100% undetectable malware on CPU’s with hardware level virtualization
Meet Joanna Rutkowska. She is a security researcher focusing on operating system level security. She has created the Blue Pill.
The Blue Pill takes advantage of virtualization capability built into the processor, and can move a running OS into a virtual machine without reboot or other interruption.
To date, her concept is 100% undetectable. She goes into details about how the virtualization subsystem can subvert timing analysis.
Beyond the Blue Pill, she has many research papers that will be of interest in system level security folks.
