[Zeek] [EXT] HTTP/2 analyzer

[Eric Ooi]

Thanks, Murad! I checked ssl.log and do see a good amount of traffic with “h2” listed, so it looks like I’m definitely seeing this on my network.

Only reason I believe that Palo is still sending it as HTTP/2 traffic is because the monitor tab has a “HTTP/2 Connection Session ID” and each line entry that has a non-zero value for that field seems to be missing a corresponding log in Zeek.  Whereas anytime there’s a zero value in that column, presumably denoting HTTP/1.1 traffic, Zeek is able to analyze it successfully.

It’s not a big deal, but I was so excited to have Zeek analyze my decrypted traffic only to find that most of it is HTTP/2.  I suppose I’ll wait for the official analyzer or learn how to write one myself. :P

Thanks,
Eric

Zeek has no issue analyzing the decrypted HTTP/1.1 traffic but I haven't yet seen decrypted HTTP/2 traffic show up which is what the majority of my decrypted traffic seems to be.
