Cisco Acquires Splunk

Like snort, but looks at system calls.

Kubernetes security projects for entry grad roles in DevSecOps/Cloud security
From one noob to another - I had a lot of fun setting up Falco (https://falco.org) and creating custom policies & alerts.

An Overview of Kubernetes Security Projects at KubeCon Europe 2023
Falco is a well-known open source security solution originally created by Sysdig. It’s a CNCF incubating project and one of the few (as far as I can tell) options on this list that uses eBPF to scan for vulnerabilities.

K8s secret management
Use some kind of SIEM or Falco to alert you to threats (you can't stop them, but a human can always intervene)

How to Deploy and Scale Strapi on a Kubernetes Cluster 2/2
Falco, is a security project that can help you detect threats from within your cluster.
- Opensource IDS for Kubernetes??
-
Go based eBPF projects
https://falco.org/ is a security-focused monitoring and alerting with an eBPF option
- Is there a utility that can send shell command to all pods?
- eBPF – Running sandboxed programs in a privileged context such as OS kernel

My GoLab 2022 experience
On the cgo side I want to highlight two talks: one from Loris Cro about dealing with cross-complition difficulties, that the usage of cgo brings, using the Zig language and the other from Jason Dellaluce and Leonardo Grasso about how to extend Falco, a Kubernetes threat detection engine, which is written in C++, with plugins written in Go, explaining the challenges of integrating cgo in both C and Go.

Ask HN: SQLite in Production?
Perhaps the OP means OsQuery: https://github.com/osquery/osquery
OsQuery is an SQLite extension consisting of hundreds of virtual tables
-
Osquery: An sqlite3 virtual table exposing operating system data to SQL
There's at least one open data quality issue for `process_open_sockets` on macOS[1]. It's a few years old however and, if you aren't seeing that casting error, you probably aren't hitting it. But that's a good example of the kind of debt that's been built up over time.
(In terms of general purpose/flexible tooling, I'm not aware of a close replacement for osquery.)

- SQLite virtual table to query operating system data via SQL
-
Show HN: Natural Language to SQL "Text-to-SQL" API by Dataherald
The largest we have successfully deployed is on the OSQuery schema https://osquery.io/ which is 277 tables and lots of business context (malwares, vulnerabilities, Windows registry keys, etc).

Alternative to Endpoint Protector?
From a self hosted standpoint OSQuery or Wazuh are your best bets for monitoring USB devices. Windows makes blocking really challenging and I’m not aware of any “free” solutions that attempt it.

Firewall rules beyond "deny incoming, enable only the ports that you need"
Configure auditd to monitor host activity: https://izyknows.medium.com/linux-auditd-for-threat-detection-d06c8b941505 or osquery: https://osquery.io/ (or similar software: filebeat for example).

Osquery + Fleet. https://osquery.io/ https://fleetdm.com/, using the two allows you to build a query to answer what ever questions you (or an auditor) might have about your environment.
