Kernel Proc Connector and
Containers
2
Agenda
• How to get process events?
Such as: fork(), exec(), exit(), setuid(), ptrace()?
From user space in nearly real time?
seamlessly?
• Can we do that inside a docker container?
3 | © 2015, Palo Alto Networks. Confidential and Proprietary.
Options:
• Polling /proc file-system
• Not efficient, wasteful CPU cycles
• Not deterministic
• Inotify? – can’t monitor /proc file-system by design
• strace? – possibility - but for each process in the system?
• Audit framework – Good possibility, but reserved for
auditd
4 | © 2015, Palo Alto Networks. Confidential and Proprietary.
Another Option:
• Use: process-connector kernel primitive
• Provides:
• Flexible socket based API
• Get real, valid kernel data to user-space
• Can be used for:
• Monitoring system activity
• Resource Management
• Security

Process Connector: System Architecture
Connector
• Built on netlink infra, as easy kernel  user-space IPC
• Added netlink protocol – NETLINK_CONNECTOR
• Netlink Connector callback will be called on recv from a netlink
socket
• Driver API
8 | © 2015, Palo Alto Networks. Confidential and Proprietary.
Process Connector
• Initially added by IBM kernel 2.6.14 (CONFIG_PROC_EVENTS)
• Built on the connector driver
• Register mcast callback & connector identifiers
• Send process events via the netlink connector socket Example
9 | © 2015, Palo Alto Networks. Confidential and Proprietary.
Netlink
• Kernel User space IPC (A flexible ioctl replacement)
• Kernel Kernel
• (User space User space)
• Address Users PIDs
• Socket Family AF_NETLINK – Connectionless Service

Kernel Proc Connector and Containers

  • 2. Kernel Proc Connector and Containers 2
  • 3. Agenda • How to get process events? Such as: fork(), exec(), exit(), setuid(), ptrace()? From user space in nearly real time? seamlessly? • Can we do that inside a docker container? 3 | © 2015, Palo Alto Networks. Confidential and Proprietary.
  • 4. Options: • Polling /proc file-system • Not efficient, wasteful CPU cycles • Not deterministic • Inotify? – can’t monitor /proc file-system by design • strace? – possibility - but for each process in the system? • Audit framework – Good possibility, but reserved for auditd 4 | © 2015, Palo Alto Networks. Confidential and Proprietary.
  • 5. Another Option: • Use: process-connector kernel primitive • Provides: • Flexible socket based API • Get real, valid kernel data to user-space • Can be used for: • Monitoring system activity • Resource Management • Security 5 | © 2015, Palo Alto Networks. Confidential and Proprietary.

Editor's Notes

  • #6: As opposed to unix which is based on files,
  • #7: Dallas 1-wire bus is useful to connect slow 1-pin devices such as iButtons and thremal sensors The connector allows communication with userspace: such as events that generated upon each new master or slave device discovery Or userspace commands such as read/write through the bus and also replies to userspace commands Hyper-V for example the host can initiate a guest snapshot through the connector, the connector will respond to the daemon on the host Once the operation is complete The VSS daemon (hv_vss_daemon) implements the hypervvssd service, which allows you to create snapshots and backups of volumes from the host without preventing processes that are running in a guest from writing to or reading from those volumes. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/integration-services
  • #9: For registration and for sending messages via the netlink socket
  • #10: 1534 – copy_process do_fork
  • #11: As opposed to unix which is based on files,
  • #15: Show a connection refused at netlink_sendmsg  netlink_unicast  netlink_getsockbyportid netlink_lookup (and there isn’t a net on which this netlink socket has ever created)
  • #16: Show a connection refused at netlink_sendmsg  netlink_unicast  netlink_getsockbyportid netlink_lookup (and there isn’t a net on which this netlink socket has ever created)
  • #18: Show that when deriving the host net namespace you see the host pids docker run -tid --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --net=host ubuntu
