Abstract

In this paper, we present an approach that uses virtual machines to do "out-of-the-box" cross-layer damage assessment, an indispensable part of security/risk management. To resolve the con ict between fine-grained damage assessment and the response time requirements of service requests, we present a new production environment damage assessment architecture. We have implemented a major portion of the architecture and done preliminary evaluation. Contribu- tions of our system include combining instruction and OS level taint tracking, and efficient "what-if" damage assess- ment methods.
