RFE: trace TLS in container #65

vincentmli · 2022-05-30T17:26:14Z

Hi,

for example I have a netshoot pod running in kubernetes, when I run curl

kubectl exec -it netshoot-hostnetwork  -- curl -k -v https://10.1.34.88/

I want to trace the TLS connection from the curl from the netshoot-hostnetwork pod, the curl in netshoot-hostnetwork pod has libssl below in the pod namespace

kubectl exec -it netshoot-hostnetwork  -- ldd /usr/bin/curl
	/lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 (0x7f932eda0000)
	libcurl.so.4 => /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 (0x7f932ece5000)
	libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x7f932eccb000)
	libc.musl-x86_64.so.1 => /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 (0x7f932eda0000)
	libnghttp2.so.14 => /usr/lib/libnghttp2.so.14 (0x7f932eca6000)
	libssl.so.1.1 => /lib/libssl.so.1.1 (0x7f932ec25000)
	libcrypto.so.1.1 => /lib/libcrypto.so.1.1 (0x7f932e9a4000)
	libbrotlidec.so.1 => /usr/lib/libbrotlidec.so.1 (0x7f932e998000)
	libbrotlicommon.so.1 => /usr/lib/libbrotlicommon.so.1 (0x7f932e975000)

is this possible? or in general, could we improve ecapture to capture container TLS traffic?

I could do this:

find the netshoot docker ID

docker ps | grep -w netshoot
b37ffd7a8341   nicolaka/netshoot           "/bin/sleep 3600"        50 minutes ago      Up 50 minutes                k8s_netshoot_netshoot-hostnetwork_default_751666e9-5a23-4da1-952f-379288b47f97_0

docker inspect the ID

docker inspect b37ffd7a8341  | grep '"MergedDir"'
                "MergedDir": "/var/lib/docker/overlay2/02c5fe50b9c6a817c47117ebddd8be82cf4095a6ff278f197519b1cedb7c3d75/merged",

yes, you are right. eh....Is your problem solved?

vincentmli · 2022-05-31T04:11:18Z

yes it is resolved, thanks for this great project :)

BurlyLuo · 2022-05-31T08:43:52Z

yes it is resolved, thanks for this great project :)

Thanks the test.
Can we have a sample to use this tool into the container?

cfc4n · 2022-05-31T10:59:34Z

@BurlyLuo That is a good idea. can you send a PR for it? or an article?

vincentmli · 2022-05-31T14:03:41Z

hm, this brings me thoughts about multi tenant cloud environment, that someone could run ecapture as container and gain privilege on the node and sniff other tenant containers TLS connection, is that possible ?

cfc4n · 2022-05-31T14:15:05Z

Of course, if the container is authorized with the SYS_ADMIN permission, then it can obtain the communication plaintext of all networks on this host.

So, That is an other topic about eBPF security on runtime.

vincentmli · 2022-05-31T14:33:43Z

I wonder if https://github.com/cilium/tetragon is able to detect this scenario, I assume your ehids could detect this too

cfc4n · 2022-06-01T04:12:26Z

tetragon is the learning objective of ehids.

vincentmli · 2022-06-01T15:28:10Z

I am not familiar with docker, can we create a docker file for ecapture to run ecapture in container/pod ?

cfc4n · 2022-06-01T15:49:45Z

I think It is not necessary. via: #23

vincentmli · 2022-06-01T15:58:18Z

ok, good, just one more question, is it possible to give --libssl argument multiple libssl path so ecapture could capture multiple TLS connections for multiple processes/commands ? I guess we can run multiple ecapture commands to achieve that, just wonder :)

cfc4n · 2022-06-01T16:34:24Z

1, eCapture can capture all process TLS paintext who use the same libssl.so default. and can use pid arg to filter.
2, Can run multiple eCapture with every libssl path to achieve that.
3, Of course, an eCapture process can hook multiple ssl/tls SO file, but I don't think this is a necessary requirement.

vincentmli · 2022-06-01T16:40:30Z

ah, right I got 1), I am thinking in k8s pod/container scenario that each pod/container might have their own libssl copy, yes 2) can achieve that.

vincentmli · 2022-06-01T17:34:34Z

by the way, I recorded a short video playing with ecapture https://youtu.be/Au1YeB0nz3g

cfc4n · 2022-06-01T17:49:49Z

Good job. I'll create User Manual WIKI tomorrow with your video, thanks. 😊

vincentmli · 2022-06-03T14:59:41Z

Hi @cfc4n sorry to bother you again, I added the ecapture binary in netshoot pod like vincentmli/netshoot@72633ba so I can run ecapture from netshoot pod in k8s, the netshoot pod yaml file has privilege permission like below

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
 name: netshoot-ecap
spec:
 hostPID: true
 hostNetwork: true
 nodeSelector:
    dedicated: master
 containers:
   - name: netshoot-ecap
     image: vli39/netshoot:ecap
     command:
       - /bin/sleep
       - "3600"
     volumeMounts:
       - mountPath: /mnt
         name: host-slash
     securityContext:
       privileged: true
 volumes:
   - name: host-slash
     hostPath:
       path: /
       type: ''

you can see I mounted the node root / in netshoot pod /mnt to access the host libssl, but it errors out with "lstat /etc/ld.so.conf: no such file or directory", I wonder why ecapture is trying to check host /etc/ld.so.conf, ecapture is statically build, I suspect the host libssl requiring host /etc/ld.so.conf, but I can't mount host /etc to netshoot pod /etc, wonder if you have better idea :)

eh, eCapture will find pthread.so to capture IP ADDRESS default , and you can set pthread.so argument with pthread falg.

vincentmli · 2022-06-05T04:16:16Z

ecapture is statically built

ldd /usr/local/bin/ecapture
	not a dynamic executable

but are you saying eCapture dynamically linked with pthread.so? how do I specify ecapture with pthread flag? sorry I am not following you :)

but are you saying eCapture dynamically linked with pthread.so? how do I specify ecapture with pthread flag? sorry I am not following you :)

sure, ecapture is statically built . but eCapture hook connect()function to capture IP ADDRESS ,sometimes connect function was define inpthread.so. so need to search the path.

sometimes , defined in /lib64/libc.so.6 , you can use ldd which curl|grep libc.so|awk '{print $3}'|xargs objdump -T |grep connect to confirm it.

[root@VM-16-13-centos bin]# ldd `which curl`|grep libc.so|awk '{print $3}'|xargs objdump -T |grep connect

0000000000112f90  w   DF .text	000000000000009b  GLIBC_2.2.5 connect

@BurlyLuo @vincentmli
It will skip directory search if lib path args was set.
