Hypervisor 101 in Rust

The materials of the "Hypervisor 101 in Rust" class held at Global Cybersecurity Camp 2023 Singapore. This repository contains a fuzzing hypervisor for UEFI on Intel/AMD processors, lecture and hands-on exercise materials, and sample corpus and target files.

Directory structure

• course/ for the class materials
• hypervisor/ for source code and a detailed description of the fuzzing hypervisor
• ⚙️BUILDING.md for building and running the hypervisor with sample files under tests/

Course format

The class materials are designed for an interactive classroom setting and less effective for self-learning due to light explanations. We decided to publish this as it would still be useful to some, however. If you are interested in the interactive class with the author, please check out the schedule of the next public class at System Programming Lab.
