Test infrastructure and sample confs/rules/traces for plugins
automated tests:
New test cases are in falco_tests_plugins.yaml and cover:
- Listing plugins and fields when plugins are loaded.
- Basic cloudtrail + json plugin on a fake cloudtrail json file and a
sample rule that uses both plugins.
- Conflicts between source/extractor plugins
- Incompatible plugin api
- Wrong plugin path
- Checking for warnings when reading rules with unnown sources (e.g. when plugins are not loaded)
Some test-only plugins written in C are in test/plugins and built on
the fly. (They aren't included in packages of course).
The test framework needed some small changes to handle these tests:
- Add a mode to not check detection counts at all (for --list/--list-plugins)
- addl_cmdline_opts to allow specifying --list/--list-plugins
- Using DOTALL when matching stderr/stdout (allows multi-line matches more easily)

With the changes in https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/pull/74,
there isn't any need to warn about the order of operators and the
evt.type field--the set of event types for a filter should be exact
now regardless of the order of operators.
So update tests that were logging those warnings to note that the
warnings won't occur any more.
Also, some tests more accurately *do* note that they have an overly
permissive evttype (e.g. ones related to syscalls, which are uncommon
and are evaluated for all event types) to reflect the new behavior.
Finally, in unit tests create an actual sinsp filter instead of a
gen_event_filter, which is the base class and shouldn't be created
directly.

We want users to continue using rules without having to use exceptions.
Exceptions are an additional feature for more advanced use-cases, having
a warning in there will mean that everyone now adds an empty exception
to avoid the warning.

Handle various positive and negative cases. Should handle every error
and warning path when reading exceptions objects or rule exception
fields, and various positive cases of using exceptions to prevent
alerts.

Add tests that verify that this falco is backwards compatible with the
v4 k8s audit rules file. It includes tests for:
- checking images by repository/image:
ka.req.container.image/ka.req.container.image.repository
- checking privileged status of any container in a pod:
ka.req.container.privileged
- checking host_network: ka.req.container.host_network
The tests were copied from the v5 versions of the tests, when necessary
adding back v4-compatible versions of macros like
allowed_k8s_containers.

Add ~74 new automated tests that verify K8s PSP Support.
For each PSP attribute, add both positive and negative test cases. For
some of the more complicated attributes like runAsUser/Group/etc,
include cases where the uids are specicified both at the container
security context level and pod security context level and then combined
with mayRunAs/mustRunAs, etc.
Also, some existing tests are updated to handle proper use of "in" and
"intersects" in expressions.

New automated tests for testing parsing of multiple-doc rules files:
- invalid_{overwrite,append}_{macro,rule}_multiple_docs are just like
the previous versions, but with the multiple files combined into a
single multi-document file.
- multiple_docs combines the rules file from multiple_rules
The expect the same results and output as the multiple-file versions.

Modify the disabled_rules_using_regex test to
disabled_rules_using_substring with an appropriate substring.
Also add a test where rule names have regex chars and allow rule names
to have regex chars when parsing falco's output in tests. These changes
are future-looking in case we want to add back support for rule
enabling/disabling using regexes.

The main changes are to use falco_rules.yaml when using
k8s_audit_rules.yaml, as it now depends on it, and to modify one of the

