    Enabling the Virtual Phones to remotely sense the Real Phones in real-time ~ A Sensor Emulation initiative for virtualized Android-x86 ~ Raghavan Santhanam Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Computer Science in the School of Engineering and Applied Science 2014 © 2014 Raghavan Santhanam All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Enabling the Virtual Phones to remotely sense the Real Phones in real-time ~ A Sensor Emulation initiative for virtualized Android-x86 ~ Smartphones nowadays have the ground-breaking features that were only a figment of one’s imagination. For the ever-demanding cellphone users, the exhaustive list of features that a smartphone supports just keeps getting more exhaustive with time. These features aid one’s personal and professional uses as well. Extrapolating into the future the features of a present-day smartphone, the lives of us humans using smartphones are going to be unimaginably agile. With the above said emphasis on the current and future potential of a smartphone, the ability to virtualize smartphones with all their real-world features into a virtual platform, is a boon for those who want to rigorously experiment and customize the virtualized smartphone hardware without spending an extra penny. Once virtualizable independently on a larger scale, the idea of virtualized smartphones with all the virtualized pieces of hardware takes an interesting turn with the sensors being virtualized in a way that’s closer to the real-world behavior. When accessible remotely with the real-time responsiveness, the above mentioned real-world behavior will be a real dealmaker in many real-world systems, namely, the life-saving systems like the ones that instantaneously get alerts about harmful magnetic radiations in the deep mining areas, etc.

  • Microsoft Security Update for January 2020 Fixes 49 Security Vulnerabilities
    Microsoft Security Update for January 2020 Fixes 49 Security Vulnerabilities Overview Microsoft released the January security update on Tuesday, fixing 49 security issues ranging from simple spoofing attacks to remote code execution, discovered in products like .NET Framework, Apps, ASP.NET, Common Log File System Driver, Microsoft Dynamics, Microsoft Graphics Component, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Scripting Engine, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Windows Search Component, Windows Hyper-V, Windows Media, Windows RDP, Windows Subsystem for Linux, and Windows Update Stack. Of the vulnerabilities fixed by Microsoft's this monthly update, a total of eight critical vulnerabilities exist in the .NET Framework, ASP.NET, Microsoft Scripting Engine, and Windows RDP. In addition, there are 41 important vulnerabilities. Critical Vulnerabilities The following are eight critical vulnerabilities covered in this update. @NSFOUS 2020 http://www.nsfocus.com Windows RDP CVE-2020-0609、CVE-2020-0610 These two remote code execution vulnerabilities in the Windows Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) could be exploited by unauthenticated attackers. If the two vulnerabilities are exploited successfully, arbitrary code may be executed on the target system, allowing the attacker to install the program, view, change or delete data, or create a new account with full user rights. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to send a specially crafted request to the RD gateway of the target system via RDP. This update addresses these issues by correcting the way the RD gateway handles connection requests. For more details about the vulnerabilities and download updates, please refer to Microsoft's official security advisories: https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2020-0609 https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2020-0610 CVE-2020-0611 This is a remote code execution vulnerability in Windows Remote Desktop clients.

  • Virtualization with Limited Hardware Support
    Virtualization with Limited Hardware Support by Bi Wu Department of Computer Science Duke University Date: Approved: Landon Cox, Supervisor Jeffrey Chase Alvin Lebeck Harvey Tuch Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Computer Science in the Graduate School of Duke University 2013 Abstract Virtualization with Limited Hardware Support by Bi Wu Department of Computer Science Duke University Date: Approved: Landon Cox, Supervisor Jeffrey Chase Alvin Lebeck Harvey Tuch An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Computer Science in the Graduate School of Duke University 2013 Copyright c 2013 by Bi Wu All rights reserved except the rights granted by the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial Licence Abstract Over the past 15 years, virtualization has become a standard way to migrate old software to new hardware, isolate untrusted code, and encapsulate application state. However, many of the techniques for implementing common virtualization functional- ity, such as transparent isolation and full-system record and replay, rely on hardware features provided by the x86 architecture. As the mainstream computing landscape diversifies to include less feature-rich mobile and embedded systems, it is critical to rethink how to efficiently provide core virtualization functionality with limited hardware support. As a result, this dissertation explores the feasibility of providing common virtu- alization functionality with limited hardware support. We propose three approaches to virtualization using limited hardware support. First, we describe a way to transparently virtualize a CPU using hardware break- points and on-demand control-flow analysis.

Device emulation [7] has great complexity and scenarios. Unfortunately, existing GPU virtualization extremely low performance, so it does not meet today’s approaches are still suboptimal in performance and full needs. API forwarding [3][9][22][31] employs a feature support. frontend driver, to forward the high level API calls inside a VM, to the host for acceleration. However, API This paper introduces gVirt, a product level GPU forwarding faces the challenge of supporting full virtualization implementation with: 1) full GPU features, due to the complexity of intrusive virtualization running native graphics driver in guest, modification in the guest graphics software stack, and and 2) mediated pass-through that achieves both good incompatibility between the guest and host graphics performance and scalability, and also secure isolation software stacks. Direct pass-through [5][37] dedicates among guests. gVirt presents a virtual full-fledged GPU the GPU to a single VM, providing full features and the to each VM. VMs can directly access best performance, but at the cost of device sharing performance-critical resources, without intervention capability among VMs. Mediated pass-through [19], from the hypervisor in most cases, while privileged passes through performance-critical resources, while operations from guest are trap-and-emulated at minimal mediating privileged operations on the device, with cost. Experiments demonstrate that gVirt can achieve good performance, full features, and sharing capability.
