"While commodity VMMs conform to the PC architecture,
virtual implementations of this architecture differ
substantially from physical implementations. These differences
are not incidental: performance demands and
practical engineering limitations necessitate divergences
(sometimes radical ones) from native hardware, both in
semantics and performance. Consequently, we believe
the potential for preventing VMM detection under close
scrutiny is illusory — and fundamentally in conflict with
the technical limitations of virtualized platforms."
The paper concludes by saying that
"Perhaps the most concise argument against the utility
of VMBRs (VM-based rootkits) is: "Why bother?" VMBRs change the malware
defender's problem from a very difficult one (discovering
whether the trusted computing base of a system
has been compromised), to the much easier problem of
detecting a VMM."
