Networking with eBPF:

• Build a security tool that detects suspicious activities like privilege escalation, unauthorized file access, or process anomalies
• Develop a tool that captures network traffic and provides insights into packet latency, bandwidth usage, and protocol-level statistics in real-time
• Build a lightweight load balancer that reacts to traffic patterns in real-time
• Build a firewall that adapts dynamically to traffic patterns and threat levels
• Implement an intelligent auto-scaler for containerized workloads using real-time insights from eBPF
