<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Hi Dmitriy,<br>
<br>
Looks like after some Windows 11 updates were applied then it was
able to boot up under Bitvisor 3.0. Still would be nice to have
any patches come out in the next version as well just in case it
is run on other machines.<br>
<br>
On the SQLite side, have you been able to use BV 3.0 to get SQLite
working as I want to slowly test all of the features that are
currently implemented in Bitvisor which are, from what I can see,
mainly SQLite (from dgbsh.efi and from within Ubuntu but did not
see any Windows build for it), as well as the encrypted
filesystem. There are also a few other things like IDMan, that I
do not know much about, but will look into it more as well as like
the Wireguard implementation although still having a few problems
connecting to other Wireguard nodes (i.e. Servers). <br>
<br>
Have you been able to work with SQLite and the examples with
Bitvisor 3.0?<br>
<br>
Regarding the transparent disk encryption, I want to test what
Bitvisor can already do, but have also come across a project
called "TreVisor" (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/lakeman/trevisor">https://github.com/lakeman/trevisor</a>) which uses
the TRESOR Encryption
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.cs1.tf.fau.de/research/system-security-group/tresor-trevisor-armored/">https://www.cs1.tf.fau.de/research/system-security-group/tresor-trevisor-armored/</a>)
to keep the keys out of RAM and seems to be based upon Bitvisor
1.3.<br>
<br>
Once I have been able to get a good feel for all of the basic
Bitvisor 3.0 functionality, I was thinking to perhaps give it a
try to port up the BitVisor-1.3 patch for TreVisor to hopefully
work with the latest Bitvisor 3.0 since it looks like a bit of an
enhancement in security based upon the TreVisor Security paper but
I also want to keep the latest main Bitvisor features as well.<br>
<br>
Mostly exploring at the moment but I am really hoping to dive in
heavily over the next few months to use it at the core for an
interesting project that will explore running ultra-thin OS which
will basically be under Bitvisor, but more on that later.<br>
<br>
Best and have a great evening,<br>
Lonnie<br>

I have been compiling the Bitvisor 3.0 from the Github
Matsu repository:<br>

But still cannot get the SQLiteExample to work through
the "dbgsh" as it does not seem to find it no matter
what I try. In my last efforts, I even copied the
sqliteexample.bin into the "EFI/Boot" directory where
the bitvisor.efi and loader are located but it seems
that the bin files are not something that is loaded at
boot time and I suspect that they would be compiled
into bitvisor as a single efi file.<br>
<br>
Also, I have been testing on my Nuc13 Ubuntu 22.04
(x64) machine since I think that there is a problem
booting up Windows 11 (x64) from a recent mailing list
message in which a fix was going to be put into place,
but I have not see any additional emails on this and
if this has bee added to the latest Bitvisor.<br>
<br>
Any updates on these would be greatly appreciated, my
friends.<br>

Best,<br>

I am testing Sqlite3 in Bitvisor 3.0 on a Ubuntu 22.04
(x64) system.<br>
<br>
In the "make config" setup, I do see the an option for
"SQLite in Protection Domain" and do see some sqlite
bin modules including sqliteexample.bin but am not
clear as to if I need to put the bin files in the EFI
directory with bitvisor.efi so that it can load the
modules.<br>
<br>
After I boot bitvisor, I am able to start up "./dbgsh"
to talk to bitvisor, but it does not seem to locate
the sqliteexample when I try to start it.<br>

Also, based upon (below) the plugins are static and
not able to be dynamically loaded but I would guess
that the plugin modules still need to be placed in the
EFI directory.<br>

Can you please advise me on this as I am really trying
to dig into bitvisor for this new version of the
project that I wanted to complete.<br>

Thanks an have a great day, my friends.<br>
