Wishlist: Community ID indexed flow extraction #210

Open satta opened 5 years ago

satta commented 5 years ago

IDS developers have recently started to introduce a cross-vendor, symmetric, reproducible algorithm to derive flow identifiers, called Community ID (see https://github.com/corelight/community-id-spec). This is being adopted at least by Suricata and Zeek/Bro, for now. It would be useful to have packets stored by stenographer indexed by their community IDs so whole flows can be efficiently extracted at query time for a given ID. This would allow for better interoperability between the detection side (IDS) and the storage side (stenographer).
