.. zeek:namespace:: Weird

This script provides a default set of actions to take for "weird activity"
events generated from Zeek's event engine.  Weird activity is defined as
unusual or exceptional activity that can indicate malformed connections,
traffic that doesn't conform to a particular protocol, malfunctioning
or misconfigured hardware, or even an attacker attempting to avoid/confuse
a sensor.  Without context, it's hard to judge whether a particular
category of weird activity is interesting, but this script provides
a starting point for the user.

Types
#####
============================================= =======================================================================
:zeek:type:`Weird::Action`: :zeek:type:`enum` Types of actions that may be taken when handling weird activity events.
:zeek:type:`Weird::Info`: :zeek:type:`record` The record which is used for representing and logging weirds.
============================================= =======================================================================

Redefinitions
#############
============================================ ===================================================
:zeek:type:`Log::ID`: :zeek:type:`enum`      The weird logging stream identifier.

                                               Generic unusual but notice-worthy weird activity.
============================================ ===================================================

Events
######
=============================================== ==============================================================
:zeek:id:`Weird::log_weird`: :zeek:type:`event` Handlers of this event are invoked once per write to the weird
                                                logging stream before the data is actually written.

   To completely ignore a specific weird for a host, add the host
   and weird name into this set.

   Don't ignore repeats for weirds in this set.  For example,
   it's handy keeping track of clustered checksum errors.

State Variables
###############
.. zeek:id:: Weird::did_log
   :source-code: base/frameworks/notice/weird.zeek 288 288

   :Type: :zeek:type:`set` [:zeek:type:`string`, :zeek:type:`string`]
   :Attributes: :zeek:attr:`&create_expire` = ``1.0 day`` :zeek:attr:`&redef`
   :Default: ``{}``

   A state set which tracks unique weirds solely by name to reduce
   duplicate logging.  This is deliberately not synchronized because it
   could cause overload during storms.

.. zeek:id:: Weird::did_notice
   :source-code: base/frameworks/notice/weird.zeek 292 292

   :Type: :zeek:type:`set` [:zeek:type:`string`, :zeek:type:`string`]
   :Attributes: :zeek:attr:`&create_expire` = ``1.0 day`` :zeek:attr:`&redef`
   :Default: ``{}``

   A state set which tracks unique weirds solely by name to reduce
   duplicate notices from being raised.

.. zeek:id:: Weird::weird_ignore
   :source-code: base/frameworks/notice/weird.zeek 283 283

   :Type: :zeek:type:`set` [:zeek:type:`string`, :zeek:type:`string`]
   :Attributes: :zeek:attr:`&create_expire` = ``10.0 mins`` :zeek:attr:`&redef`
   :Default: ``{}``

   This table is used to track identifier and name pairs that should be
   temporarily ignored because the problem has already been reported.
   This helps reduce the volume of high volume weirds by only allowing
   a unique weird every ``create_expire`` interval.

Types
#####

   :source-code: base/frameworks/notice/weird.zeek 70 93

   :Type: :zeek:type:`enum`

      .. zeek:enum:: Weird::ACTION_UNSPECIFIED Weird::Action

         A dummy action indicating the user does not care what
         internal decision is made regarding a given type of weird.

      .. zeek:enum:: Weird::ACTION_IGNORE Weird::Action

         No action is to be taken.

      .. zeek:enum:: Weird::ACTION_LOG Weird::Action

         Log the weird event every time it occurs.

      .. zeek:enum:: Weird::ACTION_LOG_ONCE Weird::Action

         Log the weird event only once.

      .. zeek:enum:: Weird::ACTION_LOG_PER_CONN Weird::Action

         Log the weird event once per connection.
