How eBPF Empowers Developers to Observe Inside the Linux Kernel in a Safe and Unintrusive Way

▤ Summary

This article explains how eBPF gives developers safe, low-level access to the Linux kernel without the risks of traditional kernel modules. It shows how teams use eBPF for observability, networking, and security enforcement across syscalls, filesystems, drivers, and userland applications. It also highlights Tetragon as a practical example of real-time auditing and preemptive policy enforcement against risky behavior and CVEs. The piece closes by emphasizing the growing cross-platform support for Windows and the importance of evaluating open-source eBPF projects carefully.
