Research direction

Start with the linked Falco Write below binary dir rule and trace how fd.directory is resolved for container bind-mounts. Done means Falco/sysdig can expose the corresponding path from the initial mount namespace so the rule detects those writes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

feature-request pinned

The Write below binary dir rule of Falco can't detect writes from containers (with bind-mounts), because fd.directory is resolved into a path in a mount namespace (container), not into the path in the initial mount namespace ("host").

It would be great if Falco/sysdig can also inspect the path in the initial mount namespace.
