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.

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-define infrastructure scope like Kubernetes namespaces, OpenShift clusters, deployment workload, cloud regions etc.

We route all Falco events to our control systems, both monitoring and logging. Being able to deeply analyse alerts, we can understand what is running on our Kubernetes clusters and check against security policies, specifically defined for each workload. A set of alarms notifies us in case of critical events, letting us react fast. In the near future we plan to build a little application to route Kubernetes internal events directly to Falco, fully leveraging Falco PodSecurityPolicies analyses.

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.

-# Process for becoming a maintainer
-
-* Express interest to the existing maintainers that you or your organization is interested in becoming a
-  maintainer. Becoming a maintainer generally means that you are going to be spending substantial
-  time (>25%) on Falco for the foreseeable future. You should have domain expertise and be extremely
-  proficient in C++. Ultimately your goal is to become a maintainer that will represent your
-  organization.
-* We will expect you to start contributing increasingly complicated PRs, under the guidance
-  of the existing maintainers.
-* We may ask you to do some PRs from our backlog.
-* As you gain experience with the code base and our standards, we will ask you to do code reviews
-  for incoming PRs (i.e., all maintainers are expected to shoulder a proportional share of
-  community reviews).
-* After a period of approximately 2-3 months of working together and making sure we see eye to eye,
-  the existing maintainers will confer and decide whether to grant maintainer status or not.
-  We make no guarantees on the length of time this will take, but 2-3 months is the approximate
-  goal.
-
-## Maintainer responsibilities
-
-* Monitor Slack (delayed response is perfectly acceptable).
-* Triage GitHub issues and perform pull request reviews for other maintainers and the community.
-* During GitHub issue triage, apply all applicable [labels](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/labels)
-  to each new issue. Labels are extremely useful for future issue follow up. Which labels to apply
-  is somewhat subjective so just use your best judgment.
-* Make sure that ongoing PRs are moving forward at the right pace or closing them.
-* Participate when called upon in the security releases. Note that although this should be a rare
-  occurrence, if a serious vulnerability is found, the process may take up to several full days of
-  work to implement. This reality should be taken into account when discussing time commitment
-  obligations with employers.
-* In general continue to be willing to spend at least 25% of ones time working on Falco (~1.25
-  business days per week).
-
-## When does a maintainer lose maintainer status
-
-If a maintainer is no longer interested or cannot perform the maintainer duties listed above, they
-should volunteer to be moved to emeritus status. In extreme cases this can also occur by a vote of
-the maintainers per the voting process below.
-
-# Conflict resolution and voting
-
-In general, we prefer that technical issues and maintainer membership are amicably worked out
-between the persons involved. If a dispute cannot be decided independently, the maintainers can be
-called in to decide an issue. If the maintainers themselves cannot decide an issue, the issue will
-be resolved by voting. The voting process is a simple majority in which each senior maintainer
-receives two votes and each normal maintainer receives one vote.
-
-# Adding new projects to the falcosecurity GitHub organization
-
-New projects will be added to the falcosecurity organization via GitHub issue discussion in one of the
-existing projects in the organization. Once sufficient discussion has taken place (~3-5 business
-days but depending on the volume of conversation), the maintainers of *the project where the issue
-was opened* (since different projects in the organization may have different maintainers) will
-decide whether the new project should be added. See the section above on voting if the maintainers
-cannot easily decide.

 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.

