ionescu007 / SimpleVisor

SimpleVisor is a simple, portable, Intel VT-x hypervisor with two specific goals: using the least amount of assembly code (10 lines), and having the smallest amount of VMX-related code to support dynamic hyperjacking and unhyperjacking (that is, virtualizing the host state from within the host). It works on Windows and UEFI.

Updating description on HyperPlatform #2

Closed tandasat closed 8 years ago

tandasat commented 8 years ago

Hi,

Would you mind updating a description on HyperPlatform in README? While it is true that HyperPlatform suffer from certain complexity comparared with SimpleVisor, it is designed for a research platform and not quite for commercial and/or production usage.

Also, please let me know if you think HyperPlatform can seen as if it were aiming for production-level use. Since I am one of authors of HyperPlatform, I am very happy with updating a description of HyperPlatform to give a right understanding of the project.

Thank you,

Hi,

I am happy to change this. I was simply trying to comment on the high quality of the HyperPlatform code and its much better suitability toward production use than SimpleVisor :)

Also, I realize another point of confusion. When I said "the author", I meant, the author of SimpleVisor -- myself ;-). I changed that part so people don't think it means you.

Thank you for updating the description so quickly!

SimpleVisor is really awesome in a sense of simplicity and readability. I have to admit that it is better for understanding VT-x for beginners and update my README to refer to this project for that reason ;)
