ADOPTERS.md

@@ -24,6 +24,8 @@ This is a list of production adopters of Falco (in alphabetical order):
 
 * [Coveo](https://www.coveo.com/) - Coveo stitches together content and data, learning from every interaction, to tailor every experience using AI to drive growth, satisfy customers and develop employee proficiency. All Falco events are centralized in our SIEM for analysis. Understanding what is running on production servers, and the context around why things are running is even more tricky now that we have further abstractions with containers and orchestration systems. Falco is giving us a good visibility inside containers and complement other Host and Network Intrusion Detection Systems. In a near future, we expect to deploy serverless functions to take action when Falco identifies patterns worth taking action for.
 
+* [Deckhouse](https://deckhouse.io/) - Deckhouse Platform presents to you the opportunity to create homogeneous Kubernetes clusters anywhere and handles comprehensive, automagical management for them. It supplies all the add-ons you need for auto-scaling, observability, security, and service mesh. Falco is used as a part of the [runtime-audit-engine](https://deckhouse.io/documentation/latest/modules/650-runtime-audit-engine/) module to provide threats detection and enforce security compliance out of the box. By pairing with [shell-operator](https://github.com/flant/shell-operator) Falco can be configured by Kubernetes Custom Resources.
+
 * [Fairwinds](https://fairwinds.com/) - [Fairwinds Insights](https://fairwinds.com/insights), Kubernetes governance software, integrates Falco to offer a single pane of glass view into potential security incidents. Insights adds out-of-the-box integrations and rules filter to reduce alert fatigue and improve security response. The platform adds security prevention, detection, and response capabilities to your existing Kubernetes infrastructure. Security and DevOps teams benefit from a centralized view of container security vulnerability scanning and runtime container security.
 
 * [Frame.io](https://frame.io/) - Frame.io is a cloud-based (SaaS) video review and collaboration platform that enables users to securely upload source media, work-in-progress edits, dailies, and more into private workspaces where they can invite their team and clients to collaborate on projects. Understanding what is running on production servers, and the context around why things are running is even more tricky now that we have further abstractions like Docker and Kubernetes. To get this needed visibility into our system, we rely on Falco. Falco's ability to collect raw system calls such as open, connect, exec, along with their arguments offer key insights on what is happening on the production system and became the foundation of our intrusion detection and alerting system.

+## Publishing Pre-Releases (RCs and tagged development versions)
+
+Core maintainers and/or the release manager can decide to publish pre-releases at any time before the final release
+is live for development and testing purposes.
+
+The prerelease tag must be formatted as `M.m.p-r`where `r` is the prerelease version information (e.g. `0.35.0-rc1`.)
+
+To do so:
+
+- [Draft a new release](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/releases/new)
+- Use `M.m.p-r` both as tag version and release title.
+- Check the "Set as a pre-release" checkbox and make sure "Set as the latest release" is unchecked
+- It is recommended to add a brief description so that other contributors will understand the reason why the prerelease is published
+- Publish the prerelease!
+- The release pipeline will start automatically. Packages will be uploaded to the `-dev` bucket and container images will be tagged with the specified tag.
+
+In order to check the status of the release pipeline click on the [GitHub Actions tab](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/actions?query=event%3Arelease) in the Falco repository and filter by release.

