Add an heuristic to detect/ignore some anomalous TCP ACK packets (#1948)
In some networks, there are some anomalous TCP flows where the smallest
ACK packets have some kind of zero padding.
It looks like the IP and TCP headers in those frames wrongly consider the
0x00 Ethernet padding bytes as part of the TCP payload.
While this kind of packets is perfectly valid per-se, in some conditions
they might be treated by the TCP reassembler logic as (partial) overlaps,
deceiving the classification engine.
Add an heuristic to detect these packets and to ignore them, allowing
correct detection/classification.

This heuristic is configurable. Default value:
* in the library, it is disabled
* in `ndpiReader` and in the fuzzers, it is enabled (to ease testing)

Credit to @vel21ripn for the initial patch.

Simplify ndpi_internal_guess_undetected_protocol() (#1941)
`ndpi_guess_undetected_protocol()/ndpi_internal_guess_undetected_protocol()`
is a strange function:
* it is exported by the library and it is actively used by `ntopng`
* it is intrinsecally ipv4-only
* it returns basically something like "classification_by_ip"/"classification_by_port"
(these information have already been calculated in `ndpi_do_guess()`...)
* it access the bittorrent LRU caches (similarly to
`ndpi_detection_giveup()` but without all the other caches...)

So:
* make the interface IPv4/6 agnostic
* use the classifications already available

This work will allow to make the Bittorrent caches IPV6-aware (see
81e1ea5).

Handle Dropbox classification "by-port" in the "standard" way.

Ookla: rework detection (#1922)
The logic of the LRU cache has been changed: once we know an ip has
connected to an Ookla server, all the following (unknown) flows (for
a short time interval) from the same ip to the port 8080 are treated
as Ookla ones.

Most of the changes in this commit are about introducing the concept of
"aggressive detection". In some cases, to properly detect a
protocol we might use some statistical/behavior logic that, from one
side, let us to identify the protocol more often but, from the other
side, might lead to some false positives.
To allow the user/application to easily detect when such logic has been
triggered, the new confidence value `NDPI_CONFIDENCE_DPI_AGGRESSIVE` has been
added.
It is always possible to disable/configure this kind of logic via the
API.

Detection of Ookla flows using plain TLS over port 8080 is the first
example of aggressive detection in nDPI.

Tested with:
* Android 9.0 with app 4.8.3
* Ubuntu 20.04 with Firefox 110
* Win 10 with app 1.15 and 1.16
* Win 10 with Chrome 108, Edge 108 and Firefox 106

fuzz: some improvements and add two new fuzzers (#1881)
Remove `FUZZING_BUILD_MODE_UNSAFE_FOR_PRODUCTION` define from
`fuzz/Makefile.am`; it is already included by the main configure script
(when fuzzing).

Add a knob to force disabling of AESNI optimizations: this way we can
fuzz also no-aesni crypto code.

Move CRC32 algorithm into the library.

Add some fake traces to extend fuzzing coverage. Note that these traces
are hand-made (via scapy/curl) and must not be used as "proof" that the
dissectors are really able to identify this kind of traffic.

Some small updates to some dissectors:

CSGO: remove a wrong rule (never triggered, BTW). Any UDP packet starting
with "VS01" will be classified as STEAM (see steam.c around line 111).
Googling it, it seems right so.

XBOX: XBOX only analyses UDP flows while HTTP only TCP ones; therefore
that condition is false.

RTP, STUN: removed useless "break"s

Zattoo: `flow->zattoo_stage` is never set to any values greater or equal
to 5, so these checks are never true.

PPStream: `flow->l4.udp.ppstream_stage` is never read. Delete it.

TeamSpeak: we check for `flow->packet_counter == 3` just above, so the
following check `flow->packet_counter >= 3` is always false.

fuzz: add a new fuzzer to test serialization/deserialization code (#1876)
Autodetecting the needed buffer size is quite complex (especially with
float/double values) so it is mandatory to properly check for
`ndpi_snprintf` truncation.
These issues have been undetected so far probably because the default
buffer is big enough for all common cases.

