memflow_scan/memflow_lib/memflow-qemu-procfs

memflow-qemu-procfs

This connector implements an interface for Qemu via the Process Filesystem on Linux.

Compilation

Installing the library

The ./install.sh script will just compile and install the plugin. The connector will be installed to ~/.local/lib/memflow by default. Additionally the --system flag can be specified which will install the connector in /usr/lib/memflow as well.

Building the stand-alone connector for dynamic loading

The stand-alone connector of this library is feature-gated behind the inventory feature. To compile a dynamic library for use with the connector inventory use the following command:

cargo build --release --all-features

Using the crate in a rust project

To use the connector in a rust project just include it in your Cargo.toml

memflow-qemu-procfs = "0.1"

Make sure to not enable the inventory feature when importing multiple connectors in a rust project without using the memflow connector inventory. This might cause duplicated exports being generated in your project.

Arguments

• name - the name of the virtual machine (default argument, optional)

Permissions

The qemu_procfs connector requires access to the qemu process via the linux procfs. This means any process which loads this connector requires to have at least ptrace permissions set.

To set ptrace permissions on a binary simply use:

sudo setcap 'CAP_SYS_PTRACE=ep' [filename]

Alternatively you can just run the binary via sudo.
