Source code accompanying a multi-part tutorial series on building an Intel VT-x hypervisor from scratch. It covers VMX operation, VMCS setup, EPT-based address translation, and virtualizing an already-running system.

Use cases

• learn how to write a hypervisor from scratch
• understand Intel VT-x and VMX operation
• implement EPT address translation
• virtualize an already running Windows system
• use EPT page-level monitoring to detect code execution
• study hidden hooks and hypervisor-based techniques

When to choose

• you want to learn low-level x86 virtualization internals step by step
• you need working C/C++ reference code for VMX, VMCS, and EPT
• you are preparing for hypervisor-based reverse engineering or security research

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready hypervisor or VM platform
• you target hardware other than Intel VT-x on Windows
• you just want to use a hypervisor for debugging rather than build one (use HyperDbg instead)
