Snooping on libpam (openssh auth, passwd) with Golang and eBPF
In the vast and complex landscape of software security, safeguarding sensitive information remains a paramount concern for developers and security professionals alike. Among the myriad of challenges, securely managing and protecting credentials during authentication processes stands out as a critical vulnerability point. Traditional security measures often fall short in providing real-time insights into how credentials are handled and potentially exposed within applications, especially those relying on widely used authentication frameworks like PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules).
