Love all the work Brenden has done on BPF. It's made my life much easier when working on Linux systems. I will definitely be getting this book.
Does anyone know if MacOS is ever going to provide more BPF support? I've tried piping some of the Linux BPF tools to Mac and have ultimately been frustrated on many fronts.
- twsted 7y agomacOS has DTrace, a powerful tool created within Solaris and later implemented both in macOS and FreeBSD.
- rtkaratekid 7y agoYes, I've used DTrace extensively. Unfortunately the tracepoints are limited and I've found that the MacOS kernel functions aren't quite the same as what you can find for Darwin/BSD. I think Apple is just uncomfortable with the idea of people poking around in the kernel more than they'd like.
