Using eBPF to observe and secure container networking
eBPF programs can be attached to the Linux kernel to observe and filter a container's network traffic at a low level without requiring a sidecar.
#5about 2 minutes
Securing hardware update channels with eBPF policies
eBPF can trace and block unauthorized write operations to hardware interfaces like the SPI bus, preventing malicious firmware flashing from a compromised container.
#6about 2 minutes
Understanding the offensive potential of eBPF rootkits
