|---|---|---|
Recent work on applications ranging from realistic honeypots to stealthier rootkits has speculated about building transparent VMMs - VMMs that are indistinguishable from native hardware, even to a dedicated adversary. We survey anomalies between real and virtual hardware and consider methods for detecting such anomalies, as well as possible countermeasures. We conclude that building a transparent VMM is fundamentally infeasible, as well as impractical from a performance and engineering standpoint. |
