Hardware/Server Virtualization is now an integral feature of the infrastructure of data centers used for cloud computing services as well as for enterprise computing. One of the key strategies for vulnerability management of the core software that provides virtualization (i.e., hypervisor) is devising a methodology for determining forensic data requirements for detecting attacks on this software. This document outlines one such methodology by developing a profile of vulnerabilities in terms of hypervisor functionality (attack vectors), attack type and attack source, performing attacks using predominant vulnerabilities and identifying the available and missing data for reconstructing the attack execution path.
