New machinery module for vSphere/ESXi

[jgajek]

This is a vSphere/ESX machinery module for the Cuckoo sandbox and is intended as an alternative to Cuckoo's ESX machinery module.

It adds full memory dump functionality during analysis, which is currently not supported by Cuckoo's LibVirt-based ESX module.

The module depends on the vSphere API Python Bindings provided by VMware (https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi) which can be installed via pip:

sudo pip install --upgrade pyvmomi

Hi Jacob,

Excellent, after reading: http://community.cuckoosandbox.org/posts/show/esx-machinery-memory-dump-support/ this is exactly what I had been waiting for (though I don't use ESXi myself). Could you do me a favor though and please explicitly list the license or add a reference to docs/LICENSE (if it's intended to be GPLv3)?

Thanks! -Brad

Hi Brad, which license would you like it under? I don't really care, since I have permission in writing from my boss to contribute it upstream.

That's entirely up to you. The rest of Cuckoo (modulo some small bits under more permissive licenses) is under GPLv3.

Added reference to docs/LICENSE.

Thanks very much! Just merged it separately since you pulled in a different fix for an issue I resolved with another commit.

Thanks again, -Brad
