<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Hi All,<br>
<br>
I just tested my Windows 11 (x64) after compiling the latest
Bitvisor 3.0 and it seems to start to boot but then the screen
freezes up just at the point that it is showing the Windows logo
and the little circle starts to rotate. It goes for just a second
and then freezes up.<br>
<br>
I may have to try and add the modifications to see if I can get it
to work.<br>
<br>
On a side note, I was able to get the dbgsh-i to work and then
start up the sqliteexaample, so I think that problem is done for
now.<br>
<br>
Best and have a great weekend.<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"
moz-do-not-send="true">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/"
moz-do-not-send="true">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

<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>

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
