.

Generic analyzer confirmation info record.
