AA-UNCONFINED(8) AppArmor AA-UNCONFINED(8)

NAME

   aa-unconfined - output a list of processes with tcp or udp ports that do not have AppArmor profiles loaded

SYNOPSIS

   aa-unconfined [options] [--with-ss | --with-netstat]

OPTIONS

   --paranoid
       Displays all processes visible from /proc filesystem, and whether they are confined by a profile or "not confined". Equivalent to --show=all.

   --show=(all|network|server|client)
       Determines the set of processes to be displayed.

       --show=all show all processes is equivalent to --paranoid

       --show=network show only process with any sockets open.

       --show=server show only processes with listening sockets open. This is the default value if --show= or --paranoid are not specified.

       --show=client show only processes with non-listening sockets open.

   --with-ss
       Use the ss(8) command to find processes listening on network sockets (the default).

   --with-netstat
       Use the netstat(8) command to find processes listening on network sockets. This is also what aa-unconfined will fall back to when ss(8) is not available.

DESCRIPTION

   aa-unconfined will use netstat(8) to determine which processes have open network sockets and do not have AppArmor profiles loaded into the kernel.

BUGS

   aa-unconfined  must  be  run as root to retrieve the process executable link from the /proc filesystem. This program is susceptible to race conditions of several flavours: an unlinked
   executable will be mishandled; an executable started before an AppArmor profile is loaded will not appear in the output, despite running  without  confinement;  a  process  that  dies
   between  the  netstat(8)  and  further  checks  will  be mishandled. This program only lists processes using TCP and UDP. In short, this program is unsuitable for forensics use and is
   provided only as an aid to profiling all network-accessible processes in the lab.
