New securityonion-sguil-client and securityonion-sguil-server packages include Bro Transcript functionality

New versions of our securityonion-sguil-client and securityonion-sguil-server packages are now available that add a new "Bro" option to the Sguil client's right-click context menu.  This option will run the pcap through a Bro script that will mimic the existing tcpflow transcript option but with a couple of very important changes:

  • any gzipped server responses are automatically unzipped
  • transcripts are rendered for not only tcp but also udp traffic


This update resolves the following issue:
Issue 347: New Sguil client transcript option to run through tcpudpflow.bro

Thanks
Thanks to Scott Runnels for his work on the Bro script and changes to the sguil packages!
Thanks to the following for testing the new packages!
