# IDA BPF Processor

> IDA BPF Processor is a Python processor and loader for classic BPF bytecode in IDA. The README says it supports old BPF only, not eBPF, and that the loader accepts files whose magic is the four bytes bpf followed by NUL and whose reserved field is 0. It defines symbolic constants for seccomp return values and licenses the code under MIT.
