## What it is
Course materials for 'Hypervisor 101 in Rust', a one-day class on hardware-assisted virtualization and its use for high-performance fuzzing on Intel/AMD processors. Includes a fuzzing hypervisor for UEFI written in Rust, lecture slides, and hands-on exercises.

## Use cases
- learn how hypervisors work internally
- build a fuzzing hypervisor in rust
- understand vmcs vmcb and ept npt
- learn hardware-assisted virtualization for security research
- study exception interception for virtual machine introspection
- get started with hypervisor-based fuzzing on uefi

## When to choose
- you want a hands-on, code-driven introduction to writing hypervisors
- you are interested in hypervisor-based fuzzing on Intel/AMD hardware
- you prefer Rust examples for systems-level virtualization work

## When to avoid
- you need self-paced material with thorough explanations - the authors note it is designed for interactive classroom settings
- you need a production-ready hypervisor rather than educational code
- you target platforms without UEFI or Intel/AMD virtualization support

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: fuzzing, security, developer-tools
- domain: security, tutorials, developer-tools, reverse-engineering
- platform: windows, rust, cpp
- tags: hypervisor, uefi, virtualization, fuzzing, rust, course-materials, intel-vt-x, amd-v, vmcs, ept, macos, linux
