eBPF enables Linux kernel tracing without source modifications by loading custom programs into the kernel. You can use bpftrace for quick one-liner event tracing or write custom programs with libbpf for deep system introspection.
Yes, bpftrace is designed for quick kernel event tracing and can monitor system calls like execve. You can write one-liner commands to count execve calls and print command names and arguments directly.
You can develop high-performance XDP programs for network packet filtering using libbpf with C or Aya with Rust. This facilitates custom kernel-level instrumentation for packet processing and manipulation.
Start with bpftrace for quick kernel event tracing to gain observability. For production-ready custom programs, use libbpf to write C-based eBPF programs that monitor system calls, network traffic, and application performance.
This approach works on Linux systems and utilizes libbpf and bpftrace for loading and debugging eBPF programs. No external dependencies are required, but it targets advanced Linux observability and networking use cases.
eBPF provides deep system introspection and custom kernel-level instrumentation without the complexity and risk of traditional kernel modules. It enables safe, production-ready observability for system calls, network traffic, and performance analysis.
