Rules changes (WIP)

Got as far as the two big rules (write below etc/write below
root). Still need to do the rest, and also k8s_audit.

@@ -8,8 +8,13 @@ This is a list of production adopters of Falco (in alphabetical order):
 
 * [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.
 
+* [GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/direction/defend/container_host_security/) - GitLab is a complete DevOps platform, delivered as a single application, fundamentally changing the way Development, Security, and Ops teams collaborate. GitLab Ultimate provides the single tool teams need to find, triage, and fix vulnerabilities in applications, services, and cloud-native environments enabling them to manage their risk. This provides them with repeatable, defensible processes that automate security and compliance policies. GitLab includes a tight integration with Falco, allowing users to defend their containerized applications from attacks while running in production.
+
 * [League](https://league.com/ca/) - League provides health benefits management services to help employees understand and get the most from their benefits, and employers to provide effective, efficient plans. Falco is used to monitor our deployed services on Kubernetes, protecting against malicious access to containerswhich could lead to leaks of PHI or other sensitive data. The Falco alerts are logged in Stackdriver for grouping and further analysis. In the future, we're hoping for integrations with Prometheus and AlertManager as well.
 
+* [Logz.io](https://logz.io/) - Logz.io is a cloud observability platform for modern engineering teams. The Logz.io platform consists of three products — Log Management, Infrastructure Monitoring, and Cloud SIEM — that work together to unify the jobs of monitoring, troubleshooting, and security. We empower engineers to deliver better software by offering the world's most popular open source observability tools — the ELK Stack, Grafana, and Jaeger — in a single, easy to use, and powerful platform purpose-built for monitoring distributed cloud environments. Cloud SIEM supports data from multiple sources, including Falco's alerts, and offers useful rules and dashboards content to visualize and manage incidents across your systems in a unified UI.
+  * https://logz.io/blog/k8s-security-with-falco-and-cloud-siem/
+
 * [Preferral](https://www.preferral.com) - Preferral is a HIPAA-compliant platform for Referral Management and Online Referral Forms. Preferral streamlines the referral process for patients, specialists and their referral partners. By automating the referral process, referring practices spend less time on the phone, manual efforts are eliminated, and patients get the right care from the right specialist. Preferral leverages Falco to provide a Host Intrusion Detection System to meet their HIPPA compliance requirements.

