VMAware is a cross-platform library designed to detect virtual machines.

It is meant to be stupidly easy to use, with only 5 total functions in its public interface. Additionally, it supports brand detection.

While there are many VM detection mechanisms that are already in use, VMAware features up to 80+ unique techniques to get the most accurate result possible.

On top of the library, there's a CLI tool that takes advantage of the full library (see screenshots)

It's also meant to be compatible with ARM, and 32-bit Windows, with C++11 support.

The library also has separate MIT and GPL compliant code, allowing for licensing flexibility among proprietary and open-source projects.
