It is a tool used to crawl supported kernels by multiple distros, and generate a driverkit-like config json.
Output json can be found, for each supported architecture, on gh pages: https://falcosecurity.github.io/kernel-crawler/:
A weekly github action workflow will open a PR on this repo to update the json.
As soon as the PR is merged and the json updated, a prow job will create a PR on test-infra to generate the new Driverkit configs from the updated json.

To better suit the CI usage, a Github composite action has been developed.
Therefore, running kernel-crawler in your Github workflow is as easy as adding this step:
- name: Crawl kernels
uses: falcosecurity/kernel-crawler@main
with:
# Desired architecture. Either x86_64 or aarch64.
# Default: 'x86_64'.
arch: 'aarch64'
# Desired distro.
# Refer to crawl command helper message (above) to check supported distros.
# Default: '*'.
distro: 'ubuntu'
NOTE: Since we don't use annotated tags, one cannot use eg: falcosecurity/kernel-crawler@v0, but only either exact tag name, branch name or commit hash.
A docker image is provided for releases, by a GitHub Actions workflow: falcosecurity/kernel-crawler:latest
.
You can also build it yourself, by issuing:
docker build -t falcosecurity/kernel_crawler -f docker/Dockerfile .
from project root.
To install the project, a simple pip3 install .
from project root is enough.
Crawl amazonlinux2 kernels:
kernel-crawler crawl --distro=AmazonLinux2
Crawl all supported distros kernels:
kernel-crawler crawl --distro=*
:exclamation: Note: Passing --image argument is supported with --distro=* |

Crawl Redhat kernels (specific to the container supplied), with no-formatted output:
kernel-crawler crawl --distro=Redhat --image=redhat/ubi8:registered
