Feature #3332

Updated by Jason Ish over 4 years ago

Look into supporting dynamically loadable modules in Suricata (aka plugins). Plugins we may want to support could be: 
 - inputs (example: pf_ring) 
 - outputs (example: kafka output) 
 - detection keywords 
 - app-layer protocols 

 Ideally plugins will be written in Rust, but I believe for Rust to load a dynamic module it has to follow a C interface, so in plugins could likely be written in C, Rust, C++, etc. 

 Also look into the possibility of unwinding panic's provided the plugin was written in Rust (see: https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/3333)
