Tetragon, the BPF-based security monitoring tool,uses BPF to monitor different aspects of a running kernel andenforce user-specified policies. It sends its data to a user-space process,which forwards the data to a central monitoring service elsewhere in thenetwork, however. Thispresents a point of vulnerability: if an attacker can kill Tetragon's user-spaceagent, it won't be able to properly report on the situation. Song Liu, MaheTardy, and Liam Wiseheart spoke about their work removing the need for theuser-space agent at the 2026Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, andBPF Summit.
