Used by the operator @ipMatch and variants, this structure storage all the IPs
addresses for later comparison. Last version was using RadixTree only if the
set of IPs was specified from files. IPs specified as parameters, was using
a chained list. Chained lists may affect the performance, since lookups in
worst case will be O(n). RadixTrees could provide better results depending
on the amount of elements and its contents.
The operators @ipMatch, @ipMatchF and @ipMatchFromFile were
added to the functions: SecReadStateLimit and SecReadStateLimit,
by using them it is possible to declare a suspicious list. When
a suspicious list is given, the {Read|Write}StateLimit will be
applied just to the IPs that belongs to that restricted list.
Note that the negative of those operators (e.g. !@ipMatch) can be
used to place a whitelist. The {Read|Write}StateLimit
restrictions will not be applied to those in the whitelist.
This current version the Sec{Read|Write}StateLimit can be used
varios times to add elements to both lists, however, the
last informed limit will be applied for the entire group. This
feature is experimental, and suggestions on how to improve it
are very welcome. For further discussion use the issue: #353.
Testing inet_pton with the help of Steffen. Acording to Steffen we can use
!(NTDDI_VERSION >= NTDDI_VISTA) to identify that the specific Windows version
has this function defined or not, if so we can use the Windows version.
Reverting this commit to avoid to overwrite the Windows' function. And
see the original error that happened before this commit.
There is a function named inet_pton on windows API, with different
signature. This patch just override the windows function and point
the inet_pton to our implementation.
