I was wondering when this was going to happen. A researcher has come up
with a proof-of-concept rootkit, which depends on Pacifica
virtualization technology to bypass the operating system. I'm sure this
can also be done using Vanderpool virtualization. It was bound to
happen, a virtualization hypervisor is a super-OS, higher than the OS
itself. The OS runs as an application under the Hypervisor. It's
interesting why the researcher chose to do it under Pacifica rather
than Vanderpool? Perhaps Pacifica made her job easier to create the
hypervisor?
BTW, I think the term "Blue Pill" refers to the Matrix movies, where
Morpheus offers Neo either a red pill or a blue pill. The red pill
opened up the truth, while the blue pill kept the truth hidden.
