This project guides you through creating a virtual machine (VM) that evades detection by software like anti-cheat systems, malware analysis tools, and licensing software. Using a patched QEMU and custom configurations from the qemu-anti-detection project, your VM will masquerade as a physical machine, bypassing most detection methods. Whether you’re a gamer, researcher, or privacy enthusiast, this setup offers a stealthy virtualization solution.
Software often checks for VMs to:
- Block cheats in games (e.g., Easy Anti-Cheat, Vanguard).
- Prevent malware from running in analysis sandboxes.
- Restrict licensed apps to physical hardware.
By masking VM traces, like “QEMU” device names, hypervisor flags, or timing quirks, you can run your software without detection. This guide leverages the qemu-anti-detection project to rename hardware, hide system info, and conceal the hypervisor, making your VM nearly indistinguishable from real hardware.
Note: This is for advanced users with Linux experience. Use responsibly and legally.
- Build a patched QEMU: Modify QEMU to hide virtualization signatures.
- Configure an undetectable VM: Use custom XML settings to mimic physical hardware.
- Bypass detection: Fool most anti-cheat, malware, and protection software.
- Verify results: Test with tools like Pafish to confirm stealth.
After following this guide, we tested the VM with Pafish, a tool designed to detect virtual environments. The results speak for themselves:
Pafish detected only two traces, an incredible result! These traces (RDTSC timing VM exit adn timecount) are notoriously hard to bypass, often requiring deep Linux kernel tweaks. Only a handful of experts have fully evaded it. This setup bypasses most malware and anti-cheat systems, making it a robust solution for stealthy VMs. Enjoy the stealth!

This setup is among the best for undetectable VMs, as proven by the Pafish results. Keep it legal guys!
