1 Computer Security Symposium October 1 November oyama@inf.uec.ac.jp kawasaki@ol.inf.uec.ac.jp BVMD MWS 2012 BVMD BitVisor BVMD OS Malware Detection by Signature Matching in a Hypervisor Yoshihiro Oyama Yudai Kawasaki The University of Electro-Communications Chofugaoka, Chofu-shi, Tokyo , JAPAN oyama@inf.uec.ac.jp kawasaki@ol.inf.uec.ac.jp Abstract We report the result of experiments in which we detected malware in the MWS 2012 malware dataset by using BVMD, a hypervisor that provides a malware detection mechanism. BVMD is implemented by extending a parapass-through hypervisor BitVisor. BVMD applies signature matching against data blocks that are transmitted between the guest OS and devices such as hard disks. 1 OS OS PC OS Conficker [8] OS BVMD [6] BVMD VMM OS
