Suricata IDS/IPS Rules Parser

A treetop grammar for turning the weird and whacky IDS/IPS rules used by Snort and Suricata into an array of hashes.

Features

Rules are of the format

alert PROTO HOMENET HOMEPORTS -> EXTNET EXTPORTS (KEY_VALUE_PAIRS)

This grammar will parse the rules and them in to

[
  {:application => {:protocol => PROTO,
                    :src_hosts => HOMENET,
                    :src_ports => HOMEPORTS,
                    :dst_hosts => EXTNET,
                    :dst_ports => EXTPORTS}
   :signature =>   {:key1 => :value1,
                    :key2 => :value2,
                    .........}
   },
   ....
]

Examples

require 'rubygems'
require 'ids_rules_parser'
parser = IDSRulesParser.new
parsed_data = parser.parse(some_rule_data)
arr_of_hashes = parsed_data.process

Requirements

Treetop
