Live, system-wide USB transfer sniffer in eBPF

Live, system-wide USB transfer sniffer in eBPF — decodes USB traffic inline (control SETUP, SCSI, HID) from two universal URB hooks. No usbmon, no hardware sniffer. CO-RE portable. - yeet-src/usbsnoop

What it does

A real-time, colorized feed of USB traffic system-wide — built on the two universal URB chokepoints every host-controller driver funnels through, so it works on xHCI/EHCI/OHCI/dwc alike with no per-controller tracepoints and no usbmon . Fully CO-RE portable. An lru_hash keyed by the URB pointer stitches the two together: submit stamps a start time, completion reads it back for the submit→complete latency, then deletes it. This mirrors httpbody 's request/response pairing — SUBMIT is the "request" (what the host sends), COMPLETE the "response" (what the device returns). Control transfers get their 8-byte SETUP packet decoded into the standard request name ( GET_DESCRIPTOR , SET_CONFIGURATION…from github.com

    Hi HN! I built Bluetooth USB Peripheral Relay, a tool that lets Bluetooth devices (like keyboards and mice) connect to USB-only hosts using a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Why? My friend needed a way to use his Bluetooth mouse and keyboard on a PC with Bluetooth disabled due to policy restrictions. This tool acts as a bridge, relaying Bluetooth input over USB. It also lets you use Bluetooth peripherals with older devices that only support USB input. Tech: Written in Go, optimized for Raspberry Pi Zero W. I love HN’s community and often lurk here—I’m hoping this project is useful or at least sparks…

  • Trayce – Network tab for Docker containers2024 · trayce.dev · ▲138

    Trayce (https://github.com/evanrolfe/trayce_gui) is an open source desktop application which monitors HTTP(S) traffic to Docker containers on your machine. It uses EBPF to achieve zero-configuration sniffing of TLS-encrypted traffic. As a backend developer I wanted something which was similar to Wireshark or the Chrome network tab, but which intercepted requests & responses to my containers for debugging in a local dev environment. Wireshark is a great tool but it seems more geared towards lower level networking tasks. When I'm developing APIs or microservices I dont care…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
