Need code and/or instruction to take a new snapshot of other UEFI code

Open tandasat opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Currently, the repo does not include code or instructions to take a new snapshot on your own. Add this so that users can get a better idea of how that code or workflow look like.

The reason behind not including that code or instructions is that this project's top focus is learning virtualization technologies and not using it for fuzzing (it is solely a mean), and our hypervisor is only capable of fuzzing UEFI code (due to missing paging handling), making it fairly useless as a fuzzer for many.

The format of a snapshot this project consumes is custom, so combining with limited usefulness of the project as a fuzzer, I do not have an impression that such code and instruction is going to be helpful for many. Let me know if you are interested. I can take time at some point as I see interest.

To make it somewhat more useful and interesting, it would be nice if the project can consume snapshots of existing hypervisor products such as VMware, but I do not think I am going to take time for that.
