opensnitch/ebpf_prog/README

opensnitch.c is an eBPF program. Compilation requires getting kernel source.

sudo apt install clang llvm libelf-dev libzip-dev flex bison libssl-dev bc rsync python3
cd opensnitch
wget https://github.com/torvalds/linux/archive/v5.8.tar.gz
tar -xf v5.8.tar.gz
patch linux-5.8/tools/lib/bpf/bpf_helpers.h < ebpf_prog/file.patch
cp ebpf_prog/opensnitch*.c ebpf_prog/common.h ebpf_prog/Makefile linux-5.8/samples/bpf
cd linux-5.8 && yes "" | make oldconfig && make prepare && make headers_install # (1 min)
cd samples/bpf && make
objdump -h opensnitch.o #you should see many section, number 1 should be called kprobe/tcp_v4_connect
llvm-strip -g opensnitch.o #remove debug info
sudo cp opensnitch*.o /etc/opensnitchd/ 
cd ../../../daemon

--opensnitchd expects to find opensnitch.o in /etc/opensnitchd/
--start opensnitchd with:

opensnitchd -rules-path /etc/opensnitchd/rules -process-monitor-method ebpf

The kernel where you intend to run it must have some options activated:

$ grep BPF /boot/config-$(uname -r)
CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF=y
CONFIG_BPF=y
CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y
CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS=y
CONFIG_KPROBES=y
CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y

Also, in some distributions debugfs is not mounted automatically, so you need
to do it manually:

$ sudo mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug

In order to make it permanent add it to /etc/fstab:

debugfs    /sys/kernel/debug      debugfs  defaults  0 0
