## Locations Checked
There are many locations that are checked for having evidence of being a virtual machine. The follow is a list of them:
1. (with root access) `/usr/sbin/dmidecode`
2. `/sbin/lsmod`
3. `/proc/scsi/scsi`
4. `cat /proc/ide/hd*/model`
5. `lspci`
6. `ls -1 /sys/bus`
7. `lscpu`
8. `dmesg`
## Verification Steps
1. Start msfconsole
2. Get a session via exploit of your choice
3. Do: `use post/linux/gather/checkvm`
4. Do: `set session <session>`
5. Do: `run`

6. You should get feedback if a virtual machine environment was detected

## Options
**SESSION**
Which session to use, which can be viewed with `sessions -l`
## Scenarios
Typical run against Kali with only one user (root), using ssh_login for initial shell
```
msf > use auxiliary/scanner/ssh/ssh_login
msf auxiliary(ssh_login) > set username root
username => root
msf auxiliary(ssh_login) > set password "test"
password => example_password
msf auxiliary(ssh_login) > set rhosts 127.0.0.1
rhosts => 127.0.0.1
msf auxiliary(ssh_login) > exploit

```
A non-virtual machine will have the following output
```
msf > use auxiliary/scanner/ssh/ssh_login
msf auxiliary(ssh_login) > set username root
username => root
msf auxiliary(ssh_login) > set password "test"
password => example_password

rhosts => 127.0.0.1

And a VMwave virtual machine
