Description of the 'unload' command in HyperDbg.

Command

Syntax

unload [remove] [ModuleName (string)]

Description

Modules

Module Name	Description
vmm	Hypervisor-related capabilities

The debugger functions are implemented on top of the 'vmm' module.

vmm : this module contains commands related to the debugger and all hypervisor-related capabilities. Currently, vmm is the only module of HyperDbg.

Examples

The following example unloads vmm module.

HyperDbg> unload vmm

SDK

To unload the HyperDbg driver on the local machine, you need to use the following functions in libhyperdbg:

INT
hyperdbg_u_stop_vmm_driver();

Then,

INT
hyperdbg_u_unload_vmm();

Later you can uninstall the driver using the following SDK function:

INT
hyperdbg_u_uninstall_vmm_driver();

Remarks

This command will continue the debuggee for some time (in Debugger Mode). This means that you lose the current context (registers & memory) after executing this command.

If you use the remove argument, then the driver will be marked to be stopped and uninstalled. You cannot re-load that module again until the target machine is restarted.

Requirements

None
