TITLE:
ReVirt: Enabling Intrusion Analysis through Virtual-Machine Logging
and
Replay
ABSTRACT:
Current system loggers have two problems: they depend on the integrity
of the operating system being logged, and they do not save sufficient
information to replay and analyze non-deterministic attacks. ReVirt removes
the dependency on the target operating system by moving it into a virtual
machine and logging below the virtual machine. This allows ReVirt to replay
the system's execution before, during, and after an intruder compromises
the system, even if the intruder replaces the target operating system.
ReVirt logs enough information to replay a long-term execution of the
virtual machine instruction-by-instruction. This enables it to provide
arbitrarily detailed observations about what transpired on the system,
even in the presence of non-deterministic attacks and executions.
BIO:
