QTap

See Through Encryption with eBPF

The Challenge

The Modern Cloud is Encrypted & Distributed, creating a Critical Visibility Gap

Encryption makes it impossible to see what's happening between your applications, services, and AI agents and the external APIs, services, and vendors they communicate with.

The Solution

Deploy a lightweight eBPF agent that introspects calls before encryption occurs

Unlike traditional proxies Qtap does not sit in the network path or require certificate management! This provides detailed visibility into requests and responses without affecting the encryption process, and requires zero configuration changes to applications or network.

Key Benefits

No Proxy Required

Works directly with your existing infrastructure

No Code Changes

Zero application modifications needed

Use Existing Pipeline

Integrates seamlessly with current tools

Extremely Performant

Minimal performance impact, in-kernel

Non-Obtrusive

Doesn't interfere with normal operations

No Certificate Management

Eliminates complex SSL/TLS configuration

How It Works

  1. Install QTap eBPF Agent
    QTap sees the pre-encryption request and post-encryption responses via eBPF hooks

  2. Detect Errors / Custom Conditions
    Configure Rulekit to look for errors or specific conditions you might want to record

  3. Persist the Payloads / Data
    Upload payload data to S3 compatible endpoint

  4. Submit Log Entry
    Generate log entry with all the context & links to the persisted payloads

Use Cases

API Monitoring

Monitor all external API calls and responses

Error Detection

Automatically capture failed requests with full context

Security Auditing

Track all encrypted communications for compliance

Performance Analysis

Analyze encrypted traffic patterns without decryption

Debugging

Troubleshoot issues in encrypted services

Technical Architecture

Unmatched visibility

Direct access to network stack events

TLS function hooking

Captures traffic before encryption occurs

Zero-performance impact

Minimal overhead on production systems

Cross-platform support

Works across different Linux distributions

Getting Started

  1. Deploy the eBPF agent
    on your target systems

  2. Configure monitoring rules
    for your specific use cases

  3. Integrate with your observability stack
    (S3, logging, monitoring)

  4. Start capturing encrypted traffic
    immediately
