Crate vmaware 

VMAware-rs

A cross-platform Rust library for virtual machine detection. Port of VMAware (C++).

Quick Start

use vmaware::VM;

fn main() {
    if VM::detect(None) {
        println!("Virtual machine detected!");
    } else {
        println!("Running on baremetal");
    }

    println!("VM name: {}", VM::brand(None));
    println!("VM type: {}", VM::vm_type(None));
    println!("VM certainty: {}%", VM::percentage(None));
}

Modules

brands

Official aliases for VM brands. Using constants avoids typos and enables pointer-based comparison.

cpu

CPU operations module — wraps CPUID and related low-level CPU queries.

engine

Core scoring engine module. Manages the technique table, brand scoreboard, and orchestrates running all detections.

flags

memo

Memoization / caching module. Caches technique results, brand strings, CPU brand, and other computed values to avoid re-running expensive detection logic.

techniques

VM detection techniques organized by platform.

util

Utility functions used by VM detection techniques. Includes file I/O, registry access, process checking, OS queries, etc.

Structs

VM

Main VM detection interface. All methods are static — no instantiation needed.

VMAwareResult

Convenience struct that holds all detection results at once.