-## Code of Conduct
-
-Falco has a
-[Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)
-to which all contributors must adhere, please read it before interacting with the repository or the community in any way.
-
-## Issues
-
-Issues are the heartbeat ❤️ of the Falco project, there are mainly three kinds of issues you can open:
-
-- Bug report: you believe you found a problem in Falco and you want to discuss and get it fixed,
-creating an issue with the **bug report template** is the best way to do so.
-- Enhancement: any kind of new feature need to be discussed in this kind of issue, do you want a new rule or a new feature? This is the kind of issue you want to open. Be very good at explaining your intent, it's always important that others can understand what you mean in order to discuss, be open and collaborative in letting others help you getting this done!
-- Failing tests: you noticed a flaky test or a problem with a build? This is the kind of issue to triage that!
-
-The best way to get **involved** in the project is through issues, you can help in many ways:
-
-- Issues triaging: participating in the discussion and adding details to open issues is always a good thing,
-sometimes issues need to be verified, you could be the one writing a test case to fix a bug!
-- Helping to resolve the issue: you can help in getting it fixed in many ways, more often by opening a pull request.
-
-### Triage issues
-
-We need help in categorizing issues. Thus any help is welcome!
-
-When you triage an issue, you:
-
-* assess whether it has merit or not
-
-* quickly close it by correctly answering a question
-
-* point the reporter to a resource or documentation answering the issue
-
-* tag it via labels, projects, or milestones
-
-* take ownership submitting a PR for it, in case you want 😇
-
-#### More about labels
-
-These guidelines are not set in stone and are subject to change.
-
-Anyway a `kind/*` label for any issue is mandatory.
-
-This is the current [label set](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/labels) we have.
-
-You can use commands - eg., `/label <some-label>` to add (or remove) labels or manually do it.
-
-The commands available are the following ones:
-
-```
-/[remove-](area|kind|priority|triage|label)
-```
-
-Some examples:
-
-* `/area rules`
-* `/remove-area rules`
-* `/kind kernel-module`
-* `/label good-first-issue`
-* `/triage duplicate`
-* `/triage unresolved`
-* `/triage not-reproducible`
-* `/triage support`
-* ...
-
-### Slack
-
-Other discussion, and **support requests** should go through the `#falco` channel in the Kubernetes slack, please join [here](https://slack.k8s.io/).
-
-## Pull Requests
-
-Thanks for taking time to make a [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests) (hereafter PR).
-
-In the PR body, feel free to add an area label if appropriate by typing `/area <AREA>`, PRs will also
-need a kind, make sure to specify the appropriate one by typing `/kind <KIND>`.
-
-The list of labels is [here](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/labels).
-
-Also feel free to suggest a reviewer with `/cc @theirname`, or to assign an assignee using `/assign @nickname`.
-
-Once your reviewer is happy, they will say `/lgtm` which will apply the
-`lgtm` label, and will apply the `approved` label if they are an
-[owner](/OWNERS).
-
-Your PR will be automatically merged once it has the `lgtm` and `approved`
-labels, does not have any `do-not-merge/*` labels, and all status checks (eg., rebase, tests, DCO) are positive.
-
-### Commit convention
-
-As commit convention, we adopt [Conventional Commits v1.0.0](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/), we have an history
-of commits that do not adopt the convention but any new commit must follow it to be eligible for merge.
-
-#### Rule type
-
-Besides the classic types, we adopt a type for rules, `rule(<scope>):`.
-Example:
-
-```
-rule(Write below monitored dir): make sure monitored dirs are monitored.
-```
-
-Each rule change must be on its own commit, if a change to a macro is done while changing a rule they can go together but only one rule per commit must happen.
-
-If you are changing only a macro, the commit will look like this:
-
-```
-rule(macro user_known_write_monitored_dir_conditions): make sure conditions are great
-```
-
-## Coding Guidelines
-
-### C++
-
-* File `userspace/engine/banned.h` defines some functions as invalid tokens. These functions are not allowed to be used in the codebase. Whenever creating a new cpp file, include the `"banned.h"` headers. This ensures that the banned functions are not compiled.
-
-  A complete list of banned functions can be found [here](./userspace/engine/banned.h).
-
-## Developer Certificate Of Origin
-
-The [Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)](https://developercertificate.org/) is a lightweight way for contributors to certify that they wrote or otherwise have the right to submit the code they are contributing to the project.
-
-Contributors to the Falco project sign-off that they adhere to these requirements by adding a `Signed-off-by` line to commit messages.
-
-```
-This is my commit message
-
-Signed-off-by: John Poiana <jpoiana@falco.org>
-```
-
-Git even has a `-s` command line option to append this automatically to your commit message:
-
-```
-$ git commit -s -m 'This is my commit message'
-```

-Falco is a behavioral activity monitor designed to detect anomalous activity in your applications. Falco audits a system at the most fundamental level, the kernel. Falco then enriches this data with other input streams such as container runtime metrics, and Kubernetes metrics. Falco lets you continuously monitor and detect container, application, host, and network activity—all in one place—from one source of data, with one set of rules.
+The Falco Project, originally created by [Sysdig](https://sysdig.com), is an incubating [CNCF](https://cncf.io) open source cloud native runtime security tool.
+Falco makes it easy to consume kernel events, and enrich those events with information from Kubernetes and the rest of the cloud native stack.
+Falco has a rich rule set of security rules specifically built for Kubernetes, Linux, and cloud-native.
+If a rule is violated in a system, Falco will send an alert notifying the user of the violation and its severity.
 
-Falco is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as a sandbox level project. If you are an organization that wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF. For details read the [Falco CNCF project proposal](https://github.com/cncf/toc/tree/master/proposals/falco.adoc).
+### Installing Falco
 
-#### What kind of behaviors can Falco detect?
+If you would like to run Falco in **production** please adhere to the [official installation guide](https://falco.org/docs/installation/).
 
-Falco can detect and alert on any behavior that involves making Linux system calls. Falco alerts can be triggered by the use of specific system calls, their arguments, and by properties of the calling process. For example, Falco can easily detect incidents including but not limited to:
+##### Kubernetes
 
-- A shell is running inside a container.

+| Kind     | [Tutorial](https://falco.org/docs/third-party/#kind)                                       | Running Falco with kind requires a driver on the host system.      |

+
+### Developing
+
+Falco is designed to be extensible such that it can be built into cloud-native applications and infrastructure.
+
+Falco has a [gRPC](https://falco.org/docs/grpc/) endpoint and an API defined in [protobuf](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/blob/update-readme/userspace/falco/outputs.proto).
+The Falco Project supports various SDKs for this endpoint.
+

+### What can Falco detect?
+
+Falco can detect and alert on any behavior that involves making Linux system calls.
+Falco alerts can be triggered by the use of specific system calls, their arguments, and by properties of the calling process.
+For example, Falco can easily detect incidents including but not limited to:
+
+- A shell is running inside a container or pod in Kubernetes.
 - A container is running in privileged mode, or is mounting a sensitive path, such as `/proc`, from the host.
 - A server process is spawning a child process of an unexpected type.
 - Unexpected read of a sensitive file, such as `/etc/shadow`.
 - A non-device file is written to `/dev`.
 - A standard system binary, such as `ls`, is making an outbound network connection.
 
+### Documentation
 
-### Installing Falco
+The [Official Documentation](https://falco.org/docs/) is the best resource to learn about Falco.
 
-You can find the latest release downloads on the official [release archive](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity)
-
-Furthermore the comprehensive [installation guide](https://falco.org/docs/installation/) for Falco is available in the documentation website.
-
-#### How do you compare Falco with other security tools?
-
-One of the questions we often get when we talk about Falco is “How does Falco differ from other Linux security tools such as SELinux, AppArmor, Auditd, etc.?”. We wrote a [blog post](https://sysdig.com/blog/selinux-seccomp-falco-technical-discussion/) comparing Falco with other tools.

 ## Pre-Release Checklist
 
+Before cutting a release we need to do some homework in the Falco repository. This should take 5 minutes using the GitHub UI.
+
 ### 1. Release notes
-- Let `YYYY-MM-DD` the day before of the [latest release](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/releases)
+- Find the LAST release (-1) and use `YYYY-MM-DD` as the day before of the [latest release](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/releases)
 - Check the release note block of every PR matching the `is:pr is:merged closed:>YYYY-MM-DD` [filter](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+closed%3A%3EYYYY-MM-DD)

+# Falco Artifacts Storage
+
+This document reflects the way we store the Falco artifacts.
+
+## Terms & Definitions
+
+- [Falco artifacts](./20200506-artifacts-scope-part-1.md)
+- Bintray: artifacts distribution platform
+
+## Packages
+
+The Falco packages are **automatically** built and sent to [bintray](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity) in the following cases:
+
+- a pull request gets merged into the master branch (**Falco development releases**)
+- a new Falco release (git tag) happens on the master branch (**Falco stable releases**)
+
+The only prerequisite is that the specific Falco source code builds successfully and that the tests pass.
+
+As per [Falco Artifacts Scope (#1)](./20200506-artifacts-scope-part-1.md) proposal we provide three kind of Falco packages:
+
+- DEB
+- RPM
+- Tarball
+
+Thus, we have three repositories for the Falco stable releases:
+
+- https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/deb
+- https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/rpm
+- https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/bin
+
+And three repositories for the Falco development releases:
+
+- https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/deb-dev
+- https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/rpm-dev
+- https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/bin-dev
+
+## Drivers
+
+The process of publishing a set of prebuilt Falco drivers is implemented by the **Drivers Build Grid (DBG)** in the [test-infra](https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra/tree/master/driverkit) repository (`driverkit` directory).
+
+This process is driven by the configuration files (YAML) present in the `driverkit/config` directory in the [test-infra](https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra/tree/master/driverkit) repository.
+
+Each of these files represents a prebuilt driver (eventually two: kernel module and eBPF probe, when possible) that will be published on [bintray](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity) if it builds correctly.
+
+Every time the `driverkit/config` directory on the master branch has some changes from the previous commit the CI system, which you can find defined in the [.circleci/config.yml](https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml) file, takes care of building and publishing all the drivers.
+
+The driver versions we ship prebuilt drivers for are:
+
+- the driver version associated with the last Falco stable version ([see here](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/blob/c4b7f17271d1a4ca533b2e672ecaaea5289ccdc5/cmake/modules/sysdig.cmake#L29))
+- the driver version associated with the penultimate Falco stable version
+
+The prebuilt drivers get published into [this](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/driver) generic artifacts repository.
+
+You can also visualize the full list of prebuilt drivers by driver version visiting this [URL](https://dl.bintray.com/falcosecurity/driver).
+
+### Notice
+
+The generation of new prebuilt drivers takes usually place with a frequency of 1-2 weeks, on a **best-effort** basis.
+
+Thus, it can happen the list of available prebuilt drivers does not yet contain the driver version currently on Falco master.
+
+Nevertheless, this process is an open, auditable, and transparent one.
+
+So, by sending a pull-request towards [test-infra](https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra) repository containing the configuration YAML files you can help the Falco community stay on track.
+
+Some pull-requests you can look at to create your own are:
+
+- https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra/pull/165
+- https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra/pull/163
+- https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra/pull/162
+
+While, the documentation of the YAML configuration files can be found [here](https://github.com/falcosecurity/driverkit/blob/master/README.md).
+
+## Container images
+
+As per Falco packages, also the Falco official container images are **automatically** published to the [dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/falcosecurity/falco).
+
+These images are built and published in two cases:
+
+- a pull request gets merged into the master branch (**Falco development releases**)
+- a new Falco release (git tag) happens (**Falco stable releases**)
+
+For a detailed explanation of the container images we build and ship look at the following [documentation](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/blob/master/docker/README.md).