Add an example of usage of `ndpi_deserialize_clone_all()` (taken from
`ntopng`)

fuzz: add fuzzer testing nDPI (initial) configurations (#1830)
The goal of this fuzzer is to test init and deinit of the library, with
different configurations. In details:
* random memory allocation failures, even during init phase
* random `ndpi_init_prefs` parameter of `ndpi_init_detection_module()`
* random LRU caches sizes
* random bitmask of enabled protocols
* random parameters of `ndpi_set_detection_preferences()`
* random initialization of opportunistic TLS
* random load/don't load of configuration files

This new fuzzer is a C++ file, because it uses `FuzzedDataProvider`
class (see
https://github.com/google/fuzzing/blob/master/docs/split-inputs.md).
Note that the (existing) fuzzers need to be linked with C++ compiler
anyway, so this new fuzzer doesn't add any new requirements.

Add support for LTO and Gold linker (#1812)
This commit add (optional) support for Link-Time-Optimization and Gold
linker.
This is the first, mandatory step needed to make nDPI compliant with
"introspector" sanitizer requirements in OSS-Fuzz: see
https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/issues/8939

Gold linker is not supported by Windows and by macOS, so this feature is
disabled by default. It has been enable in CI in two linux targets
("latest" gcc and clang).

Fix some warnings triggered by LTO.

The changes in `src/lib/ndpi_serializer.c` seams reasonable.
However, the change in `tests/unit/unit.c` is due to the following
warning, which seems to be a false positive.

```
unit.c: In function ‘serializerUnitTest’:
ndpi_serializer.c:2258:13: error: ‘MEM[(struct ndpi_private_serializer *)&deserializer].buffer.size’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
unit.c:67:31: note: ‘MEM[(struct ndpi_private_serializer *)&deserializer].buffer.size’ was declared here
   67 |   ndpi_serializer serializer, deserializer;
      |                               ^
ndpi_serializer.c:2605:10: error: ‘MEM[(struct ndpi_private_serializer *)&deserializer].status.buffer.size_used’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
unit.c:67:31: note: ‘MEM[(struct ndpi_private_serializer *)&deserializer].status.buffer.size_used’ was declared here
   67 |   ndpi_serializer serializer, deserializer;
```
Since this warning is triggered only with an old version of gcc and
`tests/unit/unit.c` is used only during the tests, the easiest fix has
been applied.

Some (unknown to me) combinations of OS and compiler trigger the
following warnings at linker time (with sanitizer and gold linker)
```
/usr/bin/ld.gold: warning: Cannot export local symbol '__asan_report_load1_asm'
/usr/bin/ld.gold: warning: Cannot export local symbol '__asan_report_load2_asm'

/usr/bin/ld.gold: warning: Cannot export local symbol '__asan_report_store2_asm'
/usr/bin/ld.gold: warning: Cannot export local symbol '__asan_report_store4_asm'
[..]
```
I have not found any references to this kind of message, with the only
exception of https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25975
which seems to suggest that these messages can be safely ignored.
In any case, the compilation results are sound.

Fix `clean` target in the Makefile in the `example` directory.

In OSS-Fuzz enviroments, `fuzz_ndpi_reader` reports a strange link error
(as always, when the gold linker is involved...).
It's come out that the culprit was the `tempnam` function: the code has
been changed to use `tmpfile` instead. No sure why... :(

Fuzzing target `fuzz_ndpi_reader.c` doesn't use `libndpiReader.a`
anymore: this way we can use `--with-only-libndpi` flag on Oss-Fuzz builds
as workaround for the "missing dependencies errors" described in

Add basic profiling of memory allocations on data-path (#1789)
The goal is to have an idea of the memory allocation sizes performed in
the **library data-path**, i.e. excluding init/deinit phases and all
the allocations made by the application itself.
In other words, how much memory is needed per-flow, by nDPI, other than
`struct ndpi_flow_struct`?

It works only on single-thread configurations.

It is not enabled by default (in the unit tests) since different
canfiguration options (example: `--enable-pcre`) lead to diffferent
results.

Add support for flow client/server information (#1671)
In a lot of places in ndPI we use *packet* source/dest info
(address/port/direction) when we are interested in *flow* client/server
info, instead.

Add basic logic to autodetect this kind of information.

nDPI doesn't perform any "flow management" itself but this task is
delegated to the external application. It is then likely that the
application might provide more reliable hints about flow
client/server direction and about the TCP handshake presence: in that case,
these information might be (optionally) passed to the library, disabling
the internal "autodetect" logic.

