Smashing eBPF Buffer Leaks: Achieving Zero-Drop Telemetry with Python & Google AI Studio

Summer Bug Smash: Clear the Lineup 🐛🛹

This is a submission for DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Clear the Lineup powered by Sentry.

Project Overview

VirgilFlow is a lightweight, low-overhead system infrastructure defense tool written in Python and eBPF (using bcc / libbpf). It monitors kernel-level ring buffers to trace agent-to-agent IPC communications, detecting unauthorized syscall hijacking or abnormal telemetry streams across autonomous infrastructure nodes in real-time.
