Abstract
Recently, virtualization technology has revived and become the key support of the clouds. KVM (Kernel virtual machine) based on Linux kernel-level achieves its popularity however with security risks. Therefore, the virtual environment and vulnerability detecting of KVM is of theoretical significance and great application value. However, there are few reports on virtual environment and vulnerability detection for KVM. This paper introduces a virtual environment and vulnerability method which includes the CPU cycle based detection algorithms, the internet time detection algorithms and multi-thread counter detection algorithms, etc.. In the vulnerability detection of KVM, denial of service attack is simulated and its detection method is proposed. Function and performance tests are also introduced.