+
+## Motivation
+
+The [bintray](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity) open-source plan offers 10GB free space for storing artifacts.
+
+They also kindly granted us an additional 5GB of free space.
+
+## Goal
+
+Keep the storage space usage under 15GB by cleaning up the [Falco artifacts](./20200506-artifacts-scope-part-1.md) from the [storage](./20200818-artifacts-storage).
+
+## Status
+
+To be implemented.
+
+## Packages
+
+### Tarballs from Falco master
+
+At the moment of writing this document, this kind of Falco package requires approx. 50MB (maximum detected size) of storage space.
+
+Since, historically, the [bin-dev](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/bin-dev) repository is the less used one, this document proposes to keep only the last 10 **Falco development releases** it contains.
+
+This means that the [bin-dev](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/bin-dev) repository will take at maximum 500MB of storage space.
+
+### DEB from Falco master
+
+At the moment of writing this document, this kind of Falco package requires approx. 5.1MB (maximum detected size) of storage space.
+
+Historically, every Falco release is composed by less than 50 merges (upper limit).
+
+So, to theoretically retain all the **Falco development releases** that led to a Falco stable release, this document proposes to keep the last 50 Falco DEB packages.
+
+This means that the [deb-dev](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/deb-dev) repository will take at maximum 255MB of storage space.
+
+### RPM from Falco master
+
+At the moment of writing this document, this kind of Falco package requires approx. 4.3MB (maximum detected size) of storage space.
+
+For the same exact reasons explained above this document proposes to keep the last 50 Falco RPM packages.
+
+This means that the [rpm-dev](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/rpm-dev) repository will take at maximum 215MB of storage space.
+
+### Stable releases
+
+This document proposes to retain all the stable releases.
+
+This means that all the Falco packages present in the Falco stable release repositories will be kept.
+
+The [bin](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/bin) repository contains a Falco tarball package for every release.
+This means it grows in space of ~50MB each month.
+
+The [deb](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/deb) repository contains a Falco DEB package for every release.
+This means it grows in space of ~5MB each month.
+
+The [rpm](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/rpm) repository contains a Falco RPM package for every release.
+This means it grows in space of ~4.3MB each month.
+
+### Considerations
+
+Assuming the size of the packages does not surpass the numbers listed in the above sections, the **Falco development releases** will always take less that 1GB of artifacts storage space.
+
+Assuming 12 stable releases at year, at the current size of packages, the **Falco stable releases** will take approx. 720MB of storage space every year.
+
+### Implementation
+
+The Falco CI will have a new CI job - called `cleanup/packages-dev` - responsible for removing the **Falco development releases** depending on the above plan.
+
+This job will be triggered after the `publish/packages-dev` completed successfully.
+
+## Drivers
+
+As explained in the [Artifacts Storage](./20200818-artifacts-storage) proposal, we build the drivers for the **last two driver versions** associated with **latest Falco stable releases**.
+Then, we store those drivers into a [generic bintray repository](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/driver) from which the installation process automatically downloads them, if suitable.
+
+This document proposes to implement a cleanup mechanism that deletes all the other driver versions available.
+
+At the moment of writing, considering only the last two driver versions (**ae104eb**, **85c8895**) associated with the latest Falco stable releases, we ship ~340 eBPF drivers, each accounting for ~3.1MB of storage space, and 1512 kernel modules (~3.1MB size each, too).
+
+Thus, we obtain an estimate of approx. 2.875GB for **each** driver version.
+
+This document proposes to only store the last two driver versions associates with the latest Falco stable releases. And deleting the other ones.
+
+This way, assuming the number of prebuilt drivers does not skyrocket, we can reasonably estimate the storage space used by prebuilt drivers to be around 6GB.
+
+Notice that, in case a Falco stable release will not depend on a new driver version, this means the last two driver versions will, in this case, cover more than the two Falco stable releases.
+
+### Archivation
+
+Since the process of building drivers is time and resource consuming, this document also proposes to move the driver versions in other storage facilities.
+
+The candidate is an AWS S3 bucket responsible for holding the deleted driver version files.
+
+### Implementation
+
+The [test-infra](https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra) CI, specifically its part dedicated to run the **Drivers Build Grid** that runs every time it detects changes into the `driverkit` directory of the [test-infra](https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra) repository,
+will have a new job - called `drivers/cleanup` - responsible for removing all the Falco driver versions except the last two.
+
+This job will be triggered after the `drivers/publish` completed successfully on the master branch.

