Re: [Xen-devel] Looking for Semester long Project
Hi Paul, Thanks for getting back to us in regards to the KDD project. I am trying to understand the current status of the project. Could you provide a bit more information on the current status and what would need to be done.
Julian
I think KDD is still a worthy thing to do, particularly in light of
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-12/msg01723.html
(which is about the most recent ref I could find, and I don't know
what happened to the code after that). AFAIK, the biggest challenge is
getting round Windows' KASLR; it may be necessary to have some sort of
driver in the guest to get the necessary info. out but that shouldn't
be too hard to implement.
Cheers,
Paul