+# Proposal for First Class Structured Exceptions in Falco Rules
+
+## Summary
+
+## Motivation
+
+Almost all Falco Rules have cases where the behavior detected by the
+rule should be allowed. For example, The rule Write Below Binary Dir
+has exceptions for specific programs that are known to write below
+these directories as a part of software installation/management:
+
+```yaml
+- rule: Write below binary dir
+  desc: an attempt to write to any file below a set of binary directories
+  condition: >
+    bin_dir and evt.dir = < and open_write
+    and not package_mgmt_procs
+    and not exe_running_docker_save
+    and not python_running_get_pip
+    and not python_running_ms_oms
+    and not user_known_write_below_binary_dir_activities
+...
+```
+In most cases, these exceptions are expressed as concatenations to the original rule's condition. For example, looking at the macro package_mgmt_procs:
+
+```yaml
+- macro: package_mgmt_procs
+  condition: proc.name in (package_mgmt_binaries)
+```
+
+The result is appending `and not proc.name in (package_mgmt_binaries)` to the condition of the rule.
+
+A more extreme case of this is the write_below_etc macro used by Write below etc rule. It has tens of exceptions:
+
+```
+...
+    and not sed_temporary_file
+    and not exe_running_docker_save
+    and not ansible_running_python
+    and not python_running_denyhosts
+    and not fluentd_writing_conf_files
+    and not user_known_write_etc_conditions
+    and not run_by_centrify
+    and not run_by_adclient
+    and not qualys_writing_conf_files
+    and not git_writing_nssdb
+...
+```
+
+The exceptions all generally follow the same structure--naming a program and a directory prefix below /etc where that program is allowed to write files.
+
+### Using Appends/Overwrites to Customize Rules
+
+An important way to customize rules and macros is to use `append: true` to add to them, or `append: false` to define a new rule/macro, overwriting the original rule/macro. Here's an example from Update Package Repository:
+
+```yaml
+- list: package_mgmt_binaries
+  items: [rpm_binaries, deb_binaries, update-alternat, gem, pip, pip3, sane-utils.post, alternatives, chef-client, apk, snapd]
+
+- macro: package_mgmt_procs
+  condition: proc.name in (package_mgmt_binaries)
+
+- macro: user_known_update_package_registry
+  condition: (never_true)
+
+- rule: Update Package Repository
+  desc: Detect package repositories get updated
+  condition: >
+    ((open_write and access_repositories) or (modify and modify_repositories))
+    and not package_mgmt_procs
+    and not exe_running_docker_save
+    and not user_known_update_package_registry
+```
+
+If someone wanted to add additional exceptions to this rule, they could add the following to the user_rules file:
+
+```yaml
+- list: package_mgmt_binaries
+  items: [puppet]
+  append: true
+
+- macro: package_mgmt_procs
+  condition: and not proc.pname=chef
+  append: true
+
+- macro: user_known_update_package_registry
+  condition: (proc.name in (npm))
+  append: false
+```
+
+This adds an 3 different exceptions:
+* an additional binary to package_mgmt_binaries (because append is true),
+* adds to package_mgmt_procs, adding an exception for programs spawned by chef (because append is true)
+* overrides the macro user_known_update_package_registry to add an exception for npm (because append is false).
+
+### Problems with Appends/Overrides to Define Exceptions
+
+Although the concepts of macros and lists in condition fields, combined with appending to lists/conditions in macros/rules, is very general purpose, it can be unwieldy:
+
+* Appending to conditions can result in incorrect behavior, unless the original condition has its logical operators set up properly with parentheses. For example:
+
+```yaml
+rule: my_rule
+condition: (evt.type=open and (fd.name=/tmp/foo or fd.name=/tmp/bar))
+
+rule: my_rule
+condition: or fd.name=/tmp/baz
+append: true
+```
+
+Results in unintended behavior. It will match any fd related event where the name is /tmp/baz, when the intent was probably to add /tmp/baz as an additional opened file.
+
+* A good convention many rules use is to have a clause "and not user_known_xxxx" built into the condition field. However, it's not in all rules and its use is a bit haphazard.
+
+* Appends and overrides can get confusing if you try to apply them multiple times. For example:
+
+```yaml
+macro: allowed_files
+condition: fd.name=/tmp/foo
+
+...
+
+macro: allowed_files
+condition: and fd.name=/tmp/bar
+append: true
+```
+
+If someone wanted to override the original behavior of allowed_files, they would have to use `append: false` in a third definition of allowed_files, but this would result in losing the append: true override.
+
+## Solution: Exceptions as first class objects
+
+To address some of these problems, we will add the notion of Exceptions as top level objects alongside Rules, Macros, and Lists. A rule that supports exceptions must define a new key `exceptions` in the rule. The exceptions key is a list of identifier plus list of tuples of filtercheck fields. Here's an example:
+
+```yaml
+- rule: Write below binary dir
+  desc: an attempt to write to any file below a set of binary directories
+  condition: >
+    bin_dir and evt.dir = < and open_write
+    and not package_mgmt_procs
+    and not exe_running_docker_save
+    and not python_running_get_pip
+    and not python_running_ms_oms
+    and not user_known_write_below_binary_dir_activities
+  exceptions:
+   - name: proc_writer
+     fields: [proc.name, fd.directory]
+   - name: container_writer
+     fields: [container.image.repository, fd.directory]
+     comps: [=, startswith]
+   - name: proc_filenames
+     fields: [proc.name, fd.name]
+     comps: [=, in]
+   - name: filenames
+     fields: fd.filename
+     comps: in
+```
+
+This rule defines four kinds of exceptions:
+  * proc_writer: uses a combination of proc.name and fd.directory
+  * container_writer: uses a combination of container.image.repository and fd.directory
+  * proc_filenames: uses a combination of process and list of filenames.
+  * filenames: uses a list of filenames
+
+The specific strings "proc_writer"/"container_writer"/"proc_filenames"/"filenames" are arbitrary strings and don't have a special meaning to the rules file parser. They're only used to link together the list of field names with the list of field values that exist in the exception object.
+
+proc_writer does not have any comps property, so the fields are directly compared to values using the = operator. container_writer does have a comps property, so each field will be compared to the corresponding exception items using the corresponding comparison operator.
+
+proc_filenames uses the in comparison operator, so the corresponding values entry should be a list of filenames.
+
+filenames differs from the others in that it names a single field and single comp operator. This changes how the exception condition snippet is constructed (see below).
+
+Notice that exceptions are defined as a part of the rule. This is important because the author of the rule defines what construes a valid exception to the rule. In this case, an exception can consist of a process and file directory (actor and target), but not a process name only (too broad).
+
+Exception values will most commonly be defined in rules with append: true. Here's an example:
+
+```yaml
+- list: apt_files
+  items: [/bin/ls, /bin/rm]
+
+- rule: Write below binary dir
+  exceptions:
+  - name: proc_writer
+    values:
+    - [apk, /usr/lib/alpine]
+    - [npm, /usr/node/bin]
+  - name: container_writer
+    values:
+    - [docker.io/alpine, /usr/libexec/alpine]
+  - name: proc_filenames
+    values:
+    - [apt, apt_files]
+    - [rpm, [/bin/cp, /bin/pwd]]
+  - name: filenames
+    values: [python, go]
+```
+
+A rule exception applies if for a given event, the fields in a rule.exception match all of the values in some exception.item. For example, if a program `apk` writes to a file below `/usr/lib/alpine`, the rule will not trigger, even if the condition is met.
+
+Notice that an item in a values list can be a list. This allows building exceptions with operators like "in", "pmatch", etc. that work on a list of items. The item can also be a name of an existing list. If not present surrounding parantheses will be added.
+
+Finally, note that the structure of the values property differs between the items where fields is a list of fields (proc_writer/container_writer/proc_filenames) and when it is a single field (procs_only). This changes how the condition snippet is constructed.
+
+### Implementation
+
+For exception items where the fields property is a list of field names, each exception can be thought of as an implicit "and not (field1 cmp1 val1 and field2 cmp2 val2 and...)" appended to the rule's condition. For exception items where the fields property is a single field name, the exception can be thought of as an implict "and not field cmp (val1, val2, ...)". In practice, that's how exceptions will be implemented.
+
+When a rule is parsed, the original condition will be wrapped in an extra layer of parentheses and all exception values will be appended to the condition. For example, using the example above, the resulting condition will be:
+
+```
+(<Write below binary dir condition>) and not (
+    (proc.name = apk and fd.directory = /usr/lib/alpine) or (proc.name = npm and fd.directory = /usr/node/bin) or
+	(container.image.repository = docker.io/alpine and fd.directory startswith /usr/libexec/alpine) or
+	(proc.name=apt and fd.name in (apt_files))) or
+	(fd.filename in (python, go))))
+```
+
+The exceptions are effectively syntatic sugar that allows expressing sets of exceptions in a concise way.
+
+### Advantages
+
+Adding Exception objects as described here has several advantages:
+
+* All rules will implicitly support exceptions. A rule writer doesn't need to define a user_known_xxx macro and add it to the condition.
+* The rule writer has some controls on what defines a valid exception. The rule author knows best what is a good exception, and can define the fields that make up the exception.
+* With this approach, it's much easier to add and manage multiple sets of exceptions from multiple sources. You're just combining lists of tuples of filtercheck field values.
+
+## Backwards compatibility
+
+To take advantage of these new features, users will need to upgrade Falco to a version that supports exception objects and exception keys in rules. For the most part, however, the rules file structure is unchanged.
+
+This approach does not remove the ability to append to exceptions nor the existing use of user_xxx macros to define exceptions to rules. It only provides an additional way to express exceptions. Hopefully, we can migrate existing exceptions to use this approach, but there isn't any plan to make wholesale rules changes as a part of this.
+
+This approach is for the most part backwards compatible with older Falco releases. To implement exceptions, we'll add a preprocessing element to rule parsing. The main Falco engine is unchanged.
+
+However, there are a few changes we'll have to make to Falco rules file parsing:
+
+* Currently, Falco will reject files containing anything other than rule/macro/list top-level objects. As a result, `exception` objects would be rejected. We'll probably want to make a one-time change to Falco to allow arbitrary top level objects.
+* Similarly, Falco will reject rule objects with exception keys. We'll also probably want to change Falco to allow unknown keys inside rule/macro/list/exception objects.

