BPF Tools
=========

Introductory blog posts:

- http://blog.cloudflare.com/bpf-the-forgotten-bytecode/
- http://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-the-bpf-tools/

Here you can find a set of tool for analyzing and processing of pcap
traffic dumps. The aim of this tool is to help creating BPF rules that
will match (and drop) malicious traffic.

To run these scripts you will need:

- Kernel headers (ideally from a 3.10+ kernel):

$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic

- Installed dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools libpcap-dev \
libreadline-dev binutils-dev bison flex
$ sudo easy_install pcappy

- Build the binary tools in `linux_tools` directory:

$ make

BPF Tools repository contains a number simple Python scripts, some of
them focus on analyzing pcap files, others focus more on the BPF:

- `pcap2hex`, `hex2pcap`
- `parsedns`
- `bpfgen`
- `filter`
- `iptables_bpf`, `iptables_bpf_chain`

bpfgen
======

The core script is `bpfgen` which generates the BPF bytecode. For more
information please read:

$ ./bpfgen --help
$ ./bpfgen dns -- --help
$ ./bpfgen dns_validate -- --help
$ ./bpfgen suffix -- --help

iptables_bpf
============

This script generates a simple bash script that contains iptables
rules that drop traffic based on selected parameters.

For example, to generate a script dropping packets exactly to a domain
"example.com" you can run:

$ ./iptables_bpf dns -- example.com
Generated file 'bpf_dns_ip4_example_com.sh'

If you want commands for IPv6 use `-6` flag:

$ ./iptables_bpf -6 dns -- example.com
Generated file 'bpf_dns_ip6_example_com.sh'

The rule can match any from a number listed domains:

$ ./iptables_bpf dns -- example.com example1.com example2.com
Generated file 'bpf_dns_ip4_example_com_example1_com_example2_com.sh'

If you want to match any subdomain you can use a star '*'. This will
only work if star is the only character in a domain part. Valid
examples:

$ ./iptables_bpf dns -- *.example.com
Generated file 'bpf_dns_ip4_any_example_com.sh'

$ ./iptables_bpf dns -- *.example.*.gov.de
Generated file 'bpf_dns_ip4_any_example_any_gov_de.sh'

You can run the generated script to apply the rule and match it
against one or more flooded ip addresses:

$ sudo ./bpf_dns_ip4_example_com.sh 1.2.3.4/32

To remove the iptable rule simply specify `--delete`:

$ sudo ./bpf_dns_ip4_example_com.sh --delete
