Detect if code is running inside a virtual machine.
Only works on x86 and x86-64.
Measure average cpu cycles when calling cpuid and compare to a threshold, if the value is high assume code is running inside a VM.
git clone https://github.com/PicoJr/inside-vm
cd inside-vm/
cargo run --example test-inside-vm
output: avg cycles for __cpuid: 108
vs inside VM
[vagrant@archlinux vagrant]$ ./target/release/examples/test-inside-vm
output: avg cycles for __cpuid: 30578
use inside_vm::inside_vm;
let inside = inside_vm();
println!("inside vm: {}", inside);https://evasions.checkpoint.com/techniques/timing.html#difference-vm-hosts
