Celebrating Our Open Source Contributions (2021)

eBPF Tools and Libraries

Trail of Bits has developed a collection of related libraries and resources that enable efficient monitoring of process and network events, function tracing, parsing of kernel debug symbols, and the generation and usage of eBPF code.

Linuxevents is a demonstration of how eBPF can monitor events on Linux platforms without the need for accurate kernel headers or other external dependencies. No more shipping kernel headers, multiple copies of pre-compiled eBPF bytecode, or dependencies on BCC!

The ebpfpub library allows for monitoring system calls and library calls across multiple Linux kernel versions while relying on minimal external run-time dependencies. It differs from linuxevents in that ebpfpub can target older Linux kernel versions.

The ebpf-common library is a set of utilities that assist with generating, loading and using eBPF code. It is the common substrate that underpins all of our eBPF-related tooling. Use epbf-common to create your own eBPF-based tools!

The btfparse library allows developers to easily read Linux kernel BTF data and generate code based on the parsed function and data structure definitions. The library comes with a tool, called btf-dump, that both serves as an example of using btfparse and as a standalone tool that can dump BTF data present in a Linux kernel image.

The ebpfault tool is a system-wide fault injector that does not require dangerous kernel drivers that may crash the system. It can start a specific program, target running processes, or target all processes except those on a specific list.

The Linux kernel "verifies" eBPF programs at load time and rejects any that it deems unsafe. Bundling eBPF bytecode is a CI / CD nightmare, because every kernel’s verification is ever so slightly different. Ebpf-verifier is a research prototype that aims to eliminate that nightmare by executing the eBPF verifier outside of the running kernel and opens the door to testing of eBPF programs across different kernel versions.

Rust Libraries and Utilities

Our Rust libraries and utilities are designed to enhance various aspects of software development and testing. These tools offer functionalities like dynamic linting, innovative testing strategies, interaction with Windows systems, identification of unsafe code segments, fuzz testing automation, and advanced cryptographic proofs.

cargo-unmaintained automatically identifies unmaintained packages in Rust projects, saving users from having to identify them manually.

Dylint is a Rust linting tool, similar to Clippy. But whereas Clippy runs a predetermined, static set of lints, Dylint runs lints from user-specified, dynamic libraries. Thus, Dylint allows developers to maintain their own personal lint collections.

Necessist runs tests with statements and method calls removed to help identify broken tests. Conventional mutation testing tries to identify gaps in test coverage, whereas Necessist tries to identify bugs in existing tests.

Siderophile finds the "most unsafe" functions in your Rust codebase, so you can fuzz them or refactor them out entirely. It checks the callgraph of each function in the codebase, estimates how many unsafe expressions are called in an evaluation of that function, then produces a list sorted by this value.

test-fuzz is a convenient front end for afl.rs. In more concrete terms, test-fuzz is a collection of Rust macros and a Cargo subcommand that automate certain fuzzing-related tasks, most notably, generating a fuzzing corpus and implementing a fuzzing harness.

weggli-native is a "native" C API for Google's weggli; it exposes a subset of weggli's public Rust API to C and C++ consumers.

Reverie is an implementation (prover and verifier) of the MPC-in-the-head NIZKPoK outlined in Improved Non-Interactive Zero Knowledge with Applications to Post-Quantum Signatures.

AppJailLauncher-rs is akin to a simple version of xinetd for Windows but with sandboxing enabled for the spawned child processes. The sandboxing is accomplished via AppContainers and is a Rust rewrite of an earlier version in C.

mcircuit is a Rust library of types for working with A library of types for working with boolean & arithmetic circuits.

Go Libraries and Utilities

The collection of libraries and utilities focuses on enhancing the development and testing processes in Go programming. They provide a range of functionalities, from generating random values for fuzz testing and detecting improper usage patterns, to offering a platform for understanding and remedying common vulnerabilities, as well as verifying assumptions about mutex locking mechanisms in Go applications.

go-fuzz-utils is a helper package for use with go-fuzz or other fuzzing utilities. It provides a simple interface to produce random values for various data types and can recursively populate complex structures from raw fuzz data generated by go-fuzz.

On-Edge is a library for detecting certain improper uses of the Defer, Panic, and Recover pattern in Go programs. OnEdge is lightweight in that it is easy to incorporate into your project and tries to stay out of your way as much as possible.

Not Go-ing Anywhere is a set of vulnerable Golang programs meant to show common vulnerabilities and provide a test bed for users to find, fix, and remediate Golang vulnerabilities.

go-mutex-asserts is a small library that checks if Go mutexes are locked. It can be used to verify invariants/assumptions about (un)locking mutexes within certain functions.

Binary Decompilation and Lifting

These tools focus on code translation, decompilation, and reverse engineering. They encompass technologies for translating machine code into LLVM bitcode, enhancing the quality of decompiled code, providing snapshot-based process emulation, and offering a framework for instrumenting and enhancing build tools and systems in various programming environments.

Remill is a static binary translator that translates machine code instructions into LLVM bitcode. It translates AArch64 (64-bit ARMv8), SPARC32 (SPARCv8), SPARC64 (SPARCv9), x86 and amd64 machine code (including AVX and AVX512) into LLVM bitcode. Remill focuses on accurately lifting instructions. It is meant to be used as a library for other tools (like McSema).

