D4 encapsulation protocol version 1

Overview of the D4 encapsulation protocol

Headers

Name bit size Description
version uint 8 Version of the header
type uint 8 Data encapsulated type
uuid uint 128 Sensor UUID
timestamp uint 64 Encapsulation time
hmac uint 256 Authentication header (HMAC-SHA-256-128)
size uint 32 Payload size

Types

The type is the list of format encapsulated within the D4 protocol.

Type Description
0 Reserved
1 pcap (libpcap 2.4)
2 meta header (JSON)
3 generic log line
4 dnscap output
5 pcapng (diagnostic)
6 generic NDJSON or JSON Lines
7 generic YAF (Yet Another Flowmeter)
8 passivedns CSV stream
254 type defined by meta header (type 2)

The D4 type list is available in JSON format.

Meta types (via meta header)

Sample meta type JSON (type 2). If a new session is open, before sending D4 packet type 254, a type 2 packet MUST be sent to describe to the D4 server how to decode packets. A meta header payload contains a single JSON object which describes the next packet to be decoded as type 254 in the stream. The JSON object MUST at least contain a type field.
