Hi,
In order to make IBAN checksum checker I need to make modulo 97
operation on a very high value that cannot be stored in int or count
type. Is there any way I could make this possible? there is no 'long'
type in bro?
This is exactly what I'm tring to accomplish:

The maximum integer storage in Bro is the unsigned 64-bit “count” type. The numbers in the example seem to overflow that, so maybe an approach to try is to find/port an arbitrary precision modulus algorithm (e.g. one that operates on a string of digits and thus avoids overflowing fixed size storage). It may be easier to add such a thing as a Built-In Function (using C/C++) rather than entirely in the Bro scripting language.

That’s probably the right approach. That said, I’m playing around now with writing an arbitrary precision library with at least enough functionality to validate IBAN numbers completely as a Bro script.
