Tehnologiya hardware virtualization provides great
opportunities for programmers. Many
of the features of interest in the context of
computer security. The aim of this work is to
investigate
hardware virtualization technology and the
identification of its possible application to
solve problems in the field of computer security.
Particularly interesting possibility of using
hardware virtualization rootkits. As a result of
this work have been investigated following hardware
virtualization: control access to ports of the
output, the ability to control the page table, as
well as control interrupt handling. Developed a
prototype rootkit using these opportunities for
covert operation of the system and gather
information.
