Abstract
Example methods are provided for locating an operating system (OS) data structure on a host according to a hypervisor-assisted approach. The method may comprise a virtualized computing instance identifying a guest virtual memory address range in which the OS data structure is stored; and configuring the hypervisor to perform a safe read on the guest virtual memory address range to access data stored within the guest virtual memory address range. The method may further comprise the virtualized computing instance performing attribute matching by comparing the data stored within the guest virtual memory address range with attribute data associated with the OS data structure; and determining a location associated with the OS data structure based on the attribute matching.
