Introduction
This tutorial will walk you through the steps required to compile libmicrovmi and run
the mem-dump
Rust example code on a Xen domain in order to dump its physical memory.
This tutorial assumes the following:
- you have a working installation of Rust as well as a Xen domain
- you have a running VM supervised by Xen 4.11.0 or above.
- you are running on Ubuntu 20.04
Requirements
clang
(bindgen)- Xen development headers
To install the additional dependencies:
$ sudo apt install clang libxen-dev
Cloning libmicrovmi
Before beginning the tutorial, clone the repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/Wenzel/libmicrovmi
⚠️ Note: Accessing Xen's introspection APIs will require high privileges as we are talking to Dom0
,
hence we have to run cargo
as root
when actually running and testing example code.
