0:00eBPF rootkit code circulates on underground forums.

0:05Flare found tutorials and reposted code.

0:08Families include BPFDoor and LinkPro.

0:12Defenders reproduce a known Jenkins flaw in a lab.

0:15LinkPro used that flaw.

0:17Without a kernel module, routine checks can miss them.

0:20Defenders audit eBPF programs now.

0:26No threat actor: this was defensive research.
