VMI-PL: A monitoring language for virtual platforms using virtual machine introspection
With the growth of virtualization and cloud computing, more and more forensic investigations rely on being able to perform live forensics on a virtual machine using virtual machine introspection (VMI). Inspecting a virtual machine through its hypervisor enables investigation without risking contamination of the evidence, crashing the computer, etc. To further access to these techniques for the ...
متن کاملHypervisor Introspection: A Technique for Evading Passive Virtual Machine Monitoring
Security requirements in the cloud have led to the development of new monitoring techniques that can be broadly categorized as virtual machine introspection (VMI) techniques. VMI monitoring aims to provide high-fidelity monitoring while keeping the monitor secure by leveraging the isolation provided by virtualization. This work shows that not all hypervisor activity is hidden from the guest vir...
متن کاملLeveraging Forensic Tools for Virtual Machine Introspection
Virtual machine introspection (VMI) has formed the basis of a number of novel approaches to security in recent years. Although the isolation provided by a virtualized environment provides improved security, software that makes use of VMI must overcome the semantic gap, reconstructing high-level state information from low-level data sources such as physical memory. The digital forensics communit...
متن کاملVirtual Machine Introspection with Xen on ARM
In the recent years, virtual machine introspection (VMI) has become a valuable technique for developing security applications for virtualized environments. With the increasing popularity of the ARM architecture, and the recent addition of hardware virtualization extensions, there is a growing need for porting existing VMI tools. Porting these applications requires proper hypervisor support, whi...
متن کاملSimulating windows-based cyber attacks using live virtual machine introspection
Static memory analysis has been proven a valuable technique for digital forensics. However, the memory capture technique halts the system causing the loss of important dynamic system data. As a result, live analysis techniques have emerged to complement static analysis. In this paper, a compiled memory analysis tool for virtualization (CMAT-V) is presented as a virtual machine introspection (VM...
