             Summary: 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.  Don't want people getting used to magic file format for their own custom file identification rules.
