New Era

Why Jibril Stands Out

IT environments generate vast amounts of logs, with security teams relying on real-time kernel event streaming tools that often falter during high traffic, causing system slowdowns and data loss.

Jibril's query-driven eBPF approach, unlike traditional event-streaming models, collects kernel behavioral data with minimal overhead, eliminating performance bottlenecks while maintaining monitoring integrity.

Core Innovations

Event-Less, Query-Driven Monitoring

• Jibril's Innovation

  Jibril stores events in in-kernel eBPF maps and retrieves them on-demand, eliminating ring-buffer overload and data loss while maintaining performance under system stress.

• Traditional Tools

  Traditional solutions depend on event flooding via ring buffers to transfer kernel events to user space, creating bottlenecks under load.

Minimal Overhead, Maximum Visibility

• Ensured Data Integrity Maps feature cryptographic hashing to prevent unauthorized key generation or modification. Any tampering renders the system "tainted," ensuring detectability and preserving forensic integrity.

• Kernel-Resident Data Management Jibril employs interconnected hashed key-value maps with strategic caching to prevent query exhaustion, minimizing context switching and reducing overhead—unlike traditional streaming tools that degrade under load.

High-Frequency Event Efficiency

• Resiliency: Jibril's in-kernel storage delivers reliable monitoring without CPU strain. While standard eBPF tools may drop events at enterprise loads - sometimes exceeding 50,000 events per second - Jibril maintains consistent performance without data loss.

Jibril Security Model

Behavioral Data Integrity

• Detection Recipe Confidentiality The logic behind Jibril's monitoring is kept secret, preventing attackers from understanding detection patterns and reducing their chances of evasion.

• Rate-Limiting Jibril can impose limits on repetitive events globally, per binary, or per process, ensuring your system isn't overwhelmed.

Kernel/Userland Separation

• Secure Memory Access All eBPF programs undergo validation by the Linux kernel verifier, preventing unauthorized memory access.

• Low-Latency Interactions On-demand queries replace constant event "firehoses" between kernel and user space, minimizing overhead.

Access Control and Monitoring

• Privilege Protection Only root users with CAP_BPF or CAP_SYS_ADMIN permissions can load or inspect Jibril's kernel programs, with unauthorized attempts automatically flagged as tampering.

• Userland Privilege Management Jibril follows least-privilege principles, dropping unnecessary capabilities after eBPF initialization to prevent privilege exploitation.

System Resilience

• Tamper Detection Any unverified writes to eBPF maps or rogue eBPF loads are caught and flagged.

• Plugin Isolation Each detection plugin operates in a dedicated thread, preventing individual failures from compromising the entire monitoring system.

Compliance Alignment

• GDPR-Focused Jibril tracks only metadata (filenames, PIDs, timestamps)—not content—minimizing personal data processing risks. Future updates will implement anonymization for enhanced compliance requirements.

• ISO 27001 Ready Robust logging, granular access controls, and tamper alerting facilitate compliance with ISO 27001 security framework requirements.

From Kernel to Userland

Data Collection (Kernel Space)

• Uniform Binary Object Jibril's eBPF code executes consistently across diverse kernel versions without requiring custom modules.

• Key-Value Map Storage Process behaviors and events are hashed into eBPF maps, enabling minimal CPU consumption and rapid lookups.

Userland Daemon

• Detection & Pattern Matching The daemon selectively retrieves kernel data and analyzes it against detection recipes to identify anomalies and suspicious activities.

• Modular Detection Jibril's detection logic comes in built-in plugins organized by type (file, network, etc.), each running in an isolated thread to prevent system-wide failures from individual plugin issues.

Printers & Dashboards

• Flexible Output: Detection events can be routed to multiple destinations including stdout, logs, external dashboards.

• Secure Submissions: All data transmission occurs over authenticated channels (HTTPS with API tokens) to maintain confidentiality and integrity.

Extensibility

Plugins & Extensions

• Security-by-Design Plugins are pre-compiled with well-defined detection recipes, with future versions planned to support runtime extensions via a descriptive language without compromising system stability.

• Thread-Based Isolation Self-contained plugins operate independently, ensuring that issues in one monitoring area (like network detection) cannot impact others (such as file monitoring).

Printers

• Built-In Dispatch Jibril includes various "printers" that forward detection events to logs, dashboards, or external APIs, all easily configured through simple toggles.

• Optional AI Integrations For advanced threat analytics, Jibril can transmit summarized data to OpenAI services, leveraging machine learning for intuitive pattern interpretation while protecting raw data.

---

Roadmap

• Enhanced Data Protection Future updates will implement data anonymization for sensitive information and optional encryption for kernel-collected data.

• Comprehensive Compliance Planned enhancements include expanded GDPR and ISO 27001 audit support through detailed access logs, improved documentation, and configurable redaction capabilities.
