Hi list, We are proud to announce the second release of Haka - An open source security oriented language which allows to describe network protocols and apply security policies on (live) captured traffic.
Haka is based on Lua and allows to write security rules in order to filter, alter (on the fly), drop, and/or create new packets and inject them. This new version features a new grammar to specify network protocols and their underlying state machine. The resulting specification generates a parser and provides read/write access to the protocol fields. So no more time wasting with tedious an error-prone coding of protocol dissectors. Haka is embedded into a framework which includes multiple packet capture modules to read packet either from a packet trace file (pcap) or from a network interface (pcap, netfilter queue). It also provides logging and alerting modules to report suspicious activities. Haka has a modular framework, so you can extend it with your favorite modules and build a custom intrusion detection engine or a network forensics tool. Haka is available for download at http://haka-security.org where you can also find a full documentation (user guide, reference guide and a developer guide) with a lot of tutorials. We provide also a live ISO image that ships with up to date binaries and a workhsop to dive into Haka. Your contributions are welcome through our github account https://github.com/haka-security/haka.
