 * [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.

-## 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.

+
+### 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.

+This step assumes you already built Falco.
+
+Note that the tests are intended to be run against a [release build](https://falco.org/docs/source/#specify-the-build-type) of Falco, at the moment.
+
+Also, it assumes you prepared [falco_traces](#falco_traces) (see the section below) and you already run the following command from the build directory:
+
+```console
+make test-trace-files
+```
+
+It prepares the fixtures (`json` and `scap` files) needed by the integration tests.

+avocado variants --mux-yaml falco_tests.yaml

+
+### 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.