* Add ability to print field names only
Add ability to print field names only instead of all information about
fields (description, etc) using -N cmdline option.
This will be used to add some versioning support steps that check for a
changed set of fields.
* Add an engine version that changes w/ filter flds
Add a method falco_engine::engine_version() that returns the current
engine version (e.g. set of supported fields, rules objects, operators,
etc.). It's defined in falco_engine_version.h, starts at 2 and should be
updated whenever a breaking change is made.
The most common reason for an engine change will be an update to the set
of filter fields. To make this easy to diagnose, add a build time check
that compares the sha256 output of "falco --list -N" against a value
that's embedded in falco_engine_version.h. A mismatch fails the build.
* Check engine version when loading rules
A rules file can now have a field "required_engine_version N". If
present, the number is compared to the falco engine version. If the
falco engine version is less, an error is thrown.
* Unit tests for engine versioning
Add a required version: 2 to one trace file to check the positive case
and add a new test that verifies that a too-new rules file won't be loaded.
* Rename falco test docker image
Rename sysdig/falco to falcosecurity/falco in unit tests.
* Don't pin falco_rules.yaml to an engine version
Currently, falco_rules.yaml is compatible with versions <= 0.13.1 other
than the required_engine_version object itself, so keep that line
commented out so users can use this rules file with older falco
versions.
We'll uncomment it with the first incompatible falco engine change.
* Add new json/webserver libs, embedded webserver
Add two new external libraries:
- nlohmann-json is a better json library that has stronger use of c++
features like type deduction, better conversion from stl structures,
etc. We'll use it to hold generic json objects instead of jsoncpp.
- civetweb is an embeddable webserver that will allow us to accept
posted json data.
New files webserver.{cpp,h} start an embedded webserver that listens for
POSTS on a configurable url and passes the json data to the falco
engine.
New falco config items are under webserver:
- enabled: true|false. Whether to start the embedded webserver or not.
- listen_port. Port that webserver listens on
- k8s_audit_endpoint: uri on which to accept POSTed k8s audit events.
(This commit doesn't compile entirely on its own, but we're grouping
these related changes into one commit for clarity).
* Don't use relative paths to find lua code
You can look directly below PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR.
* Reorganize compiler lua code
The lua compiler code is generic enough to work on more than just
sinsp-based rules, so move the parts of the compiler related to event
types and filterchecks out into a standalone lua file
sinsp_rule_utils.lua.
The checks for event types/filterchecks are now done from rule_loader,
and are dependent on a "source" attribute of the rule being
"sinsp". We'll be adding additional types of events next that come from
sources other than system calls.
* Manage separate syscall/k8s audit rulesets
Add the ability to manage separate sets of rules (syscall and
k8s_audit). Stop using the sinsp_evttype_filter object from the sysdig
repo, replacing it with falco_ruleset/falco_sinsp_ruleset from
ruleset.{cpp,h}. It has the same methods to add rules, associate them
with rulesets, and (for syscall) quickly find the relevant rules for a
given syscall/event type.
At the falco engine level, there are new parallel interfaces for both
types of rules (syscall and k8s_audit) to:
- add a rule: add_k8s_audit_filter/add_sinsp_filter
- match an event against rules, possibly returning a result:
process_sinsp_event/process_k8s_audit_event
At the rule loading level, the mechanics of creating filterchecks
objects is handled two factories (sinsp_filter_factory and
json_event_filter_factory), both of which are held by the engine.
* Handle multiple rule types when parsing rules
Modify the steps of parsing a rule's filter expression to handle
multiple types of rules. Notable changes:
- In the rule loader/ast traversal, pass a filter api object down,
which is passed back up in the lua parser api calls like nest(),
bool_op(), rel_expr(), etc.
- The filter api object is either the sinsp factory or k8s audit
factory, depending on the rule type.
- When the rule is complete, the complete filter is passed to the
engine using either add_sinsp_filter()/add_k8s_audit_filter().
* Add multiple output formatting types
Add support for multiple output formatters. Notable changes:
- The falco engine is passed along to falco_formats to gain access to
the engine's factories.
- When creating a formatter, the source of the rule is passed along
with the format string, which controls which kind of output formatter
is created.
Also clean up exception handling a bit so all lua callbacks catch all
exceptions and convert them into lua errors.
* Add support for json, k8s audit filter fields
With some corresponding changes in sysdig, you can now create general
