Guest configuration

This section describes how to configure the guest environment that will be used for recording. Notably, this includes:

• Reducing the background OS activity to what is strictly necessary, to avoid recording irrelevant processes. For example:
  • Disabling background services,
  • Deactivating anti-viruses,
  • etc.
• Ensuring Reven can reconstruct OS-Specific Information (OSSI) from the scenario once recorded, for instance:
  • Disabling certain security features which hinder kernel memory querying.
  • On Linux, populating the VM with debug binaries for symbol retrieval.

As the processes are very different from one OS to another, they are separated:

• Windows
• Linux
