Seccomp Tools : Provide Powerful Tools For Seccomp Analysis

Seccomp provide powerful tools for seccomp analysis. This project is targeted to (but not limited to) analyze seccomp sandbox in CTF pwn challenges. Some features might be CTF-specific, but still useful for analyzing seccomp in real-case.

Features

  • Dump – Automatically dumps seccomp-bpf from execution file(s).
  • Disasm – Converts bpf to human readable format.
    • Simple decompile.
    • Display syscall names and arguments when possible.
    • Colorful!
  • Asm – Write seccomp rules is so easy!
  • Emu – Emulates seccomp rules.
  • Supports multi-architectures.

Installation

Available on RubyGems.org!

$ gem install seccomp-tools

If you failed when compiling, try:

sudo apt install gcc ruby-dev

and install seccomp-tools again.

Command Line Interface

$ seccomp-tools –help
==>Usage: seccomp-tools [–version] [–help] []

==>List of commands:
# asm Seccomp bpf assembler.
# disasm Disassemble seccomp bpf.
# dump Automatically dump seccomp bpf from execution file(s).
# emu Emulate seccomp rules.
# See ‘seccomp-tools –help’ to read about a specific subcommand.

==>$ seccomp-tools dump –help
# dump – Automatically dump seccomp bpf from execution file(s).
==>Usage: seccomp-tools dump [exec] [options]
# -c, –sh-exec Executes the given command (via sh).
# Use this option if want to pass arguments or do pipe things to the execution file.
# e.g. use -c "./bin > /dev/null" to dump seccomp without being mixed with stdout.
# -f, –format FORMAT Output format. FORMAT can only be one of Default: disasm
# -l, –limit LIMIT Limit the number of calling “prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP)”.
# The target process will be killed whenever its calling times reaches LIMIT.
# Default: 1
-o, –output FILE Output result into FILE instead of stdout.
# If multiple seccomp syscalls have been invoked (see –limit),
# results will be written to FILE, FILE_1, FILE_2.. etc.
# For example, “–output out.bpf” and the output files are out.bpf, out_1.bpf, …

Dump

Dumps the seccomp bpf from an execution file. This work is done by the ptrace syscall.

NOTICE: beware of the execution file will be executed.