purpose filter fields and events, which can be tied together with
nesting, expressions, and relational operators. The classes here
represent an instance of these fields devoted to generic json objects as
well as k8s audit events. Notable changes:
- json_event: holds a json object, used by all of the below
- json_event_filter_check: Has the ability to extract values out of a
json_event object and has the ability to define macros that associate
a field like "group.field" with a json pointer expression that
extracts a single property's value out of the json object. The basic
field definition also allows creating an index
e.g. group.field[index], where a std::function is responsible for
performing the indexing. This class has virtual void methods so it
must be overridden.
- jevt_filter_check: subclass of json_event_filter_check and defines
the following fields:
- jevt.time/jevt.rawtime: extracts the time from the underlying json object.
- jevt.value[<json pointer>]: general purpose way to extract any
json value out of the underlying object. <json pointer> is a json
pointer expression
- jevt.obj: Return the entire object, stringified.
- k8s_audit_filter_check: implements fields that extract values from
k8s audit events. Most of the implementation is in the form of macros
like ka.user.name, ka.uri, ka.target.name, etc. that just use json
pointers to extact the appropriate value from a k8s audit event. More
advanced fields like ka.uri.param, ka.req.container.image use
indexing to extract individual values out of maps or arrays.
- json_event_filter_factory: used by things like the lua parser api,
output formatter, etc to create the necessary objects and return
them.
- json_event_formatter: given a format string, create the necessary
fields that will be used to create a resolved string when given a
json_event object.
* Add ability to list fields
Similar to sysdig's -l option, add --list (<source>) to list the fields
supported by falco. With no source specified, will print all
fields. Source can be "syscall" for inspector fields e.g. what is
supported by sysdig, or "k8s_audit" to list fields supported only by the
k8s audit support in falco.
* Initial set of k8s audit rules
Add an initial set of k8s audit rules. They're broken into 3 classes of
rules:
- Suspicious activity: this includes things like:
- A disallowed k8s user performing an operation
- A disallowed container being used in a pod.
- A pod created with a privileged pod.
- A pod created with a sensitive mount.
- A pod using host networking
- Creating a NodePort Service
- A configmap containing private credentials
- A request being made by an unauthenticated user.
- Attach/exec to a pod. (We eventually want to also do privileged
pods, but that will require some state management that we don't
currently have).
- Creating a new namespace outside of an allowed set
- Creating a pod in either of the kube-system/kube-public namespaces
- Creating a serviceaccount in either of the kube-system/kube-public
namespaces
- Modifying any role starting with "system:"
- Creating a clusterrolebinding to the cluster-admin role
- Creating a role that wildcards verbs or resources
- Creating a role with writable permissions/pod exec permissions.
- Resource tracking. This includes noting when a deployment, service,
- configmap, cluster role, service account, etc are created or destroyed.
- Audit tracking: This tracks all audit events.
To support these rules, add macros/new indexing functions as needed to
support the required fields and ways to index the results.
* Add ability to read trace files of k8s audit evts
Expand the use of the -e flag to cover both .scap files containing
system calls as well as jsonl files containing k8s audit events:
If a trace file is specified, first try to read it using the
inspector. If that throws an exception, try to read the first line as
json. If both fail, return an error.
Based on the results of the open, the main loop either calls
do_inspect(), looping over system events, or
read_k8s_audit_trace_file(), reading each line as json and passing it to
the engine and outputs.
* Example showing how to enable k8s audit logs.
An example of how to enable k8s audit logging for minikube.
* Add unit tests for k8s audit support
Initial unit test support for k8s audit events. A new multiplex file
falco_k8s_audit_tests.yaml defines the tests. Traces (jsonl files) are
in trace_files/k8s_audit and new rules files are in
test/rules/k8s_audit.
Current test cases include:
- User outside allowed set
- Creating disallowed pod.
- Creating a pod explicitly on the allowed list
- Creating a pod w/ a privileged container (or second container), or a
pod with no privileged container.
- Creating a pod w/ a sensitive mount container (or second container), or a
pod with no sensitive mount.
- Cases for a trace w/o the relevant property + the container being
trusted, and hostnetwork tests.
- Tests that create a Service w/ and w/o a NodePort type.
- Tests for configmaps: tries each disallowed string, ensuring each is
detected, and the other has a configmap with no disallowed string,
ensuring it is not detected.
