Description
It would be great if we can add SHA1 and SHA256 checksums...just like we have MD5s
thanks
just for info.
MD5 and SHA-1 are considered obsolete and not recommended by NIST.
Recommended hash functions are
"The SHA-2 family of hash functions (i.e., SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512)"
http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/hash/policy.html
in that respect would be even more beneficial to have some of the SHA2 family hashing availability in Suricata.
Quite a bit of work has already been done https://github.com/inliniac/suricata/pull/1276
I have a more up to date version of this work.
