Re: What could possibly go wrong

“Security vendor Bitdefender has open-sourced its hypervisor introspection technology, which the Xen Project will adopt as a sub-project.

Hypervisor introspection (HVI) makes it possible to inspect the memory of a guest VM, a desirable thing to do if you are hunting for malware infections in the guest.”

I’m sure the first people to download the source code for this will be malware writers, to see what they can do to circumvent ghis and also exploit it’s capabilities.

‘What could go wrong’ indeed !!
