User Defined Application

This feature allows you to identify unclassified TCP, UDP, HTTP, and HTTPS applications and extract their application name and ID.

Refer to the following topic for more detailed information:

Supported Protocols and Attributes

The DPI engine will match the rules defined based on the following protocols and attributes within the first 500 bytes of a packet payload.

Mindata

The mindata value is the number of payload bytes to buffer and match a given pattern. You can configure mindata value for HTTP content, TCP stream, and UDP stream. The buffer size is calculated from the start of the payload and the default buffer size is different for each protocol (HTTP - 206, TCP - 67, and UDP - 48.)

For example, for pattern ".*TEST.*" that may be present within the first 67 bytes of TCP payload, you can specify the mindata value as 4 (which is the length of the input string) or as 67 (which is the default buffer size of TCP payload). In case, the pattern is present in between 65 to 68 bytes of the payload and the mindata is specified as 4 or 67, it will not match. For this case, you must specify the mindata value as 68.

Supported RegExp Syntax

Pattern Description
. Matches any symbol
* Searches for 0 or more occurrences of the symbol or character set that precedes it
+ Searches for 1 or more occurrences of the symbol or character set that precedes it
? Searches for 0 or 1 occurrence of the symbol or character set that precedes it

( )

[ ]

Groups a series of expressions together

Matches any value included within the bracket at its current position

Example: [Dd]ay matches Day and day

|

[<start>-<end>]

Separates values contained in ( ). Searches for any one of the values that it separates. Example: The following expression matches dog or cat: (dog | cat). Matches any value contained within the defined range (a hyphen indicates the range). You can mix character class and a hexadecimal range

Example: [AaBbCcDdEeFf0-9]
\0 <octal_number> Matches for a direct binary with octal input
\x<hexadecimal-number>\x Matches for a direct binary with hexadecimal input
\[<character-set>\] Matches a character set while ignoring case. WARNING: Not performance friendly
