 * [Shapesecurity/F5] (https://www.shapesecurity.com/) Shapesecurity defends against application fraud attacks like Account Take Over, Credential Stuffing, Fake Accounts, etc. Required by FedRamp certification, we needed to find a FIM solution to help monitor and protect our Kubernetes clusters. Traditional FIM solutions were not scalable and not working for our environment, but with Falco we found the solution we needed. Falco's detection capabilities have helped us identify anomalous behaviour within our clusters. We leverage Sidekick (https://github.com/falcosecurity/charts/tree/master/falcosidekick) to send Falco alerts to a PubSub which in turn publishes those alerts to our SIEM (SumoLogic)

 * [Sysdig](https://www.sysdig.com/) Sysdig originally created Falco in 2016 to detect unexpected or suspicious activity using a rules engine on top of the data that comes from the sysdig kernel system call probe. Sysdig provides tooling to help with vulnerability management, compliance, detection, incident response and forensics in Cloud-native environments. Sysdig Secure has extended Falco to include: a rule library, the ability to update macros, lists & rules via the user interface and API, automated tuning of rules, and rule creation based on profiling known system behavior. On top of the basic Falco rules, Sysdig Secure implements the concept of a "Security policy" that can comprise several rules which are evaluated for a user-defined infrastructure scope like Kubernetes namespaces, OpenShift clusters, deployment workload, cloud regions etc.

-    # Why we mirror jq here?
-    #
-    # In their readme, jq claims that you don't have
-    # to do autoreconf -fi when downloading a released tarball.
-    #
-    # However, they forgot to push the released makefiles
-    # into their release tarbal.
-    #
-    # For this reason, we have to mirror their release after
-    # doing the configuration ourselves.
-    #
-    # This is needed because many distros do not ship the right
-    # version of autoreconf, making virtually impossible to build Falco on them.

 This change is win-win for both parties because of the following reasons:

Having the majority of the source code under an **open governance** in the same organization gives the Falco project more contribution opportunities, helps it in **evolving independently** and makes the whole Falco community a strong owner of the processes and decision making regarding those crucial parts.

Leonardo Di Donato	c1da6d21b9	new: syscall_event_timeouts configuration block Falco uses a shared buffer between the kernel and userspace to receive the events (eg., system call information) in userspace. Anyways, the underlying libraries can also timeout for various reasons. For example, there could have been issues while reading an event. Or the particular event needs to be skipped. Normally, it's very unlikely that Falco does not receive events consecutively. Falco is able to detect such uncommon situation. Here you can configure the maximum number of consecutive timeouts without an event after which you want Falco to alert. By default this value is set to 1000 consecutive timeouts without an event at all. Signed-off-by: Leonardo Di Donato <leodidonato@gmail.com>	2021-04-19 16:56:53 +02:00

Leonardo Di Donato	65a168ab5a	new(userspace/falco): output msg when the number of consecutive timeouts without an event is greater than a given threshold The rationale is that in case Falco obtains a consistent number of consecutive timeouts (in a row) without a valid event, something is going wrong. This because, normally, the libs send timeouts to Falco (also) to signal events to discard. In such cases, which are the majority of cases, `ev` exists and is not `null`.

Lorenzo Fontana	46425b392c	fix(userspace): handle exceptions for process_k8s_audit_event This fix has two major points in it: - when `std::stoll` is used in parse_as_int64 handle all the exceptions it can throw (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/stol) - when `process_k8s_audit_event` an eventual exception in it does not stop the webserver process. This is done by doing a catch all handle outside it and by logging an error message to the caller as well as in stderr Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Fontana <lo@linux.com>	2021-04-19 12:32:22 +02:00

We already have a --support option that prints info about the system, config, rules files, etc. Add a engine_info object, with an engine_version property containing the falco engine version in falco_engine_version.h.
