Build Results

eBPF Programs ✅

File: ebpf/network_monitor.bpf.o
Size: 13 KB
Type: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, eBPF

Kernel Hooks:

Rust Daemon ✅

File: daemon/target/release/exit-gate-daemon
Size: 6.0 MB (stripped, optimized with LTO)
Build: Release mode with full optimizations

Modules:

  • Rule engine (priority-based matching)
  • SQLite database (persistent rules)
  • Unix socket IPC server
  • Process detection (/proc)
  • Async I/O (Tokio)

Electron Application ✅

Directory: electron/dist/
Bundle: 800 KB minified JavaScript
Framework: React 18 + TypeScript + Material-UI

Components:

  • Connection prompt dialogs
  • Rules management interface
  • Statistics dashboard with charts
  • Connection history viewer

Build Time: ~90 seconds

  • eBPF compilation: 2s
  • Rust daemon: 45s
  • Electron bundle: 40s

Technologies Used

Systems Programming:

  • eBPF for kernel-level network monitoring
  • Rust for memory-safe daemon
  • procfs for process information

Backend:

  • Tokio async runtime
  • SQLite database
  • Unix domain sockets

Frontend:

  • React with TypeScript
  • Material-UI components
  • Recharts for visualization

Fixes Applied

eBPF Compilation Issues → FIXED ✅

  • ❌ Missing libbpf headers
  • ✅ Self-contained BPF helpers
  • ✅ Correct PT_REGS register names (rdi, rsi, rax)
  • ✅ Architecture detection in Makefile

Rust Daemon Issues → FIXED ✅

  • ❌ libbpf-cargo build failure
  • ✅ Removed unnecessary build dependencies
  • ✅ Fixed procfs v0.16 API changes
  • ✅ Added missing sqlx::Row import

TypeScript Issues → FIXED ✅

  • ❌ Type assertion errors
  • ✅ Proper type casting with 'unknown'
  • ✅ Removed unused imports
  • ✅ Fixed IPC handler warnings

Installation Ready

# Install system-wide
sudo ./install.sh

# Start daemon
sudo systemctl start exit-gate
sudo systemctl enable exit-gate

# Launch GUI
cd electron && npm start

Or build package:

cd electron
npm run package:linux
# Creates .AppImage and .deb packages

Testing the Build

1. Test Daemon

# Run in foreground
sudo daemon/target/release/exit-gate-daemon --foreground

# Check logs
sudo journalctl -u exit-gate -f

2. Test GUI

cd electron
npm start
# Opens on http://localhost:3000

3. Generate Events

# In another terminal
curl https://example.com
ping 8.8.8.8
# Should trigger connection prompts in GUI
