Description: Virtualization has become more and more poular over the years. Most hosting providers offer virtual servers to their customers nowadays. Also many personal computer users have started running virtual machines on their computer to work on multiple OSs at the same time. From a security perspective are all these virtual sandboxes provide 100% isolation? or can malicious code penetrate the barriers of the sandbox and affect the host machine? D.J Capelis tries to unlock some of these mysteries in his Defcon 15 presentation.D.J. Capelis is a student and researcher at the University of California, San Diego. He does research on processor design, secure systems and dabbles in cryptography. For a "real job" he is an active member of UCSD's Data Security Team teaching computers how to tell when users are being mean. D.J. also maintains the team's virtualized testing and development environment. In his free time, he tends to show up at 2600 meetings and other food-related events where he plays with his OLPC development board and does platform-related work on Blender.Links:
