๐Ÿ”ฌ Efficient Network Monitoring with eBPF: Architecture, Performance, and Security Applications

Modern cloud-native and distributed infrastructures demand scalable, flexible, and resource-efficient network monitoring mechanisms.

Our research investigates eBPF-based packet inspection for collecting statistical information from IPv4, IPv6, TCP, and UDP headers to support the detection of network covert channels.

We introduce bccstego and experimentally compare its performance against Zeek and libpcap, evaluating CPU utilization, memory consumption, throughput, packet loss, and jitter.

๐Ÿ“Š Key findings: eBPF provides flexible, low-overhead monitoring with negligible impact on network transmission in the evaluated scenarios. However, the Python-based implementation introduces additional resource costs compared with native C implementations.