- The anonymous user creating a namespace.
- Tests for all kactivity rules e.g. those that create/delete
resources as compared to suspicious activity.
- Exec/Attach to Pod
- Creating a namespace outside of an allowed set
- Creating a pod/serviceaccount in kube-system/kube-public namespaces
- Deleting/modifying a system cluster role
- Creating a binding to the cluster-admin role
- Creating a cluster role binding that wildcards verbs or resources
- Creating a cluster role with write/pod exec privileges
* Don't manually install gcc 4.8
gcc 4.8 should already be installed by default on the vm we use for
travis.
* Also add endswith to lua parser
Add endswith as a symbol so it can be parsed in filter expressions.
* Unit test for endswith support
Add a test case for endswith support, based on the filename ending with null.
* Use correct copyright years.
Also include the start year.
* Improve copyright notices.
Use the proper start year instead of just 2018.
Add the right owner Draios dba Sysdig.
Add copyright notices to some files that were missing them.
Replace references to GNU Public License to Apache license in:
- COPYING file
- README
- all source code below falco
- rules files
- rules and code below test directory
- code below falco directory
- entrypoint for docker containers (but not the Dockerfiles)
I didn't generally add copyright notices to all the examples files, as
they aren't core falco. If they did refer to the gpl I changed them to
apache.
* Add ability to skip rules for unknown filters
Add the ability to skip a rule if its condition refers to a filtercheck
that doesn't exist. This allows defining a rules file that contains new
conditions that can still has limited backward compatibility with older
falco versions.
When compiling a filter, return a list of filtercheck names that are
present in the ast (which also includes filterchecks from any
macros). This set of filtercheck names is matched against the set of
filterchecks known to sinsp, expressed as lua patterns, and in the
global table defined_filters. If no match is found, the rule loader
throws an error.
The pattern changes slightly depending on whether the filter has
arguments or not. Two filters (proc.apid/proc.aname) can work with or
without arguments, so both styles of patterns are used.
If the rule has an attribute "skip-if-unknown-filter", the rule will be
skipped instead.
* Unit tests for skipping unknown filter
New unit test for skipping unknown filter. Test cases:
- A rule that refers to an unknown filter results in an error.
- A rule that refers to an unknown filter, but has
"skip-if-unknown-filter: true", can be read, but doesn't match any events.
- A rule that refers to an unknown filter, but has
"skip-if-unknown-filter: false", returns an error.
Also test the case of a filtercheck like evt.arg.xxx working properly
with the embedded patterns as well as proc.aname/apid which work both ways.
* Only check whole rule names when matching counts
Tweak the regex so a rule my_great_rule doesn't pick up event counts for
a rule "great_rule: nnn".
* Add ability to skip evttype warnings for rules
A new attribute warn_evttypes, if present, suppresses printing warnings
related to a rule not matching any event type. Useful if you have a rule
where not including an event type is intentional.
* Add test for preserving rule order
Test the fix for https://github.com/draios/falco/issues/354. A rules
file has a event-specific rule first and a catchall rule second. Without
the changes in https://github.com/draios/sysdig/pull/1103, the first
rule does not match the event.
* Properly support syscalls in filter conditions
Syscalls have their own numbers but they weren't really handled within
falco. This meant that there wasn't a way to handle filters with
evt.type=xxx clauses where xxx was a value that didn't have a
corresponding event entry (like "madvise", for examples), or where a
syscall like open could also be done indirectly via syscall(__NR_open,
...).
First, add a new top-level global syscalls that maps from a string like
"madvise" to all the syscall nums for that id, just as we do for event
names/numbers.
In the compiler, when traversing the AST for evt.type=XXX or evt.type in
(XXX, ...) clauses, also try to match XXX against the global syscalls
table, and return any ids in a standalone table.
Also throw an error if an XXX doesn't match any event name or syscall name.
The syscall numbers are passed as an argument to sinsp_evttype_filter so
it can preindex the filters by syscall number.
This depends on https://github.com/draios/sysdig/pull/1100
* Add unit test for syscall support
This does a madvise, which doesn't have a ppm event type, both directly
and indirectly via syscall(__NR_madvise, ...), as well as an open
directly + indirectly. The corresponding rules file matches on madvise
and open.
The test ensures that both opens and both madvises are detected.
* Add ability to read rules files from directories
When the argument to -r <path> or an entry in falco.yaml's rules_file
list is a directory, read all files in the directory and add them to the