Anvill implements simple machine code lifting primitives using Remill to produce high quality bitcode, which can then be further decompiled to C (via Clang ASTs) using Rellic. We define "high quality bitcode" as being similar in form to what the Clang compiler would produce if it were executed on a semantically equivalent C function.

VMill is a snapshot-based process emulator that uses remill to lift machine code to LLVM bitcode, and enables that bitcode to be instrumented, compiled to machine code and executed.

Codex Decompiler is proof-of-concept Ghidra plugin that utilizes OpenAI's language models to improve the decompilation and reverse engineering experience.

We also provide a CMake-based build project for Ghidra’s Sleigh so that it can be built and packaged as a standalone library and be reused in projects other than Ghidra.

blight is a framework for wrapping and instrumenting build tools and build systems. It contains: A collection of high-fidelity models for various common build tools (e.g. the C and C++ compilers, the standard linker, the preprocessor, etc.); A variety of "actions" that can be run on each build tool or specific classes of tools (e.g. "whenever the build system invokes $CC, add this flag") and Command-line wrappers (blight-env and blight-exec) for instrumenting builds.

Symbolic Execution

These tools leverage symbolic execution for security and analysis, particularly for smart contracts, binaries, and WebAssembly programs.

Manticore is a symbolic execution tool for the analysis of smart contracts, binaries and WebAssembly programs. Manticore is designed for extensibility and simplicity, and includes a rich API for creating custom tools using its analysis engine.

sandshrew is a prototype concolic unit testing tool for cryptographic verification. It harnesses the Manticore API in order to perform unconstrained concolic execution on C cryptographic primitives.

Maat is a dynamic symbolic execution and binary analysis framework. It provides various functionalities such as symbolic execution, taint analysis, constraint solving, binary loading, environment simulation, and leverages Ghidra's sleigh library for assembly lifting.

C++ Tools and Libraries

Our C++ tools and libraries streamline various aspects of C++ development at Trail of Bits. These include centralized management of dependencies, bridging gaps between different programming frameworks, easy integration with SQLite, abstracting compiler toolchains, program analysis and instrumentation, automatic code rewriting for constexpr contexts, and dynamic data race detection.

cxx-common is a set of libraries used to build Trail of Bits' C++-based projects. Many of our tools utilize the same dependencies and it is easier to manage them in one place.

gap is a utility library to bridge the LLVM and MLIR gap -- that is, it provides tools, utilities, and helper functions to make it easier to use LLVM and MLIR together.

SQLiteWrapper is an easy-to-use, lightweight and concurrency-friendly SQLite wrapper written in C++17.

Using the MLIR infrastructure, VAST provides a toolset to represent C/C++ program at various stages of the compilation and to transform the representation to the best-fit program abstraction.

constexpr-everything is a libclang based project to automatically rewrite as much code as possible to be evaluated in constexpr contexts.

RaceSanitizer RaceSanitizer (RSan) is dynamic data race detector. It uses a modified version of the DataCollider algorithm insofar as it pauses one thread and tries to "wait out" a data race.

Cryptography

Our cryptography tools focus on advancing cryptographic and privacy-preserving technologies in various programming and computation contexts.

MPC-learning is a Python library for performing multi-party computation on machine learning applications. This library implements the a 3-party computation protocol. For now, a "dealer" is required to distribute shares of inputs, and the protocol can only be run locally.

Indurative lets you easily build authenticated data structures from many Haskell containers. You can delegate custody to a third party using an authenticated data structure, then cryptographically verify all reads and writes performed by that third party. Certificate and binary transparency are example use cases enabled by authenticated data structures that you can build with Indurative. This is new, untested cryptographic code. Standard warnings apply.

ZKDocs provides comprehensive, detailed, and interactive documentation on zero-knowledge proof systems and related primitives.

Sholva is a tool for generating zero knowledge proofs of program execution, composed of mttn: an instruction-resolution program tracer and tiny86: a Verilog and Clash trace verifier circuit.

Circomspect is a static analyzer and linter for the Circom programming language. The codebase borrows heavily from the Rust Circom compiler built by iden3. Circomspect currently implements a number of analysis passes which can identify potential issues in Circom circuits. It is our goal to continue to add new analysis passes to be able to detect more issues in the future.

Experimental Tools

Our experimental tools are research prototypes that explore new ideas and approaches to solving security problems. They are not production-ready, but we hope they will inspire others to build on our work.

Magnifier is an experimental reveree engineering user interface. Magnifier asks, “What if, as an alternative to taking handwritten notes, reverse engineering researchers could interactively reshape a decompiled program to reflect what they would normally record?” With Magnifier, the decompiled C code isn't the end—it's the beginning.

Umberto is a library designed for mutating generic structured data (e.g., JSON, XML, X.509) and a command line application wrapping this functionality. It can apply a variety of mutations, synthesize totally new values, and apply existing mutators (e.g. Radamsa) to structure components. If you're trying to perform grammar-based fuzzing, you might find it very useful.