These new fields have been used in some LRU caches and in the "guessing"
algorithm.
It is quite likely that some other code needs to be updated.

That code is not really used and it has not been updated for a very long

Correlation among flows is achieved via LRU caches.

This change allows to further reduce memory consumption (see also
91bb77a8).

At nDPI 4.0 (more precisly, at a6b10cf, because memory stats
were wrong until that commit):
```
nDPI Memory statistics:
	nDPI Memory (once):      221.15 KB
	Flow Memory (per flow):  2.94 KB
```
Now:
```
nDPI Memory statistics:
	nDPI Memory (once):      235.27 KB
	Flow Memory (per flow):  688 B        <--------

i.e. memory usage per flow has been reduced by 77%.

Fix writes to flow->protos union fields (#1354)
We can write to `flow->protos` only after a proper classification.

This issue has been found in Kerberos, DHCP, HTTP, STUN, IMO, FTP,
SMTP, IMAP and POP code.
There are two kinds of fixes:
 * write to `flow->protos` only if a final protocol has been detected
 * move protocol state out of `flow->protos`
The hard part is to find, for each protocol, the right tradeoff between
memory usage and code complexity.

Handle Kerberos like DNS: if we find a request, we set the protocol
and an extra callback to further parsing the reply.

For all the other protocols, move the state out of `flow->protos`. This
is an issue only for the FTP/MAIL stuff.

Add DHCP Class Identification value to the output of ndpiReader and to
the Jason serialization.

d62ae567d1 Add (optional) dependency on external libraries: libgcrypt and libgpg-error
To support QUIC payload and header decryption, it is necessary to choose an
external crypto library to handle the low-level crypto stuff. Since we will
use some Wireshark code, it is quite natural to choose the same library used
by Wireshark itself: libgcrypt.

More precisely, we will use libgcrypt and libgpg-error.
Both libraries have LGPL license, so there should be no issue from this point
of view.

These libraries are not required to build nDPI, and their usage is optional:
nDPI will keep working (and compiling) even if they are not available.
However, without them, QUIC sub-classification is next to impossible.
The configure flag "--disable-gcrypt" forces the build system to ignore these
libraries.

libgpg-error is only used for debug to have meaningful error messages and its
usage is trivial.
The same cannot be said for libgcrypt because its initialization is a significant
issue.

The rest of this commit message try explaining how libgcrypt is
initialized.

According to the documentation
   https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gcrypt/Initializing-the-library.html
   https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gcrypt/Multi_002dThreading.html#Multi_002dThreading
libgcrypt must be initialized before using it, but such initialization should
be performed by the actual application and not by any library.

Forcing the users to proper initialize libgcrypt in their own code seems
unreasonable: most people using nDPI might be complete unaware of any crypto
stuff and update each and every one application linking to nDPI with specific
libgcrypt code should be out of question, anyway.

Fortunately, it seems a workaround exists to initialize libgcrypt in a library
    https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gcrypt-devel/2003-August/000458.html

Therefore, we could provide a wrapper to this initialization stuff in a nDPI
function. Unfortunately nDPI API lacks a global init function that must be
called only once, before any other functions. We could add it, but that would
be a major API break.
AFAIK, ndpi_init_detection_module() might be called multiple times, for example
to create multiple independent dpi engines in the same program.

The proposed solution is to (optionally) initialize libgcrypt in
ndpi_init_detection_module() anyway:
* if the actual application doesn't directly use libgcrypt and only calls
  ndpi_init_detection_module() once, everything is formally correct and it
  should work out of the box [by far the most common user case];
* if the actual application already uses libgcrypt directly, it already
  performs the required initialization. In this case the ndpi_prefs.ndpi_dont_init_libgcrypt
  flag should be passed to ndpi_init_detection_module() to avoid further
  initializations.

The only scenario not supported by this solution is when the application is
unaware of libgcrypt and calls ndpi_init_detection_module() multiple times
concurrently. But this scenario should be uncommon.

A completely different option should be to switch to another crypto library,
with a huge impact on the QUIC dissector code.

Bottom line: crypto is hard, using libgcrypt is complex and the proposed
initialization, even if not perfect, should cover the most frequent user
cases and should work, for the time being.
If anyone has some suggestions...
