Something’s off here. I’m reasonably well read and literate on computer topics, I’ve worked in cyber security for over 5 years now, and extremely open-minded to new ideas — this reads at best like derivative marketing jargon and little in the way of technical.
- tptacek 3y agoeBPF is an extremely big deal in computer and network security, so, I assure you, this isn't "derivative marketing jargon", and it is very technical.
- upghost 3y agoWell that is wild and kinda cool. I don’t often find things that are so foreign to me they appear fake! I’ll have to poke around a little more, thanks for the correction.
- cookiengineer 3y agoThe game changing idea behind eBPF is XDP in my opinion. Lots of network drivers and NICs support offloading XDP programs ("xdp_prog") to the network controller's chipset, which results in zero CPU i/o interrupts if you e.g. use an XDP_DROP to block traffic. Being able to block network traffic _before_ it reaches even kernelspace is a game changer.
- PhilipRoman 3y agoI've found kernel documentation under Documentation/bpf to be the best resource available. Clear, concise and no marketing-speak As for this repository - the README triggered a false alarm in my bullshit sensors, but the code example is pretty nice.
