β‘ Key issues to review Possible Race Condition The `ProcessRequest` function is modifying shared state (`s.reqsQueue`) without proper synchronization. This could lead to race conditions in a concurrent environment. Potential Memory Leak The `MonitorQueue` function runs in an infinite loop without a clear termination condition. This could potentially lead to a goroutine leak if not properly managed. Error Handling The `GetEventsForDownload` function ignores the error returned by `v.dbClient.GetRequestByID`. This could lead to silent failures and unexpected behavior. |

Maintainability |
Verify the correctness and consistency of the import path change across the project___ **Theimportpath has been changed from "loophid/cmd/backend" to "lophiid/cmd/backend". Ensure that this change is intentional and consistent across the entire project. If it's a typo, correct it to maintain consistency.** [cmd/backend/BUILD.bazel [6]](https://github.com/mrheinen/lophiid/pull/21/files#diff-af999aed3fb706d3f0eed35e1896ed092c8b96ea71ff85a20198533f71edb397R6-R6) ```diff -importpath = "lophiid/cmd/backend", +importpath = "loophid/cmd/backend", ``` - [ ] **Apply this suggestion** Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9Why: This suggestion identifies a critical change that affects multiple files and could cause significant issues if inconsistent or incorrect. | 9 |

Type safety |
Use a typed enum for the RequestPurpose field instead of a string___ **Consider using a constant or enum for theRequestPurpose field instead of a string. This can help prevent typos and ensure only valid values are used.** [pkg/database/database.go [100]](https://github.com/mrheinen/lophiid/pull/21/files#diff-1adb887d06a44193c36fc1c5708be385f3129cd59c2f2aa555faa065941ed877R100-R100) ```diff -RequestPurpose string `ksql:"request_purpose" json:"request_purpose" doc:"The purpose of the request (e.g. UNKNOWN, RECON, CRAWL, ATTACK)"` +RequestPurpose RequestPurpose `ksql:"request_purpose" json:"request_purpose" doc:"The purpose of the request"` ``` - [ ] **Apply this suggestion** Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8Why: Using a typed enum instead of a string for RequestPurpose improves type safety and prevents potential errors from invalid string values. | 8 |
Possible issue |
Verify the correct placement of the semver dependency in the Bazel build file___ **The dependency forsemver has been moved from the go_test rule to the go_library rule. Ensure that the semver package is actually used in the library code and not just in tests.

Enhancement |
Refactor multiple if conditions into a switch statement for better readability and maintainability___ **Consider using a switch statement instead of multiple if conditions for differentevent types. This will make the code more readable and easier to maintain, especially if more event types are added in the future.** [pkg/vt/manager.go [768-792]](https://github.com/mrheinen/lophiid/pull/21/files#diff-a001ead65cd25a420c17947b16e7deaef08374a08839adf0a5d5edcec50bf5e4R768-R792) ```diff if rule.RequestPurpose != database.RuleRequestPurposeUnknown { + var eventType analysis.IpEventType + var eventDetails string switch rule.RequestPurpose { case database.RuleRequestPurposeAttack: - s.ipEventManager.AddEvent(&database.IpEvent{ - IP: req.SourceIP, - Type: analysis.IpEventAttacked, - Details: fmt.Sprintf("rule %d indicated the IP attacked", rule.ID), - RequestID: dm.ModelID(), - }) + eventType = analysis.IpEventAttacked + eventDetails = "attacked" case database.RuleRequestPurposeCrawl: - s.ipEventManager.AddEvent(&database.IpEvent{ - IP: req.SourceIP, - Type: analysis.IpEventCrawl, - Details: fmt.Sprintf("rule %d indicated the IP crawled", rule.ID), - RequestID: dm.ModelID(), - }) + eventType = analysis.IpEventCrawl + eventDetails = "crawled" case database.RuleRequestPurposeRecon: - s.ipEventManager.AddEvent(&database.IpEvent{ - IP: req.SourceIP, - Type: analysis.IpEventRecon, - Details: fmt.Sprintf("rule %d indicated the IP reconned", rule.ID), - RequestID: dm.ModelID(), - }) + eventType = analysis.IpEventRecon + eventDetails = "reconned" } + s.ipEventManager.AddEvent(&database.IpEvent{ + IP: req.SourceIP, + Type: eventType, + Details: fmt.Sprintf("rule %d indicated the IP %s", rule.ID, eventDetails), + RequestID: dm.ModelID(), + }) } ``` - [ ] **Apply this suggestion** Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7Why: This suggestion enhances code readability and maintainability, making it easier to add new event types in the future. | 7 |
Encapsulate related parameters into a struct for improved function signature___ **Consider using a struct to encapsulate the request and rule information instead ofpassing them as separate parameters. This will make the function signature cleaner and more maintainable.** [pkg/backend/backend.go [759]](https://github.com/mrheinen/lophiid/pull/21/files#diff-c65bcfe9bb457434c3e69ba3f0576d7669935f350d24e2c2c58b05b4f9c510b2R759-R759) ```diff -func (s *BackendServer) ProcessRequest(req *database.Request, rule database.ContentRule) error { +type RequestWithRule struct { + Request *database.Request + Rule database.ContentRule +} +func (s *BackendServer) ProcessRequest(reqWithRule RequestWithRule) error { + ``` - [ ] **Apply this suggestion** Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6Why: The suggestion improves code readability and maintainability by grouping related parameters, but it's not addressing a critical issue. | 6 | |