-Catch
------
-
-This module defines a function to help use the Catch test framework.
-
-The :command:`catch_discover_tests` discovers tests by asking the compiled test
-executable to enumerate its tests.  This does not require CMake to be re-run
-when tests change.  However, it may not work in a cross-compiling environment,
-and setting test properties is less convenient.
-
-This command is intended to replace use of :command:`add_test` to register
-tests, and will create a separate CTest test for each Catch test case.  Note
-that this is in some cases less efficient, as common set-up and tear-down logic
-cannot be shared by multiple test cases executing in the same instance.
-However, it provides more fine-grained pass/fail information to CTest, which is
-usually considered as more beneficial.  By default, the CTest test name is the
-same as the Catch name; see also ``TEST_PREFIX`` and ``TEST_SUFFIX``.
-
-.. command:: catch_discover_tests
-
-  Automatically add tests with CTest by querying the compiled test executable
-  for available tests::
-
-    catch_discover_tests(target
-                         [TEST_SPEC arg1...]
-                         [EXTRA_ARGS arg1...]
-                         [WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]
-                         [TEST_PREFIX prefix]
-                         [TEST_SUFFIX suffix]
-                         [PROPERTIES name1 value1...]
-                         [TEST_LIST var]
-    )
-
-  ``catch_discover_tests`` sets up a post-build command on the test executable
-  that generates the list of tests by parsing the output from running the test
-  with the ``--list-test-names-only`` argument.  This ensures that the full
-  list of tests is obtained.  Since test discovery occurs at build time, it is
-  not necessary to re-run CMake when the list of tests changes.
-  However, it requires that :prop_tgt:`CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR` is properly set
-  in order to function in a cross-compiling environment.
-
-  Additionally, setting properties on tests is somewhat less convenient, since
-  the tests are not available at CMake time.  Additional test properties may be
-  assigned to the set of tests as a whole using the ``PROPERTIES`` option.  If
-  more fine-grained test control is needed, custom content may be provided
-  through an external CTest script using the :prop_dir:`TEST_INCLUDE_FILES`
-  directory property.  The set of discovered tests is made accessible to such a
-  script via the ``<target>_TESTS`` variable.
-
-  The options are:
-
-  ``target``
-    Specifies the Catch executable, which must be a known CMake executable
-    target.  CMake will substitute the location of the built executable when
-    running the test.
-
-  ``TEST_SPEC arg1...``
-    Specifies test cases, wildcarded test cases, tags and tag expressions to
-    pass to the Catch executable with the ``--list-test-names-only`` argument.
-
-  ``EXTRA_ARGS arg1...``
-    Any extra arguments to pass on the command line to each test case.
-
-  ``WORKING_DIRECTORY dir``
-    Specifies the directory in which to run the discovered test cases.  If this
-    option is not provided, the current binary directory is used.
-
-  ``TEST_PREFIX prefix``
-    Specifies a ``prefix`` to be prepended to the name of each discovered test
-    case.  This can be useful when the same test executable is being used in
-    multiple calls to ``catch_discover_tests()`` but with different
-    ``TEST_SPEC`` or ``EXTRA_ARGS``.
-
-  ``TEST_SUFFIX suffix``
-    Similar to ``TEST_PREFIX`` except the ``suffix`` is appended to the name of
-    every discovered test case.  Both ``TEST_PREFIX`` and ``TEST_SUFFIX`` may
-    be specified.
-
-  ``PROPERTIES name1 value1...``
-    Specifies additional properties to be set on all tests discovered by this
-    invocation of ``catch_discover_tests``.
-
-  ``TEST_LIST var``
-    Make the list of tests available in the variable ``var``, rather than the
-    default ``<target>_TESTS``.  This can be useful when the same test
-    executable is being used in multiple calls to ``catch_discover_tests()``.
-    Note that this variable is only available in CTest.

