Top 8 C hypervisor Projects

  • HyperDbg

    State-of-the-art native debugging tool

    Project mention: Reverse Engineering DOS Software as If It Were 1990 | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-02

    https://hyperdbg.org and m1n1 (Apple Silicon) spring to mind as modern supervisor/hypervisor debuggers.

    There's nothing modern I'm aware of that lets you press a key combination to get into a hypervisor debug UI like softICE was known for, though. It's all shifted to host-and-target debugging. You'd use a "normal" debugger on one machine (lldb/gdb, WinDbg, IDA, etc.) and either supervised host-to-target connection (network-to-kernel/hypervisor on x86, OCD like JTAG/SWD/CoreSight on embedded) or emulation (for pretty much everything but device driver development).

  • Hypervisor-From-Scratch

    Source code of a multiple series of tutorials about the hypervisor. Available at: https://rayanfam.com/tutorials

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • jailhouse

    Linux-based partitioning hypervisor

  • solo5

    A sandboxed execution environment for unikernels

    Project mention: Mirage – A programming framework for building type-safe, modular systems | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-23

    What you already can do is attaching gdb -- either live or at a core dump. Please see https://github.com/Solo5/solo5/blob/master/docs/debugging.md for detailed instructions ;)

    What you as well can do is record-replay -- well, at least there used to be this option, I'm now lost whether it has never been merged anywhere, or it is stuck in some PR somewhere. This was truly great - since the external interface is so thin, it is easily doable to dump all external events (API calls and returns) onto disk and replay one-by-one, inspecting the state.

  • kernel-fuzzer-for-xen-project

    Kernel Fuzzer for Xen Project (KF/x) - Hypervisor-based fuzzing using Xen VM forking, VMI & AFL

  • MiniVisorPkg

    The research UEFI hypervisor that supports booting an operating system.

  • wiser

    :racehorse: Extremely minimal vmm for linux written in C. Hopefully someday will spin linux-vm for you.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • qemu-pinning

    My QEMU fork with pinning (affinity) support and a few tweaks.
