Virtually Pwned: Pentesting Virtualization

Presented at Black Hat USA 2010, July 29, 2010, 1:45 p.m. (75 minutes).

Virtualization systems are nowadays ubiquitus in enterprises of any size. Penetration testers and security auditors, however, often overlook virtualization infrastructures, simply looking at the virtual machines without any direct analysis of the underlying solution, not to mention those analyses simply marking virtual environments as "not-compliant".

A different, new approach is required to assess such systems, defining new targets and new ways to get there. This talk will outline procedures and approaches, complete with tools and demos, to execute a penetration test or a design review on virtualization enviroments. Security experts eager to know more about these systems and sysops willing to protect their own fortress will find this talk interesting
