Introduction to eHIDS

HIDS demo implemented by eBPF kernel technology.

Implementations & Functionalities:

  1. TCP network data capture
  2. UDP network data capture
  3. DNS information capture in uprobe mode
  4. Process data capture
  5. Uprobe way to achieve JAVA RASP command execution scene event capture
  6. Go framework implementation of eBPF, abstract implementation of multi-type events for the kprobe\uprobe mounting method.
  7. Developers only need to implement three files:
    • The kernel-mode C file.
    • The user-mode go file.
    • The user-mode event message structure, and the framework will automatically load and execute.
  8. Users can implement data reporting and processing according to the logger interface, such as reporting to ES\kafka and other log centers.

Principle

Reference : eBPF Official Website

  1. In the kernel mode, eBPF code is written in C, and llvm is compiled into eBPF bytecode.
  2. User mode is written in golang, cilium/ebpf pure go class library, kernel loading of eBPF bytecode, kprobe/uprobe HOOK corresponding function.
  3. User mode uses golang for event reading, decoding, and processing.

Planning

Scheduling

The author is analyzing the runtime security protection products implemented by cloud-native eBPF technologies such as cilium, datadog, tracee, falco, and kubeArmor from the perspective of source code. After the analysis is completed, I will continue to share the design, ideas, and functions of this product.

Current progress & Changes

Prodcut Features

  1. Complete functions (network, process, file, event)
  2. Monitoring
  3. Alert
  4. Fusing
  5. Statistics
  6. Reconciliation
  7. Unified management and control

Instructions

  1. The kernel mode part is the ebpf programming code implemented by the linux native class library, and uses clang (llvm) for bytecode compilation.
  2. The user mode part is written for golang's cilium/ebpf class library, which implements functions such as loading eBPF bytecodes to the kernel, mounting to hook points, and event reading.
  3. This project uses kprobe and uprobe respectively to realize the network event capture of TCP and UDP.

Development Environment

  • UBUNTU 21.04 server

Compiling and running

Compilation

git clone https://github.com/ehids/ehids-agent.git
cd ehids
make
./bin/ehids-agent

Runnig

Open another shell, execute network commands, and trigger network behavior

wget www.cnxct.com

Or compile and run the java command execution example to test the function of java RASP. Uprobe mounts the JDK_execvpe function of libjava.so, and the corresponding offset address offset is 0x19C30. For other versions, please locate the offset address by yourself.

cd examples
javac Main.java
java Main
