Tracing Network Events¶

In order to filter network events you may execute:

$ sudo ./dist/tracee-ebpf --output format:json --filter event=X,Y,Z

where X,Y,Z might be one of the events described below. All the network events try to translate the referred protocols (IP, IPv6, TCP, UDP, ICMPv6, DNS) headers into tracee events, so all fields from that network header are available for filtering. Besides the protocol header, there is also some primary arguments, to each event, classifying the event using: src, dest (and src_port, dst_port if the protocol has those arguments).

Network Event Types¶

net_packet_ipv4

--output format:json  --filter comm=nc --filter event=net_packet_ipv4

# three way handshake for a TCP connection.

Attention

The net_packet_dns_request event is an event that is backwards compatible with an existing event called dns_request. The intention to have such event is to allow existing signatures already relying in the dns_request event, to rely in the new net_packet_dns_request. The benefit for the new event is that, differently from the dns_request event, there is no need to set an interface to monitor events when monitoring net_packet_dns_request. It gets DNS events from all existing interfaces and filters applied.

Important

This event might be deprecated or have its argument types changed in future versions.

Network Event Filtering¶

Supported

For now it is NOT possible to filter the events through the header fields, but it IS possible, and recommended, to filter the events through src, dest fields. Not filtering network events might be hard to consume because of the amount of traced events.

How to filter network events

Let's say you're interested in all TCP packets sent to port 80 anywhere, from any process:

--output format:json --filter event=net_packet_tcp --filter net_packet_tcp.args.dst_port=80

you can trace all commands talking to any other peer using TCP to port 80.

OR you're interested in all DNS packets received ONLY from Google DNS server '8.8.8.8'. You could execute the command below:

--output format:json --filter event=net_packet_dns --filter net_packet_dns.args.src=8.8.8.8

and see all processes that are resolving names using that server (only systemd-resolved, since all the other processes are resolving using local systemd-resolved server 127.0.1.1:53):

Network Based Signatures¶

It is possible to create Golang (or Rego) signatures for the network events. If you haven't read about how to create signatures, do it HERE.

Examples

Below is an example of how to create a signature for the net_packet_dns event. This same example is used by Tracee CI/CD tests and can be found at the GitHub repository, together with some other signatures for the network events.

net_packet_dns signature example

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "strings"

    "github.com/aquasecurity/tracee/signatures/helpers"
    "github.com/aquasecurity/tracee/types/detect"
    "github.com/aquasecurity/tracee/types/protocol"
    "github.com/aquasecurity/tracee/types/trace"
)

//
// HOWTO: The way to trigger this test signature is to execute:
//
//        nslookup -type=mx uol.com.br      and then
//        nslookup -type=ns uol.com.br      and then
//        nslookup -type=soa uol.com.br     and then
//        nslookup -type=txt uol.com.br
//
//        This will cause it trigger once and reset it status.
