Hyper-V Virtual Machine Hardening

This article shows how a virtual machin(VM) can be modified to evade detection from malware. This process is also called VM hardening. In dynamic malware analysis, researchers use virtual machine to execute malware samples in order to monitor and investigate its behavior. This is why malware author started to use Anit-VM techniques to detect if their programs are running inside a virtual environment and subsequently evade the analysis process.