+# OSS Libraries Donation Plan
+
+## Summary
+
+Sysdig Inc. intends to donate **libsinsp**, **libscap**, the **kernel module driver** and the **eBPF driver sources** by moving them to the Falco project.
+
+This means that some parts of the [draios/sysdig](https://github.com/draios/sysdig) repository will be moved to a new GitHub repository called [falcosecurity/libs](https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs).
+
+This plan aims to describe and clarify the terms and goals to get the donation done.
+
+## Motivation
+
+There are two main OSS projects using the libraries and drivers that we are aware of:
+
+- [sysdig](https://github.com/draios/sysdig)  the command line tool
+- [Falco](https:/github.com/falcosecurity/falco), the CNCF project.
+
+Since the Falco project is a heavy user of the libraries, a lot more than the sysdig cli tool, Sysdig (the company) decided to donate the libraries and the driver to the Falco community.
+
+Sysdig (the command line tool) will continue to use the libraries now provided by the Falco community underneath.
+
+This change is win-win for both parties because of the following reasons:
+
+- The Falco community owns the source code of the three most important parts of the software it distributes.
+  - Right now it is "only" an engine on top of the libraries. This **donation** helps in making the scope of the Falco project broader. 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.
+
+- Given the previous point, Sysdig (the command line tool) will benefit from the now **extended contributors base**
+
+- Sysdig (the company) can now focus on the user experience and user space features
+
+- **Contributions** to the libraries and drivers will be **easier** to spread across the Falco community
+
+- By being donated, with their own **release process**, **release artifacts**, and **documentation**, the libraries can now live on their own and possibly be used directly in other projects by becoming fundamental pieces for their success.
+
+## Goals
+
+There are many sub-projects and each of them interacts in a different way in this donation.
+
+Let's see the goals per sub-project.
+
+### libsinsp
+
+1. Extract libsinsp from `draios/sysdig/userspace/libsinsp` (keeping the commit history) into [falcosecurity/libs](https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs)
+
+2. The migration comes first, then we can do additional PRs for the points below so that we do only one thing at a time and keep the history linear
+
+3. Keep the same code, refactorings will need to be done in subsequent PRs and approved separately
+
+4. Adapt the CMake and build files
+
+5. Install [poiana](https://github.com/poiana) and its workflows on it
+
+6. Define the `OWNERS`
+
+   - Owners are chosen from the current major contributors (considering the past two years) to this project, given their availability, commitment is key
+
+7. When possible, migrate issues and PRs to the new repository
+
+8. Distribute the `libsinsp.so` library and headers as an artifact (rpm, deb, tar.gz) following the falcosecurity current process
+
+9. Distribute the `libsinsp.a` library and headers as an artifact (rpm, deb, tar.gz) following the falcosecurity current process
+
+10. Creation of the CI scripts using the Falco CI and Falco Infra
+
+11. The CI scripts will need to publish the artifacts in the current falcosecurity artifacts repository
+
+12. Artifacts will be pushed for every tag (release) and for every master merge (development release)
+
+13. Falco follows a [multi-stage model for adopting new projects](https://github.com/falcosecurity/evolution#falco-project-evolution), in this case we will do an exception since the library is foundational for Falco and it has a very good track record already
+
+14. This project will go already "Official support" once the donation is completed
+
+15. Contributing, Code of Conduct, Governance, Security, and Support will be the same as the rest of the organization, find them [here](https://github.com/falcosecurity/.github)
+
+16. Every other additional change will need to have its own process with a proposal
+
+17. Implement the release process as described above
+
+18. Propose a change to Falco repository to use the artifacts produced by the libsinsp release process for the build
+
+19. Document the API
+

