Implement filament rule action #243
Description
A prominent use case for filaments is alert post-processing. This would allow any filament defining the on_next_alert function to react on alert arrival, either generated by the detection engine or YARA scanner.
If the filament has the definition of the on_next_alert(alert) function, each time an alert is triggered, the filament framework will invoke the former function. The first parameter of this function contains the alert details such as:
- alert title
- alert detailed description
- provenance (
detection,yara, etc.) - tags
- alert metadata
Detection rules will define a new action to specify the filament to execute and an optional args given to the Python VM.
Yara scanner must specify the list of filaments to execute when the rule matches. Additionally, the Yara rule can declare the filament metadata with the name of the filament to execute upon rule firing.
