Nov 16 ISC Webinar on using eBPF with BIND 9

[Victoria Risk]

The next session of ISC’s webinar series, Securing BIND 9, is coming up on November 16. Carsten Strotmann will cover Instrumenting BIND 9 on Linux with BCC/eBPF. 

eBPF, the "extended Berkeley Packet Filter", is a powerful technology to instrument the Linux Kernel and applications. It will probably replace the traditional Linux Firewall (netfilter/iptables/nftables) in the coming years, so if you are not using it yet, you should learn now.

eBPF tools and scripts can be used to gain insight into a running processes, such as named. eBPF also provides valuable information for performance tuning on Linux. eBPF sees not only the network packets (like a traditional firewall), but also the syscalls and other kernel information. So it is possible to create richer firewall rules based on application data.

This webinar gives an introduction into the eBPF/BCC toolset and shows how to use the tools to inspect a running BIND 9 process. We will also discuss some security applications for eBPF, such as finding the source of suspicious queries or traffic on the network.

At the end of this webinar there will be an optional Hands-On Session.
