ab: Summary: With security researchers relying on virtual machine environments
    (VMEs) in their analysis work, attackers and their malicious code have
    a significant stake in detecting the presence of a virtual machine.
    Virtualization, by its very nature, creates systems that have different
    characteristics from real machines. From a theoretical perspective, any
    difference between the virtual and the real could lead to a
    fingerprinting opportunity for attackers. This article focuses on
    detection techniques and mitigation options for the most widely
    deployed VME product today, VMware.
