Issue: 4162 This commit adds a floating-point analog to `uint.rs` targeted initially to be used by the forthcoming entropy keyword.
This commit adds
- Parser for the entropy keyword
- Calculation of content the Shannon entropy value
Issue: 4162
The entropy keyword syntax is the keyword entropy followed by options
and the entropy value for comparison.
The minimum entropy keyword specification is:
entropy: value <entropy-spec>
This results in the calculated entropy value being compared with
<entropy-spec> with the equality operator.
A match occurs when the values and operator agree. This example matches
if the calculated and entropy value are the same.
When entropy keyword options are specified, all options and "value" must
be comma-separated. Options and value may be specified in any order.
Options have default values:
- bytes is equal to the current content length
- offset is 0
- comparison with value is equality
entropy: [bytes <byteval>] [offset <offsetval>] value <entropy-spec>
Using default values:
entropy: bytes 0, offset 0, value =<entropy-spec>
<entropy-spec> is: <operator> (see below) and a value, e.g., "< 4.1"
The following operators are available from the float crate:
- = (default): Match when calculated entropy value equals specified entropy value
- < Match when calculated entropy value is strictly less than specified entropy value
- <= Match when calculated entropy value is less than or equal to specified entropy value
- > Match when calculated entropy value is strictly greater than specified entropy value
- >= Match when calculated entropy value is greater than or equal to specified entropy value
- != Match when calculated entropy value is not equal to specified entropy value
- x-y Match when calculated entropy value is in the range, exclusive
- !x-y Match when calculated entropy value is not in the range, exclusive
This commit adds keyword/build support for the entropy keyword. The entropy keyword compares an entropy value with a value calculated according to the Shannon entropy on the available content. Issue: 4162
This commit updates the - Upgrade notes for 7 to 8 - Payload keyword section Both are update to document the new entropy keyword.
This commit causes the content inspection engine to recognize and invoke the entropy "match" function when the entropy keyword is used. Issue: 4162
