Analyzing HTTP/HTTPS Traffic with Stratoshark
Understanding System Calls: The Key to Cloud-Native Security and Observability
In the rapidly evolving world of cloud-native technologies, understanding the intricacies of system calls is critical. System calls are the fundamental interface between an application and the operating system, dictating how processes interact with system resources. This understanding underpins crucial areas like security, observability, and performance tuning.
This repository introduces Stratoshark, a powerful tool for analyzing HTTP/HTTPS traffic (amongst a lot of other use-cases) at the system call level. By leveraging Sysdig and Stratoshark, we explore how system calls such as connect, sendto, recvfrom, read, and write operate during network communication. The ability to analyze these low-level interactions provides a transparent view into application behavior, helping developers, security practitioners, and system administrators detect anomalies, optimize performance, and ensure secure communications in cloud-native environments.
Whether you’re working on improving cloud-native security, debugging complex systems, or enhancing observability, this repository equips you with practical tools and techniques to deepen your understanding of system calls and their impact on your applications. Dive in and unlock new possibilities in system-level analysis!