+# base_syscalls ! [EXPERIMENTAL] Use with caution, read carefully !
+#
+# --- [Description]
+#
+# This option configures the set of syscalls that Falco traces.
+#
+# --- [Falco's State Engine]
+#
+# Falco requires a set of syscalls to build up state in userspace.
+# For example, when spawning a new process or network connection, multiple syscalls are involved.
+# Furthermore, properties of a process during its lifetime can be modified by
+# syscalls. Falco accounts for this by enabling the collection of additional syscalls than the
+# ones defined in the rules and by managing a smart process cache table in
+# userspace. Processes are purged from this table when a process exits.
+#
+# By default, with
+#   ```
+#   base_syscalls.custom_set = []
+#   base_syscalls.repair = false
+#   ```
+# Falco enables tracing for a syscall set gathered:
+#   (1) from (enabled) Falco rules
+#   (2) from a static, more verbose set defined in `libsinsp::events::sinsp_state_sc_set` in libs/userspace/libsinsp/events/sinsp_events_ppm_sc.cpp
+# This allows Falco to successfully build up it's state engine and life-cycle management.
+#
+# If the default behavior described above does not fit the user's use case for Falco,
+# the `base_syscalls` option allows for finer end-user control of syscalls traced by Falco.
+#
+# --- [ base_syscalls.custom_set ]
+#
+# CAUTION: Misconfiguration of this setting may result in incomplete Falco event
+# logs or Falco being unable to trace events entirely.
+#
+# `base_syscalls.custom_set` allows the user to explicitly define an additional
+# set of syscalls to be traced in addition to the syscalls from each enabled Falco rule.
+#
+# This is useful in lowering CPU utilization and further tailoring Falco to
+# specific environments according to your threat model and budget constraints.
+#
+# --- [ base_syscalls.repair ]
+#
+# `base_syscalls.repair` is an alternative to Falco's default state engine enforcement.
+# When enabled, this option is designed to
+#   (1) ensure that Falco's state engine is correctly and successfully built-up
+#   (2) be the most system resource-friendly by activating the least number of
+#       additional syscalls (outside of those enabled for enabled rules)
+#
+# Setting `base_syscalls.repair` to `true` allows Falco to automatically configure
+# what is described in the [Suggestions] section below.
+#
+# `base_syscalls.repair` can be enabled with an empty custom set, meaning with the following,
+#   ```
+#   base_syscalls.custom_set = []
+#   base_syscalls.repair = true
+#   ```
+# Falco enables tracing for a syscall set gathered:
+#   (1) from (enabled) Falco rules
+#   (2) from minimal set of additional syscalls needed to "repair" the
+#       state engine and properly log event conditions specified in enabled Falco rules
+#
+# --- [Usage]
+#
+# List of system calls names (<syscall-name>), negative ("!<syscall-name>") notation supported.
+#
+# Example:
+# base_syscalls.custom_set: [<syscall-name>, <syscall-name>, "!<syscall-name>"]
+# base_syscalls.repair: <bool>
+#
+# We recommend to only exclude syscalls, e.g. "!mprotect" if you need a fast deployment update
+# (overriding rules), else remove unwanted syscalls from the Falco rules.
+#
+# Passing `-o "log_level=debug" -o "log_stderr=true" --dry-run` to Falco's
+# cmd args will print the final set of syscalls to STDOUT.
+#
+# --- [Suggestions]
+#
+# NOTE: setting `base_syscalls.repair: true` automates the following suggestions for you.
+#
+# These suggestions are subject to change as Falco and its state engine evolve.
+#
+# For execve* events:
+# Some Falco fields for an execve* syscall are retrieved from the associated
+# `clone`, `clone3`, `fork`, `vfork` syscalls when spawning a new process.
+# The `close` syscall is used to purge file descriptors from Falco's internal
+# thread / process cache table and is necessary for rules relating to file
+# descriptors (e.g. open, openat, openat2, socket, connect, accept, accept4 ... and many more)
+#
+# Consider enabling the following syscalls in `base_syscalls.custom_set` for process rules:
+# [clone, clone3, fork, vfork, execve, execveat, close]
+#
+# For networking related events:
+# While you can log `connect` or `accept*` syscalls without the socket syscall,
+# the log will not contain the ip tuples.
+# Additionally, for `listen` and `accept*` syscalls, the `bind` syscall is also necessary.
+#
+# We recommend the following as the minimum set for networking-related rules:
+# [clone, clone3, fork, vfork, execve, execveat, close, socket, bind, getsockopt]
+#
+# Lastly, for tracking the correct `uid`, `gid` or `sid`, `pgid` of a process when the
+# running process opens a file or makes a network connection, consider adding the
+# following to the above recommended syscall sets:
+# ... setresuid, setsid, setuid, setgid, setpgid, setresgid, setsid, capset, chdir, chroot, fchdir ...

-# Falco unit tests
-
-This folder contains the unit-tests suite for Falco.
-The framework we use for unit-tests is [Catch2](https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2), while the one we use for mocking is [FakeIt](https://github.com/eranpeer/FakeIt).
-
-
-## How to write tests
-
-When you want to test a new file or test a non tested file, remember four steps:
-
-- The folder structure here is the same as the one in the `userspace` folder, so `userspace/engine` becomes `tests/engine`.
-- We call test files with this format `test_<original-file-name>.cpp`
-- Update the `CMakeLists.txt` file to include your file in `FALCO_TESTS_SOURCES` and change the `FALCO_TESTED_LIBRARIES` accordingly. You might also need to add dependencies, in that case, look at `target_link_libraries` and `target_include_directories`
-- If you are unsure on how to write tests, refer to our existing tests in this folder and to the [Catch2](https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/tree/master/docs) documentation.
-
-## How to execute tests
-
-The suite can be configured with `cmake` and run with `make`.
-
-
-In the root folder of Falco, after creating the build directory:
-
-```bash
-cd falco
-mkdir build
-cd build
-```
-
-You can prepare the tests with:
-
-```
-cmake ..
-```
-
-Optionally, you can customize the test suite by passing custom arguments like the examples below:
-
-**filter all tests containing the word ctor**
-
-```bash
-cmake -DFALCO_TESTS_ARGUMENTS:STRING="-R ctor" ..
-```
-
-**verbose execution**
-
-```bash
-cmake -DFALCO_TESTS_ARGUMENTS:STRING="-V" ..
-```
-
-
-To see a list of all the custom arguments you may pass, execute `ctest --help` in your terminal.
-
-
-Once you are ready, you can run your configuration with:
-
-```bash
-make tests
-```
