This is a post-exploitation module that checks several known registry keys and process names, as a simple way to determine if your target is running inside of a virtual machine. While many of these are easy to change, triggering a false negative, this script services as a simple pre-check.

The script has been tested on a variety of Windows 10 targets, but changes to hypervisors and VM-related drivers are common. If you identify misleading output from this tool, please [file an issue](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/issues/new) or, even better, [submit a pull request](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#contributing-to-metasploit).
