I've heard `eBPF` described as "like JavaScript for your kernel" if the kernel itself was being related to a web browser that runs embedded scripts, so, that should give an idea of how much and what type of power it brings, as well as the expected access level to be able to take advantage of it.

Other uses I've seen for eBPF are inspectors that tell what is happening on encrypted connections and the request headers for any connection, including authentication details that you would expect to be protected. It's great to have this kind of capability on systems that you own!
