rbpf is a Rust crate providing a user-space virtual machine for executing eBPF programs. It includes an interpreter, an x86_64 JIT compiler, and a disassembler for eBPF bytecode.

Use cases

• run eBPF programs in user-space applications
• embed an eBPF interpreter in a Rust project
• JIT-compile eBPF bytecode for faster execution on x86_64
• disassemble eBPF programs for inspection and debugging
• test eBPF program logic without loading it into the kernel
• build packet filtering tools based on BPF

When to choose

• you need to execute eBPF programs outside the Linux kernel
• you want a pure-Rust, cross-platform eBPF VM for Linux, macOS, or Windows
• you are building tooling that emulates or analyzes eBPF bytecode

When to avoid

• you need to run eBPF programs in the Linux kernel with kernel helpers and maps
• you require JIT compilation on Windows, which is not supported
• you need a production-grade verifier comparable to the kernel's