rules file list. The files in the directory are sorted alphabetically
before being added to the list.
The installed falco adds directories /etc/falco/rules.available and
/etc/falco/rules.d and moves /etc/falco/application_rules.yaml to
/etc/falco/rules.available. /etc/falco/rules.d is empty, but the idea is
that admins can symlink to /etc/falco/rules.available for applications
they want to enable.
This will make it easier to add application-specific rulesets that
admins can opt-in to.
* Unit test for reading rules from directory
Copy the rules/trace file from the test multiple_rules to a new test
rules_directory. The rules files are in rules/rules_dir/{000,001}*.yaml,
and the test uses a rules_file argument of rules_dir. Ensure that the
same events are detected.
* Allow appending to skipped rules
If a rule has an append attribute but the original rule was skipped (due
to having lower priority than the configured priority), silently skip
the appending rule instead of returning an error.
* Unit test for appending to skipped rules
Unit test verifies fix for appending to skipped rules. One rules file
defines a rule with priority WARNING, a second rules file appends to
that rules file, and the configured priority is ERROR.
Ensures that falco rules without errors.
Add the ability to append to rules/macros, like we already do with
lists. For rules/macros, if the object has an append: true key, the
condition value is appended to the condition of an existing rule/macro
with the same name.
Like lists, it's an error to specify append: true without there being an
existing rule/macro.
Also add tests that test the same kind of things we did for lists:
- That append: true really does append
- That append: false overwrites the rule/macro
- That it's an error to append with a prior rule/macro existing.
Add new unit tests to check that list substitution is working as
expected, with test cases for the list substitution occurring at the
beginning, middle, and end of a condition.
Also add tests that verify that overrides on list/macro/rule names
always occur in order.
Add automated tests that verify the ability to tag sets of rules,
disable them with -T, and run them with -t, works:
- New test option disable_tags adds -T <tag> arguments to the falco
command line, and run_tags adds -t <tag> arguments to the falco command
line.
- A new trace file open-multiple-files.scap opens 13 different files,
and a new rules file has 13 different rules with all combinations of
the tags a, b, c (both forward and backward), a rule with an empty
list of tags, a rule with no tags field, and a rule with a completely
different tag d.
Using the above, add tests for:
- Both disabling all combations of a, b, c using disable_tags as well as
run all combinations of a, b, c, using run_tags.
- Specifying both disabled (-T/-D) and enabled (-t) rules. Not allowed.
- Specifying a ruleset while having tagged rules enabled, rules based
on a name disabled, and no particular rules enabled or disabled.
Add a test that specifically tests truncated outputs. A rule contains an
output field %fd.cport which has no value for an open event. Ensure that
the rule's output has <NA> for the cport and the remainder of the rule's
output is filled in.
New tests that test every possible override:
- Overriding a rule with one that doesn't match
- Overriding a macro to one that doesn't match
- Overriding a top level list to a binary that doesn't match
- Overriding an embedded list to one that doesn't match
In each case, the override results in no longer matching an open by the
program "cat".
Add the ability to check falco's return code with exit_status and to
generally match stderr with stderr_contains in a test.
Use those to create a test that has an invalid output expression using
%not_a_real_field. It expects falco to exit with 1 and the output to
contain a message about the invalid output.
Add test that cover reading from multiple sets of rule files and
disabling rules. Specific changes:
- Modify falco to allow multiple -r arguments to read from multiple
files.
- In the test multiplex file, add a disabled_rules attribute,
containing a sequence of rules to disable. Result in -D arguments
when running falco.
- In the test multiplex file, 'rules_file' can be a sequence. It
results in multiple -r arguments when running falco.
- In the test multiplex file, 'detect_level' can be a squence of
multiple severity levels. All levels will be checked for in the
output.
- Move all test rules files to a rules subdirectory and all trace files
to a traces subdirectory.
- Add a small trace file for a simple cat of /dev/null. Used by the
new tests.
- Add the following new tests:
- Reading from multiple files, with the first file being
empty. Ensure that the rules from the second file are properly
loaded.
- Reading from multiple files with the last being empty. Ensures
that the empty file doesn't overwrite anything from the first
file.
- Reading from multiple files with varying severity levels for each
rule. Ensures that both files are properly read.
- Disabling rules from a rules file, both with full rule names
and regexes. Will result in not detecting anything.
