What's the use case that's driving you to do so much parsing in Bro
scripts?
I needed it for some specific detection policies that I cannot share here.
But it's not much parsing, just doing some comparing and extraction of
values for logging purposes.
One example that resembles my use case: Parse a specific HTTP header that
is Base64 encoded and decodes to a specific struct. So decode it, extract
the values that i'm interested in, and log some of the decoded information
if it's interesting.
