We're happy to now have the content mirrored for David Weinstein's x86 virtualization training class. This class  teaches how to write a toy virtual machine monitor (VMM) while showing how the famous BluePill and Vitriol attacks are possible. The class is designed with particular focus on a Windows 7 x64 system, but towards the end it discusses creating a container for real-mode (BIOS code) execution inside a toy Linux VMM (accessible via /dev/vmm once the kernel module is loaded). The concepts are introduced first with some historical perspective and fundamentals, followed by doing a deep technical dive, and finally talking about detection techniques/countermeasures in the last part.