Error handling |
β Add error handling for the cache entry replacement operation___ **Add error handling for theReplace operation in the ProcessNewEvent function. If an error occurs during replacement, it should be logged or handled appropriately.** [pkg/analysis/ip.go [120-121]](https://github.com/mrheinen/lophiid/pull/21/files#diff-24480f2fb374402d21f92840858fefced2bab4fd547efd664c76acbce047103bR120-R121) ```diff -i.ipCache.Replace(cacheKey, *entry) +if err := i.ipCache.Replace(cacheKey, *entry); err != nil { + return fmt.Errorf("failed to replace cache entry: %w", err) +} return nil ``` `[Suggestion has been applied]` Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7Why: Adding error handling for the cache replacement operation is a good practice to catch and handle potential errors, improving the robustness of the code. | 7 |
Security |
Reduce the cache expiration time for VirusTotal results to ensure more up-to-date security information___ **Consider using a shorter cache expiration time for VirusTotal results. 96 hours (4days) might be too long, potentially leading to outdated security information. A shorter duration, such as 24 hours, could provide a better balance between quota conservation and up-to-date results.** [config/backend-config.yaml [56]](https://github.com/mrheinen/lophiid/pull/21/files#diff-422f5c2c60abdac2feda6fca8b0816bb571e902de5d73a2c5c9c430406dff9c5R56-R56) ```diff -cache_expiration_time: 96h +cache_expiration_time: 24h ``` - [ ] **Apply this suggestion** Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7Why: The suggestion is valid and addresses a potential security concern. However, the optimal cache time depends on specific use cases and quota limitations. | 7 |
Performance |
Ensure the event queue channel is properly sized to prevent blocking___ **Consider using a buffered channel foreventQueue to prevent potential blocking when adding events.** [pkg/analysis/ip.go [66]](https://github.com/mrheinen/lophiid/pull/21/files#diff-24480f2fb374402d21f92840858fefced2bab4fd547efd664c76acbce047103bR66-R66) ```diff eventQueue: make(chan *database.IpEvent, ipQueueSize), +// Consider increasing the buffer size if needed ``` - [ ] **Apply this suggestion** Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5Why: The suggestion is correct but the existing code already uses a buffered channel with a configurable size, so the improvement is minimal. | 5 |

PR Description updated to latest commit (https://github.com/mrheinen/lophiid/commit/2d6845a94422f2f646682f1e699e9731d4819703)
User description
This change adds an IP event table to the database. It also updates the backend to write events to the database in case when we know an IP is malicious because it send a payload that was marked malicious by VirusTotal. The content rules are expanded and now allow an Request Purpose to be specified (e.g ATTACK, CRAWL, ..) and this, depending on the purpose also causes an entry to be added to the IP event table.
The IP event table can then be used to query information about IPs and their roles throughout time.
