Some time ago I had the idea of exporting internal initng events to scripts,
but that time I hadn't any reasonable method to do so...
Some days ago, while programming a honeypot at work, I got a very good idea, I
don't really know why, but I imagined how to implement a generic object
serializer.
I don't have any real code, but there's my idea:
struct {
char type;
char *out_fmt;
} serializer_vtypes[] = {
{ VARTYPE_STRING, "%s=%s\n" },
{ VARTYPE_INT, "%s=%d\n" },
};
struct vsd_s {
char *name;
int in_type;
void *offset;
list_h list;
};
Then, we can put a vsd_s inside the thing we want to serialize, and do
something like:
serialized_event = serialize(event, event->vsd);
For now, i don't see a need to export anything complex, so we should be able
to simply use printf, but if we do need something more complex we can replace
out_fmt with a function and add a size element to vsd_s.
What do you think guys?
