Out of curiosity, if the capture kernel were preloaded, wouldn't it be just as vulnerable to getting trashed as anything else in mem? Conversely, if it's not preloaded, how do you ensure that whatever block of code is responsible for loading the capture kernel isn't itself trashed? Does it require hypervisor support to be reliable?
