There are no reasons to keep entropy calculation and sanity checks code
on the "guessing" algorithm.
BTW, this change also fix the entropy calculation for non TCP/UDP/ICMP
flows
Try to populate the FPC-DNS cache using directly the info from the current
packet, and not from the metadata saved in `struct ndpi_flow_struct`. This
will be important when adding monitoring support
In some scenarios, you might not be interested in flow metadata or
flow-risks at all, but you might want only flow (sub-)classification.
Examples: you only want to forward the traffic according to the
classification or you are only interested in some protocol statistics.
Create a new configuration file (for `ndpiReader`, but you can trivially
adapt it for the library itself) allowing exactly that. You can use it
via: `ndpiReader --conf=example/only_classification.conf ...`
Note that this way, the nDPI overhead is lower because it might need
less packets per flow:
* TLS: nDPI processes only the CH (in most cases) and not also the SH
and certificates
* DNS: only the request is processed (instead of both request and
response)
We might extend the same "shortcut-logic" (stop processing the flow
immediately when there is a final sub-classification) for others
protocols.
Add the configuration options to enable/disable the extraction of some
TLS metadata.
Last step of removing JA3C fingerprint
Remove some duplicate tests: testing with ja4c/ja3s disabled is already
performed by `disable_metadata_and_flowrisks` configuration.
Close:#2551
It might be usefull to be able to match traffic against a list of
suspicious JA4C fingerprints
Use the same code/logic/infrastructure used for JA3C (note that we are
going to remove JA3C...)
See: #2551
Allow nDPI to process the entire flows and not only the first N packets.
Usefull when the application is interested in some metadata spanning the
entire life of the session.
As initial step, only STUN flows can be put in monitoring.
See `doc/monitoring.md` for further details.
This feature is disabled by default.
Close#2583
ndpiReader --cfg=dpi.address_cache_size,1000 -i <pcap>.pcap
In the above example the cache has up to 1000 entries.
In jcase ndpiReader exports data in JSON, the cache hostname (if found) is exported in the field server_hostname
Add configurable options for whether to include client port or client IP
in the flow's protocol guesses. This defaults to include both client
port/IP if the protocol is not guessed with the server IP/port.
This is intended for when flow direction detection is enabled, so we
know that sport = client port, dport = server port.
Based on the paper: "Fingerprinting Obfuscated Proxy Traffic with
Encapsulated TLS Handshakes".
See: https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity24/presentation/xue-fingerprinting
Basic idea:
* the packets/bytes distribution of a TLS handshake is quite unique
* this fingerprint is still detectable if the handshake is
encrypted/proxied/obfuscated
All heuristics are disabled by default.
Based on the paper: "OpenVPN is Open to VPN Fingerprinting"
See: https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity22/presentation/xue-diwen
Basic idea:
* the distribution of the first byte of the messages (i.e. the distribution
of the op-codes) is quite unique
* this fingerprint might be still detectable even if the OpenVPN packets are
somehow fully encrypted/obfuscated
The heuristic is disabled by default.
Allow sub-classification of OpenVPN/Wireguard flows using their server IP.
That is useful to detect the specific VPN application/app used.
At the moment, the supported protocols are: Mullvad, NordVPN, ProtonVPN.
This feature is configurable.
The Train Real Time Data Protocol (TRDP) is a UDP/TCP-based communication protocol designed for IP networks in trains, enabling data exchange between devices such as door controls and air conditioning systems. It is standardized by the IEC under IEC 61375-2-3 and is not related to the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
ISO/IEC 14908-4 defines how to tunnel Control Network Protocol (CNP) over IP networks. It encapsulates protocols like EIA-709, EIA-600, and CNP, making it a versatile solution for building automation and control systems.
