Rapidly Prototype New Hypervisors

Bareflank aims to provide all of the scaffolding needed to rapidly prototype new hypervisors. Currently Bareflank has support for Linux and Windows on Intel 64bit CPUs, but support for OS X, and UEFI is coming as well as support for ARM and AMD platforms.

Simple To Extend

Bareflank is written in C++ with support for the C++ STL via libc++. Bareflank also comes complete with a custom unwind library for kernel safe exception support. Using inheritance and Bareflank's modular design, it is simple to extend Bareflank to create your own hypervisors. Bareflank even comes with a set of examples that demonstrate, step-by-step, how custom extensions work.
