Requirements

• Linux
• Kernel version >= 4.4, check your by command: uname -r
• python2 or python3

Installation

Step 1: Install bcc-tools

• bcc-tools >= 0.10.0 (depends on Kernel version, see https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/releases)
  • Install instruction (non-Debian 10)
  • Install instruction (Debian 10)
  • You can check the current version via python -c 'import bcc; print(bcc.__version__);'

Usage

Automatically

Only by SQProxy

Non-root running

bcc-tools can't be used w/o root, see https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/issues/1166

But you can use this snippet to restrict usage only to specified user/group:

TL;DR: move python redirect.py $@ to command and add permissions in /etc/sudoers

1. Copy content of this folder to /usr/src/sqredirect

2. Create file in /usr/local/bin/sqredirect with content:

   #!/bin/bash
   
   cd /usr/src/sqredirect
   exec python2 /usr/src/sqredirect/redirect.py $@
   

3. chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sqredirect

4. Create group network and add user to group

   addgroup network
   usermod -aG network <user-which-should-it-run>
   

5. Allow run sqredirect command w/o root privileges

   echo "%network ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/sqredirect" > /etc/sudoers.d/network
