With this commit all Kore processes (minus the parent) are running
under seccomp.
The worker processes get the bare minimum allowed syscalls while each module
like curl, pgsql, etc will add their own filters to allow what they require.
New API functions:
int kore_seccomp_filter(const char *name, void *filter, size_t len);
Adds a filter into the seccomp system (must be called before
seccomp is enabled).
New helpful macro:
define KORE_SYSCALL_ALLOW(name)
Allow the syscall with a given name, should be used in
a sock_filter data structure.
New hooks:
void kore_seccomp_hook(void);
Called before seccomp is enabled, allows developers to add their
own BPF filters into seccomp.

About
Kore (https://kore.io) is an easy to use web application platform for writing scalable web APIs in C. Its main goals are security, scalability and allowing rapid development and deployment of such APIs.
Because of this Kore is an ideal candidate for building robust, scalable and secure web things.
Key Features
- Supports SNI
- Supports HTTP/1.1
- Websocket support
- Privseps by default
- TLS enabled by default
- Optional background tasks
- Built-in parameter validation
- Optional asynchronous PostgreSQL support
- Optional support for page handlers in Python
- Reload private keys and certificates on-the-fly
- Private keys isolated in separate process (RSA and ECDSA)
- Default sane TLS ciphersuites (PFS in all major browsers)
- Modules can be reloaded on-the-fly, even while serving content
- Event driven (epoll/kqueue) architecture with per CPU worker processes
- Build your web application as a precompiled dynamic library or single binary
And loads more.

Building Kore
Clone this repository or get the latest release at https://kore.io/releases/3.2.0.
Requirements
- openssl (1.0.2, 1.1.0 or 1.1.1) (note: this requirement drops away when building with NOTLS=1 NOHTTP=1) (note: libressl works as a replacement)
Requirement for asynchronous curl (optional)
- libcurl
Requirements for background tasks (optional)
- pthreads
Requirements for pgsql (optional)
- libpq
Requirements for python (optional)
- Python 3.6+
Normal compilation and installation:
$ cd kore
$ make
# make install
If you would like to build a specific flavor, you can enable those by setting a shell environment variable before running make.
- CURL=1 (compiles in asynchronous curl support)
- TASKS=1 (compiles in task support)
- PGSQL=1 (compiles in pgsql support)
- DEBUG=1 (enables use of -d for debug)
- NOTLS=1 (compiles Kore without TLS)
- NOHTTP=1 (compiles Kore without HTTP support)
- NOOPT=1 (disable compiler optimizations)
- JSONRPC=1 (compiles in JSONRPC support)
- PYTHON=1 (compiles in the Python support)
Note that certain build flavors cannot be mixed together and you will just be met with compilation errors.
Example applications
You can find example applications under examples/.
The examples contain a README file with instructions on how to build or use them.