+
+### falco_traces
+
+The `falco_traces.yaml` test suite gets generated through the `falco_traces.yaml.in` file and some fixtures (`scap` files) downloaded from the web at execution time.
+
+1. Ensure you have `unzip` and `xargs` utilities
+2. Prepare the test suite with the following command:
+
+    ```console
+    bash run_regression_tests.sh -p -v
+    ```
+
+### falco_tests_package
+
+The `falco_tests_package.yaml` test suite requires some additional setup steps to be succesfully run on your local machine.
+
+In particular, it requires some runners (ie., docker images) to be already built and present into your local machine.
+
+1. Ensure you have `docker` up and running
+2. Ensure you build Falco (with bundled deps)
+
+    The recommended way of doing it by running the `falcosecurity/falco-builder` docker image from the project root:
+
+    ```console
+    docker run -v $PWD/..:/source -v $PWD/mybuild:/build falcosecurity/falco-builder cmake
+    docker run -v $PWD/..:/source -v $PWD/mybuild:/build falcosecurity/falco-builder falco
+    ```
+
+3. Ensure you build the Falco packages from the Falco above:
+
+    ```console
+    docker run -v $PWD/..:/source -v $PWD/mybuild:/build falcosecurity/falco-builder package
+    ```
+
+4. Ensure you build the runners:
+
+    ```console
+    FALCO_VERSION=$(./mybuild/release/userspace/falco/falco --version  | head -n 1 | cut -d' ' -f3 | tr -d '\r')
+    mkdir -p /tmp/runners-rootfs
+    cp -R ./test/rules /tmp/runners-rootfs
+    cp -R ./test/trace_files /tmp/runners-rootfs
+    cp ./mybuild/release/falco-${FALCO_VERSION}-x86_64.{deb,rpm,tar.gz} /tmp/runners-rootfs
+    docker build -f docker/tester/root/runners/deb.Dockerfile --build-arg FALCO_VERSION=${FALCO_VERSION} -t falcosecurity/falco:test-deb /tmp/runners-rootfs
+    docker build -f docker/tester/root/runners/rpm.Dockerfile --build-arg FALCO_VERSION=${FALCO_VERSION} -t falcosecurity/falco:test-rpm /tmp/runners-rootfs
+    docker build -f docker/tester/root/runners/tar.gz.Dockerfile --build-arg FALCO_VERSION=${FALCO_VERSION} -t falcosecurity/falco:test-tar.gz /tmp/runners-rootfs
+    ```
+
+5. Run the `falco_tests_package.yaml` test suite from the `test` directory
+
+    ```console
+    cd test
+    BUILD_DIR="../mybuild" avocado run --mux-yaml falco_tests_package.yaml --job-results-dir /tmp/job-results -- falco_test.py
+    ```
+
+### Execute all the test suites
+
+In case you want to run all the test suites at once, you can directly use the `run_regression_tests.sh` runner script.
+
+```console
+cd test
+./run_regression_tests.sh -v
+```
+
+Just make sure you followed all the previous setup steps.
