Hello there!
First of all, I have to apologize for two identical emails as the
beginning of the stream.
The first one was sent (by occasional) from my work email.
I've received notification, from the mail bot, that I should subscribe
to the mail list (for the work email).
After that I've resent the second one.
Let's return to the problem.
I've done a following experiment:
`auditctl -D`
`auditctl -a always,exit -S all`
`strace netcat -v -l -p 4242 | tee strace.log` # the pid of the netcat
was 536
Ctrl+c
`ausearch -p 536 > auditd.pid.536.log`
`grep "syscall=.*traditional" auditd.pid.536.log | awk '{print $4}' |
sort | uniq -c'
The last command prints the following result:
11 syscall=102
1 syscall=11
6 syscall=125
6 syscall=140
6 syscall=174
1 syscall=175
14 syscall=192
33 syscall=195
9 syscall=197
2 syscall=20
1 syscall=243
1 syscall=27
41 syscall=295
14 syscall=3
5 syscall=33
2 syscall=4
5 syscall=45
11 syscall=6
3 syscall=91
So the following syscalls are reported (there are no `socket`, `bind`,
`connect`, `listen`):
3 (read)
4 (write)
6 (close)
11 (execve)
20 (getpid)
27 (alarm)
33 (access)
45 (brk)
91 (munmap)
102 (socketcall)
On old 386 kernels, they use socketcall as the networking API. Glibc under
the hood sets arg0 to a number which represents the actual functionality to
call and calls socketcall. You could say it multiplexes the network API.
Somewhere along the way, they decided to modernize and make actual calls for
each network function. So, if you have an audit library that is much newer
than the kernel, it will assume you are using the updated API rather than the
socketcall based API. In this case, you have an old glibc which still uses
socketcall.
So, if you wanted to audit socket, bind, connect, and listen you would use:
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S socketcall -F arg0=1 -F key=socket
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S socketcall -F arg0=2 -F key=bind
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S socketcall -F arg0=3 -F key=connect
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S socketcall -F arg0=4 -F key=listen
A listing of the numbers to use can be found at:
/usr/include/linux/net.h
Hope this helps...

125 (mprotect)
140 (_llseek)
174 (rt_sigaction)
175 (rt_sigprocmask)
192 (mmap2)
195 (stat64)
197 (fstat64)
243 (set_thread_area)
295 (openat)
But strace's log shows that `socket`, `bind`, `connect` and `listen`
were called:
execve("/usr/bin/netcat", ["netcat", "-v",
"-l", "-p", "4242"],
0xbf9f8f00 /* 22 vars */) = 0
-- line skipped --
socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC|SOCK_NONBLOCK, 0) = 3
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/var/run/nscd/socket"},
110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
close(3) = 0
-- line skipped --
socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC|SOCK_NONBLOCK, 0) = 3
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/var/run/nscd/socket"},
110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
close(3) = 0
-- line skipped --
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEPORT, [1], 4) = 0
bind(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(4242),
sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0
listen(3, 1) = 0
getsockname(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(4242),
sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, [16]) = 0
-- line skipped --
Please, give me a clue! How could it be?
Best regards
