When you want to intercept -a user application you dynamically link the shared library to the application during runtime. When the application starts, the -intercept's global constructor is called which sets up a hidden pipe which is used to communicate remote procedure calls (RPC) to the host Netcon service running in the background. - -When an RPC for a socket() is received by the Netcon service from the intercepted application, the Netcon service will ask the lwIP stack for a new PCB structure (used to represent a connection), if the system permits its allocation, it will be passed to Netcon where a PCB/socket table entry will be created. The table is used for mapping [callbacks from lwIP] and [RPCs from the intercept] to the correct connections. - -Upon the first call to a intercept-overriden system call, a Unix-domain socket is opened between the Netcon service and the application's intercept. This socket provides us the ability to pass file descriptors of newly-created socketpairs to the intercept (used as the read/write buffer). More specifically, after the socketpair creation, one end is kept in a table entry in Netcon and one end is sent to the intercept. - - -### Building from Source (and Installing) - -Build zerotier-intercept library: - - make -f make-intercept.mk - -Install: - - make -f make-intercept.mk install - -Build LWIP library: - - make -f make-liblwip.mk - -Run automated tests (from netcon/docker-test/ directory): - - ./build.sh - ./test.sh - - - - -### Running - -To intercept a specific application (requires an already running instance of Zerotier-One with Network Containers enabled): - - zerotier-intercept my_app - - -### Compatibility - -Network Containers have been tested with the following: - - sshd [ WORKS as of 20151112] - ssh [ WORKS as of 20151112] - sftp [ WORKS as of 20151022] - curl [ WORKS as of 20151021] - apache (debug mode) [ WORKS as of 20150810] - apache (prefork MPM) [ WORKS as of 20151123] (2.4.6-31.x86-64 on Centos 7), (2.4.16-1.x84-64 on F22), (2.4.17-3.x86-64 on F22) - nginx [ WORKS as of 20151123] Broken on Centos 7, unreliable on Fedora 23 - nodejs [ WORKS as of 20151123] - java [ WORKS as of 20151010] - MongoDB [ WORKS as of 20151028] - Redis-server [ WORKS as of 20151123] - -Future: - - GET many different files via HTTP (web stress) - LARGE continuous transfer (e.g. /dev/urandom all night) - Open and close many TCP connections constantly - Simulate packet loss (can be done with iptables) - Many parallel TCP transfers - Multithreaded software (e.g. apache in thread mode) - UDP support - - - -### Extended Version Notes - -20151028 Added MongoDB support: - - - Added logic (RPC_MAP_REQ) to check whether a given AF_LOCAL socket is mapped to anything - inside the service instance. - - -20151027 Added Redis-server support: - - - Added extra logic to detect socket re-issuing and consequent service-side double mapping. - Redis appears to try to set its initial listen socket to IPV6 only, this currently fails.
