Description

Comment: I'm not sure where the correct place to start is but would
like to request a feature. Bro and Moloch are adopting a JA3 TLS/SSL
client fingerprinting technique. I'd like to know if we can get Suricata
to build the capability also. Will make for a great method to share a
new IOC. It's a bit early but seems to be working well.

Here's the public information from Salesforce's Github repo.

JA3 - A new way to profile SSL Clients

JA3 is a new technique for creating SSL client fingerprints that are
easy to produce and can be easily shared for threat intelligence.

JA3 looks cool. It would probably not be that much job to add it. I'll be willing to implement it. I'm thinking:

Read a list of fingerprints from a file when starting Suricata.
Generate the fingerprint when decoding the TLS client hello packet.
Add a detection keyword for it ("tls_ja3", or something).
Add it both to the metadata logging in alerts and to the JSON TLS log ("ja3": {"fingerprint":"<fingerprint>", "application":"<application>"}).
Expose it to Lua scripts.

What do you think, Victor?

Sounds like a great plan! Would accept it gladly :)

Mats, that would be awesome! Looking forward to seeing it implemented.
