This section explains how to compile and run Bochs with Visual Studio.ġ. By using Bochs, you are able to trace exactly why it happened with Boch s' emulation source code.įollowing sections describe steps to run a hypervisor in Bochs with the Visual Studio Debugger. For example, VMware provides no capabilities to trace why a VMX instruction failed or why a guest suddenly received a triple fault VM-exit. Open a corresponding VMX file and add the following lines.Īlthough VMware works perfect for development majority of times, it can be difficult to chase some bugs through only a kernel debugger. Check 'Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI'Ģ. In order for running a hypervisor in a VM, you need to change configurations of the VM as fo llowings. VMware Workstation supports nested hardware virtualization and allows your hypervisor to run inside a VM. This chapter explains basic technical know-how of developing and debugging hypervisors. ◦A user-mode program kno ck ing at HyperPlatform's “backdoor”.Įnjoy the ring -1 programming! 4. ◦A user-mode program parsing logs created by HyperPlatform. It is implemented on the top of HyperPlatform. ◦A hypervisor-based tool monitoring some of PatchGuard activities.

◦A hypervisor-based tool detecting execution of kernel memory where is not backed by any image files using extended page table (EPT).

An address of a sysenter handler => VmpSetupVmcs() in vm.cpp.Configurations of when VM -exit occurs => VmpSetupV mcs () in vm.cpp.DriverEntry and an unload handler => driver.cpp.The rests are left to your ideas, but followings is a list of locations where you may want to take a look at and modify for your own purposes: Build the project for 'x86' or '圆4' (HyperPlatform does not support ARM architecture). In this document, a project is named ' EopMon '.ĩ. Create a new project for 'Kernel Mode Driver, Empty (KMDF)'.
