DotnetEbpf - Write Linux eBPF kernel applications in C#

In plain words

DotnetEbpf is a tool that enables developers to write Linux eBPF kernel applications in C# instead of C. It works by transpiling C# code to C, which is then compiled into eBPF bytecode. The tool is designed for systems programmers and embedded developers who prefer C#'s syntax and features. It supports unit testing of eBPF functions and offers cleaner syntax compared to traditional C development, though with some kernel-level constraints.

Prototype for creating Linux kernel eBPF applications using C#. While the linux kernel's eBPF virtual machine does not natively support MSIL bytecode generated by the C# compiler, we can transpile the MSIL bytecode into C and then use native toolchains to compile that C into a valid Linux eBPF application that runs inside the kernel. This project provides a .net API for common eBPF functions. C# applications that are written against these APIs are then able to utilize the .net to c transpiler to convert them into C code. Once in C, native Linux eBPF compilers can be used to generate the resulting eBPF application. Since Linux eBPF programs do not manual allow dynamic memory allocations,…from github.com

In the maker’s words, at launch

I've been working for a good 9 months now writing a .net to C transpiler (https://github.com/KallDrexx/dntc) as a "I wonder if I can" type of project (with the intention of eventually being able to do embedded development in C# instead of C). Along the way I was trying to find good milestones to…

  Wachy – A UI for eBPF-based performance debugging2022 · rubrikinc.github.io · ▲116

  eBPF is an amazing technology that allows safely running user-supplied functions at pretty much arbitrary probe points in a kernel/user space context. Much has been written about how amazing this feature is for kernel observability. But as someone who writes user space code, what I find even more amazing is the support for tracing arbitrary user space programs, with no code changes and low overhead. However, doing in-depth analysis can get complicated and time-consuming. My goal with wachy was to make this debugging significantly easier/faster to use, by displaying traces in a TUI…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  I'm an airline pilot – I built interactive graphs/globes of my flights▲1,539

  Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

  Workout.cool – Open-source fitness coaching platform▲827

  I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
