- Calculate the ram usage of a process in the daemon, using the page
size of the system.
- Added new functions to read some details of a process, so we can use
them in other parts of the code.
- When discovering the hierarchy of a process, reuse components of
the tree if they're already on cache, to improve speed and reduce
mem allocs.
- When building the tree of a proces, rebuild the tree if the first
component doesn't have pid 1. Otherwise reuse the tree.
On this test we assumed that there would always be reading stats for our
own process /proc/self, but on restricted environments that might not
alwys be the case. Anyway, a value of 0 is not an error in itself.
Closes#1075
- Fixed several leaks.
- Cache of events reorganized and improved.
* items are added faster.
* proc details are rebuilt if needed (checksums, proc tree, etc)
* proc's tree is reused if we've got the parent in cache.
rel: #413
Sometimes we receive /proc/self/exe as the path of the process (electron
apps).
Since a couple of systemd versions ago, some processes spawned by
systemd are reported as /proc/self/fd/<number>.
In these cases reading the symbolic link /proc/<pid>/exe points to the
file on disk.
- Obtain the process's parent hierarchy.
- Display the hierarchy on the pop-ups and the process dialog.
- [pop-ups] Added a Detailed view with all the metadata of the
process.
- [cache-events] Improved the cache of processes.
- [ruleseditor] Fixed enabling md5 checksum widget.
Related: #413, #406
Now you can create rules to filter processes by checksum. Only md5 is
available at the moment.
There's a global configuration option that you can use to enable or
disable this feature, from the config file or from the Preferences
dialog.
As part of this feature there have been more changes:
- New proc monitor method (PROCESS CONNECTOR) that listens for
exec/exit events from the kernel.
This feature depends on CONFIG_PROC_EVENTS kernel option.
- Only one cache of active processes for ebpf and proc monitor
methods.
More info and details: #413.
- Get cmdline arguments from kernel along with the absolute path to the
binary.
If the cmdline has more than 20 arguments, or one of the arguments is
longer than 256 bytes, get it from ProcFS.
- Improved stopping ebpf monitor method.
Improved process detections by monitoring new processes execution.
It allow us to know the path of a process before a socket is opened.
Closes#617
Other improvements:
- If we fail to retrieve the path of a process, then we'll use the comm
name of the connection/process.
- Better kernel connections detection.
- If debugfs is not loaded, we'll try to mount it, to allow to use
eBPF monitor method.
Future work (help wanted):
- Extract command line arguments from the kernel (sys_execve, or mm
struct).
- Monitor other functions (execveat, clone*, fork, etc).
- Send these events to the server (GUI), and display all the commands
an application has executed.
* Allow to intercept some kernel connections
Some connections are initiated from kernel space, like WireGuard
VPNs (#454), NFS or SMB connections (#502) and ip tunnels (#500).
Note: This feature is complete for x86_64, WIP for aarch64, and not supported for armhf and i386

More information regarding this change: #493
- De/Serialize IPv6 connections.
- Added SocketsDump() to list all sockets currently in the kernel.
- [proc details] Resolve all the sockets an application has opened
and translate them to network data, e.g:
```
ls -l /proc/1234/fd/
0 ... 25 -> socket[12345678]
```
to
```
0 .... 25 -> socket[12345678] - 54321:10.0.2.2 -> github.com:443,
state: established
```
New dialog added to display details of a process in realtime, gathered
from ProcFS.
Process tab -> double click on an app -> click on the button with the
search icon.
We have also improved the discovery of apps icons and names. It should
work better on systems where the DE is not properly configured.
Tested, but not bulletproof, still in beta.