Honeybee is a very fast Intel Processor Trace capture and decoding suite which enables previously unattainable performance in source and blackbox fuzzing alike by taking advantage of a custom ahead-of-time analysis cache to accelerate decoding multiple traces.

tsc_freq_khz is a driver that exports the Linux kernel's tsc_khz variable via sysfs (in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/tsc_freq_khz) and enabled profiling and benchmarking tools to work in virtualized environments. It also makes these tools more accurate on systems where the time stamp counter is independent from clock speed, like newer Intel processors. Several open source projects (X-Ray, Abseil) already check for this sysfs file, but until now it was only available in Google's production kernels. This driver enables it for everyone.

Sinter is a 100% user-mode endpoint security agent for macOS 10.15 and above, written in Swift. Sinter uses the user-mode EndpointSecurity API to subscribe to and receive authorization callbacks from the macOS kernel, for a set of security-relevant event types. The current version of Sinter supports allowing/denying process executions; in future versions we intend to support other types of events such as file, socket, and kernel events.

Binrec dynamically lifts binary executables to LLVM IR, where they can be optimized, hardened, or transformed and recompiled back to binaries. It is based on S2E. For a full description of the framework, see the original research paper. This is a version modified by Trail of Bits to support more recent versions of LLVM and to support more kinds of targets.

Microx is a single-instruction "micro execution" framework. Microx enables a program to safely execute an arbitrary x86 or x86-64 instruction. Microx does not take over or require a process context in order to execute an instruction. It is easily embedded within other programs, as exampled by the Python bindings.

Anselm lets you to describe and detect patterns of bad behavior in function calls. Its primary advantage over static analysis is that it can operate on any programming language that compiles to LLVM intermediate representation (IR), or any compiled code that can be lifted back to LLVM's intermediate representation.

essence aims to generate stand-alone executables for functions residing in LLVM bitcode modules. Functions can be specified by name and convenient JSON input templates will be generated in which their arguments (including globals) can be specified. The project is sub-divided into two components: essence is the python tool which is meant for users and handles all of the end-to-end functionality, and handsanitizer is the C++ component that interacts directly with the LLVM bitcode modules.

Networking

These tools focus on network security and management.

onesixtyone takes a different approach to SNMP scanning. It takes advantage of the fact that SNMP is a connectionless protocol and sends all SNMP requests as fast as it can. Then the scanner waits for responses to come back and logs them, in a fashion similar to Nmap ping sweeps.

eatmynetwork is a small script for running programs with (minimal) network sandboxing.

Fuzzing

The tools presented are designed to enhance the security and reliability of software through various advanced fuzzing techniques. They range from snapshot fuzzers and binary translators for specific emulation tasks, to frameworks and platforms that make fuzzing more accessible to developers, tools for fault injections in kernels, and differential fuzzers for discovering discrepancies in decoders.

KRF is a KRF is a Kernelspace Randomized Faulter that currently supports the Linux and FreeBSD kernels. KRF can be used to implement fault injections, a software testing technique that involves inducing failures ("faults") in the functions called by a program. If the callee has failed to perform proper error checking and handling, these faults can result in unreliable application behavior or exploitable vulnerabilities.

DeepState is a framework that provides C and C++ developers with a common interface to various symbolic execution and fuzzing engines. Users can write one test harness using a Google Test-like API, then execute it using multiple backends without having to learn the complexities of the underlying engines. It supports writing unit tests and API sequence tests, as well as automatic test generation. Read more about the goals and design of DeepState in our paper.

ProtoFuzz ProtoFuzz is a generic fuzzer for Google’s Protocol Buffers format. Instead of defining a new fuzzer generator for custom binary formats, protofuzz automatically creates a fuzzer based on the same format definition that programs use.

Challenges & Data Sets

Different challenges and data sets that can be used to evaluate and test various security tools and techniques.

DARPA CGC Challenge Binaries ported to run on Linux, MacOS, and Windows. The Challenge Binaries were originally developed for DECREE -- a custom Linux-derived operating system that has no signals, no shared memory, no threads, no standard libc runtime, and only seven system calls -- making them incompatible with most existing analysis tools. We modified the challenges to work by replacing the build system and re-implementing CGC system calls via standard libc functionality and native operating system semantics.

Graphtage is a command-line utility and underlying library for semantically comparing and merging tree-like structures, such as JSON, XML, HTML, YAML, plist, and CSS files. Its name is a portmanteau of “graph” and “graftage”—the latter being the horticultural practice of joining two trees together such that they grow as one.

Polyfile is a utility to identify and map the semantic structure of files, including polyglots, chimeras, and schizophrenic files. It can be used in conjunction with its sister tool PolyTracker for Automated Lexical Annotation and Navigation of Parsers, a backronym devised solely for the purpose of collectively referring to the tools as The ALAN Parsers Project.

Polytracker PolyTracker is a general purpose tool for efficiently performing data-flow and control-flow analysis of programs. PolyTracker is an LLVM pass that instruments programs to track which bytes of an input file are operated on by which functions. It outputs a database containing the data-flow information, as well as a runtime trace.
