White Paper: Enhancing eBPF Forensic Tools for Improved Security
The extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) is a groundbreaking technology that enables the execution of sandboxed programs within the Linux kernel. Remarkably, it empowers users to run programs in the kernel without the need for kernel source code modification. In our research white paper we embark on a critical mission: to evaluate the effectiveness of Volatility in detecting attacks that misuse eBPF in memory dumps, and how to elevate Volatility’s capabilities.
Optimizing eBPF Security, Observability and Forensic Tools
Our ultimate goal is to elevate Volatility’s capabilities by introducing new, proprietary plugins designed explicitly to detect eBPF attacks more effectively. This endeavor has given birth to two extended plugins—namely, “psall” and “ebpf.” The “psall” plugin provides an exhaustive breakdown of all processes, while “ebpf” offers an in-depth analysis of all eBPF programs, enhancing Volatility’s suitability for detection.
Enhancing eBPF Forensic Tools and elevate Volatility’s capabilities
Our primary focus for our research whitepaper is to assess Volatility’s performance in three key scenarios: when the attack is in progress, when privileged escalation is complete, and when the attack concludes. We rigorously examine existing Volatility plugins, presenting and analyzing their outputs. Our goal is enhancing Volatility’s capabilities.
- eBPF technology revolutionizes Linux kernel security by allowing sandboxed program execution without kernel source code modification.
- Detecting and mitigating eBPF-based attacks is crucial for safeguarding system security.
- This research assesses Volatility 3’s effectiveness in identifying eBPF attacks in different stages, from inception to completion.
- We conduct a comparative analysis, revealing Red Hat Crash as a powerful alternative for in-depth eBPF attack analysis.
- Our study expands the knowledge base on eBPF security and the capabilities of memory dump analysis tools, contributing to enhanced system defense strategies.
