=head1 METHODS
These are the object methods that can be used to read or modify any part of a Snort rule. B<Please note: None of these methods provide any sort of input validation to make sure that the rule makes sense, or can be parsed at all by Snort.>
If input validation is required, check out the L<Parse::Snort::Strict> module.
=head2 new ()
Create a new C<Parse::Snort> object, and return it. There are a couple of options when creating the object:
=over 4
=item new ( )
Create an unpopulated object, that can be filled in using the individual rule element methods, or can be populated with the L<< parse|Parse::Snort/"PARSE" >> method.
=item new ( $rule_string )
Create an object based on a plain text Snort rule, all on one line. This module doesn't understand the UNIX style line continuations (a backslash at the end of the line) that Snort does.
$rule_string = 'alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"perl 6 download detected\; may the world rejoice!";depth:150; offset:0; content:"perl-6.0.0"; nocase;)'
=item new ( $rule_element_hashref )
Create an object baesd on a prepared hash reference similar to the internal strucutre of the L<Parse::Snort> object.
$rule_element_hashref = {
action => 'alert',
proto => 'tcp',
src => '$EXTERNAL_NET',
src_port => 'any',
direction => '->',
dst => '$HOME_NET',
dst_port => 'any',
opts => [
['msg' => '"perl 6 download detected\; may the world rejoice!"'],
['depth' => 150],
['offset' => 0],
['content' => 'perl-6.0.0'],
['nocase'],
],
};

sub new {

my $self = {

# were we passed a hashref? (formatted rule in hashref form)

}
=head2 parse( $rule_string )
The parse method is what interprets a plain text rule, and populates the rule object. Beacuse this module does not support the UNIX style line-continuations (backslash at the end of a line) the rule must be all on one line, otherwise the parse will fail in unpredictably interesting and confusing ways. The parse method tries to interpret the rule from left to right, calling the individual accessor methods for each rule element. This will overwrite the contents of the object (if any), so if you want to parse multiple rules at once, you will need multiple objects.

=head2 METHODS FOR ACCESSING RULE ELEMENTS
You can access the core parts of a rule (action, protocol, source IP, etc) with the method of their name. These are read/write L<Class::Accessor> accessors. If you want to read the value, don't pass an argument. If you want to set the value, pass in the new value. In either case it returns the current value, or undef if the value has not been set yet.
=over 4
=item action
The rule action. Generally one of the following: C<alert>, C<pass>, C<drop>, C<sdrop>, or C<log>.
=item proto
The protocol of the rule. Generally one of the following: C<tcp>, C<udp>, C<ip>, or C<icmp>.
=item src
The source IP address for the rule. Generally a dotted decimal IP address, Snort $HOME_NET variable, or CIDR block notation.
=item src_port
The source port for the rule. Generally a static port, or a contigious range of ports.
=item direction
The direction of the rule. One of the following: C<< -> >> C<< <> >> or C<< <- >>.
=item dst
The destination IP address for the rule. Same format as C<src>
=item dst_port
The destination port for the rule. Same format as C<src>
=item opts ( $opts_array_ref )
=item opts ( $opts_string )
The opts method can be used to read existing options of a parsed rule, or set them. The method takes two forms of arguments, either an Array of Arrays, or a rule string.
=over 4
=item $opts_array_ref
$opts_array_ref = [
[ 'msg' => '"perl 6 download detected\; may the world rejoice!"' ],
[ 'depth' => 150 ],
[ 'offset' => 0 ],
[ 'content' => 'perl-6.0.0' ],
[ 'nocase' ],
]
=item $opts_string
$opts_string='(msg:"perl 6 download detected\; may the world rejoice!";depth:150; offset:0; content:"perl-6.0.0"; nocase;)';
The parenthesis surround the series of C<key:value;> pairs are optional.

=head2 HELPER METHODS FOR VARIOUS OPTIONS
=over 4
=item sid
=item rev
=item msg
=item classtype
=item gid
=item metadata
=item flow
=item priority
The these methods allow direct access to the rule option of the same name
my $sid = $rule_obj->sid(); # reads the sid of the rule
$rule_obj->sid($sid); # sets the sid of the rule
... etc ...
=item references
The C<references> method permits read-only access to the C<reference:> options in the rule. This is in the form of an array of arrays, with each reference in the format
[ 'reference_type' => 'reference_value' ]
To modify references, use the C<opts> method to grab all the rule options, modify it to your needs, and use the C<opts> method to save your changes back to the rule object.
$references = $rule->references(); # just the references
$no_references = grep { $_->[0] ne "reference" } @{ $rule->opts() }; # everything but the references
=cut
sub references {
my ($self) = shift;
return [
map { [split(m/,/, $_->[1], 2)] }
grep { $_->[0] eq "reference" } @{ $self->get('opts') }
];
}
=item as_string
The C<as_string> method returns a string that matches the normal Snort rule form of the object. This is what you want to use to write a rule to an output file that will be read by Snort.
=cut
sub as_string {
my $self = shift;
my $ret;
my @missing;
# we may be incomplete
@missing = grep { $_ } map { exists( $self->{$_} ) ? undef : $_ } @RULE_ELEMENTS_REQUIRED;
# stitch together the required bits
if (!scalar @missing) {
$ret .= sprintf("%s %s %s %s %s %s %s",
@$self{@RULE_ELEMENTS_REQUIRED});
}
# tack on opts if they exist
if (defined $self->get('opts')) {
$ret .= sprintf(
" (%s)",
join(" ",
map { defined($_->[1]) ? "$_->[0]:$_->[1];" : "$_->[0];" }
@{ $self->get('opts') })
);
}
return undef if @missing && !$self->{preprocessed};
return $self->state ? $ret : "# $ret";
}
=pod
=item clone
Returns a clone of the current rule object.
=cut
# poor man's deep cloning. This will have to be maintained if the internal structure ever changes.
sub clone {
my $self = shift;
# initial shallow copy
my $copy = bless { %$self }, ref $self;
# deeper copy, for opts
if ($self->opts()) {
$copy->opts( [ map { [ @$_ ] } @{ $self->opts } ]);
}
return $copy;
}
=pod
=item reset
Resets the internal state (deletes it!) of the current rule object, and returns the rule object itself. Useful for parsing multiple rules, one after another. Just call C<< $rule->reset() >> after you're done with the current rule, and before you C<< $rule->parse() >> or set new values via the accessor methods.
=back
=cut
sub reset {
my $self = shift;
delete $self->{$_} for keys %$self;
