When I opened the github link and saw all those .c files, I assumed it must be doing something tricky, like timing system calls or doing statistics or looking at what memory addresses are allocated or... something.

This entire repo is like a 40 line bash script, but they wrote it in C because.. they know C presumably?

The thing that really makes me curious though, how many people are running VPS's on so many clients that they need a tool to tell if it's virtualized? I can understand wanting to know, I guess, but why not just have a list like "if /proc/whatever exists, you are in kvm" instead of compiling and running this? Who would do it? Why is this on the frontpage?
