Indeed. Besides, there is a whole genre of research and practice on the introspection of virtual machines.
- dangus 3y agoThis actually isn’t at all relevant to what I’m talking about. I’m talking about who holds responsibility for the actions taken with the virtual machines that Microsoft sells. If I buy a VM from Microsoft and run a scam on it, Microsoft didn’t have control of that action. They don’t make my scam website or sell the data I collected. I’m the one responsible for scamming people, not Microsoft. We can go down the hypothetical rabbit holes on whether Microsoft is running an incredibly sophisticated operation to memory dump all their customers’ VMs to try and steal data, but that’s basically beside the point.
