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.
- 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.
Available on RubyGems.org!

If you failed when compiling, try:
sudo apt install gcc ruby-dev

$ seccomp-tools --help
# Usage: seccomp-tools [--version] [--help] <command> [<options>]
#
# 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 <command> --help' to read about a specific subcommand.
$ seccomp-tools dump --help
# dump - Automatically dump seccomp bpf from execution file(s).
# NOTE : This function is only available on Linux.
#
# Usage: seccomp-tools dump [exec] [options]
# -c, --sh-exec <command> 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 <disasm|raw|inspect>.
# 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, ...
# -p, --pid PID Dump installed seccomp filters of the existing process.
# You must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN (e.g. be root) in order to use this option.
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.

Assembles the seccomp rules into raw bytes. It's very useful when one wants to write custom seccomp rules.
Supports labels for jumping and uses syscall names directly. See examples below.
$ seccomp-tools asm
# asm - Seccomp bpf assembler.
#
# Usage: seccomp-tools asm IN_FILE [options]
# -o, --output FILE Output result into FILE instead of stdout.
# -f, --format FORMAT Output format. FORMAT can only be one of <inspect|raw|c_array|c_source|assembly>.
# Default: inspect
# -a, --arch ARCH Specify architecture.
# Supported architectures are <aarch64|amd64|i386|s390x>.
# Default: amd64
# Input file for asm
$ cat spec/data/libseccomp.asm
# # check if arch is X86_64
# A = arch
# A == ARCH_X86_64 ? next : dead

I recommend to use rbenv for your Ruby environment.
- Install bundler
$ gem install bundler
- Clone the source
$ git clone https://github.com/david942j/seccomp-tools && cd seccomp-tools
- Install dependencies
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake
