## What it is
HyperPlatform is an Intel VT-x based hypervisor for Windows that provides a thin VM-exit filtering platform for research. It lets researchers selectively monitor events such as memory accesses, system register changes, interrupts, and instruction execution, and build custom logic on top.

## Use cases
- analyze kernel mode rootkits with hardware-level monitoring
- build a virtual-machine-based intrusion prevention system (VIPS)
- reverse-engineer the Windows kernel
- monitor and hook kernel API calls stealthily with EPT
- detect elevation-of-privilege exploits in the kernel
- observe PatchGuard activity

## When to choose
- you need a thin, readable Intel VT-x hypervisor on Windows 7 through 10
- you want to selectively monitor VM-exit events and extend with your own logic
- you prefer a dependency-free, MIT-licensed codebase debuggable with WinDbg and Visual Studio

## When to avoid
- you need a production hypervisor with full VM support or multi-OS guest support
- you target AMD CPUs, since only Intel VT-x is supported
- you need actively developed features; the project is in maintenance with infrequent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, reverse-engineering, monitoring, developer-tools
- domain: security, reverse-engineering, operating-systems, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: hypervisor, intel-vt-x, windows-kernel, kernel-driver, vm-exit-filtering, rootkit-analysis, ept
