Rusticata

Overview

Rusticata is a test crate for network protocol parsers written in Rust.

It was written to show to feasibility of the implementation of safe and efficient parsers in suricata. The real parsing code is now part of suricata (starting from version 4.0), and must be configured using the --enable-rust flag.

This project is now a playground for testing parsers, features and code.

This project is based on:

• nom a Rust parser combinator framework
• Many parsers from the rusticata project
