As the demand for system virtualization grows, so does the need to securely virtualize a wider range of underlying physical resources which can be shared among multiple guest OSs. Recently, hardware support for virtualization has become available on commodity processors, and is poised to replace software support. Intel and AMD, have rolled out hardware virtualization support in their current processors. In this paper, we discuss Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT-x) and present a lightweight Intel-based hardware-assisted virtual machine monitor (IAVMM) prototype, which can be used as a platform for security analysis and experimentation with the hardware-based virtualization technology.
