Robin Sommer commented on BIT-1143: ----------------------------------- Wedging it in is fine for now. Eventually we might end up doing a larger redesign of the signature engine to improve performance and broaden its use cases. Creating a separate magic engine now doesn't seem to be worth the effort. > Investigate replacing libmagic w/ signatures for file identificaiton > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: BIT-1143 > URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1143 > Project: Bro Issue Tracker > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Bro > Affects Versions: git/master > Reporter: Jon Siwek > Assignee: Jon Siwek > Fix For: 2.3 > > > I think it makes sense to try to make the switch from libmagic to using Bro's > own signature engine for file identification before the next release.
