Hypervisor introspection: a technique for evading passive virtual machine monitoring
Virtualization technology has enabled powerful security monitoring techniques, such as virtual machine introspection (VMI). These monitoring techniques, however, rely on the assumed isolation of virtualized environments from the hypervisor. We show that there are still some events that can be …

Bridging the gap: Applying machine learning techniques in digital forensics
With the increasing adoption of virtualization technologies across various industries, virtual machines (VMs) offer cost-effective solutions for obtaining computing power without the burden of initial investment or ongoing maintenance. However, the widespread use of VMs also increases the risk of …

VMIaaS: Virtual Machine Introspection as a Service
… It allows users to have a running system as a virtual machine (VM) on the cloud without owning a physical server. Unfortunately, adversaries can also use those systems to conduct criminal activities. Therefore, developing a method to extract evidence from those systems is also necessary. One …

Record and replay based virtual-machine introspection for system security
Hardware security features need to strike a careful balance between design intrusiveness and completeness of methods. Securing against attacks like Return Oriented Programming (ROP) requires frequent and expensive checks. Complete security defenses have been proposed yet modern systems are still …
