domain: falco.org · 5 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Install Falco with the eBPF probe driver by setting `driver.kind: ebpf` in the Falco Helm chart values
  2. Verify the eBPF probe loads successfully by checking Falco pod logs for `eBPF probe successfully loaded`
  3. Enable relevant rule sets for container runtime threats including `write_below_etc`, `spawned_process_in_container`, and network-based rules
  4. Configure `json_output: true` and route alerts to Falcosidekick for enrichment and forwarding
  5. Test detection by running a privileged container that touches `/etc` or spawns an interactive shell, and confirm an alert fires