+   - Owners are chosen from the current major contributors (considering the past two years) to this project, given their availability, commitment is key
+
+7. When possible, migrate issues and PRs to the new repository
+
+8. Falco follows a [multi-stage model for adopting new projects](https://github.com/falcosecurity/evolution#falco-project-evolution), in this case we will do an exception since the library is foundational for Falco and it has a very good track record already. We are just changing maintenance ownership
+
+9. Contributing, Code of Conduct, Governance, Security, and Support will be the same as the rest of the organization, find them [here](https://github.com/falcosecurity/.github)
+
+10. Every other additional change will need to have its own process with a proposal
+
+11. The Falco community already ships driver artifacts using [driverkit](https://github.com/falcosecurity/driverkit) and the [test-infra repository](https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra)
+
+    - Adapt the place from which [driverkit](https://github.com/falcosecurity/driverkit) grabs the drivers source
+
+12. This project will go already "Official support" once the migration is completed.
+
+### Falco
+
+1. Adapt the CMake files to point to the new homes for libscap, libsinsp and the drivers
+
+2. When distributing the deb and rpm, libscap and libsinsp will need to be install dependencies and not anymore compiled into Falco
+
+### Driverkit
+
+1. Change the source location for the drivers to point to the new driver repository
+
+### pdig
+
+1. The project will need to be adapted to use libscap and libsinsp and the fillers from their new location
