As far as I know, VMware virtual machines have components related to VMware virtualization such as VMware tools. I want to know if KVM virtual machine has KVM/QEMU related components

There are many tutorials on how to create a virtual machine using platforms like vmware, virtualbox, hyper-v, etc.
But how do these apps actually work?
And how would one go about implementing software that can create virtual machines?
I want to change the default vendor id prefix VID_80EE Give by Virtual Box.
VID_80EE
I am doing malware analysis and malware use this id to detect whether it is running in a Virtual BOX or not.
It is a virtual usb device, which runs inside the VM. Normal usb drivers talk to usb devices on the usb bus. This virtual device is still on the virtual usb bus, but it is not a hardware, instead it is talking to the virtualbox process on the host. The virtualbox has some kernel drivers, they provide the virtual usb devices which bind the virtual usb bus of the guest with the virtualbox process of the host.
To change their USB vendor/product ID, I see no way than change their source code and recompiling them. They are Linux kernel drivers, part of the upstream virtualbox sources.
The vendor/product id of the virtual USB keyboard is here, and of the mouse is here.
You can do the recompilation following the virtualbox build instructions.
I did already some vbox recompilation, and it is not trivial, but it can be done without major problems. And you only need the guest kernel drivers.
I have a windows 10 host operating system that supports virtualization. Next, I have an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine I created using virtualbox. For development purposes, I need to create a virtual machine inside my guest Ubuntu virtual machine. Unfortunately, I can't enable VT-x option in my guest Ubuntu machine to create a create a virtual machine inside my Ubuntu guest. Any information on how enable VT-x option on my virtual box inside my virtual Ubuntu machine would be appreciated.
Edit: I had that this may be accomplished through PCI Passthrough for VirtualBox. If so please detail how.
Lastly, my problem is similar to this guy's but with exception I can't seem to create an UBuntu32bit box.
Any information on how enable VT-x option on my virtual box inside my virtual Ubuntu machine would be appreciated.
You simply CAN'T.
VT-x is a hardware capability:
In 2006, both Intel (VT-x) and AMD (AMD-V) introduced limited hardware virtualization support that allowed simpler virtualization software but offered very few speed benefits. Greater hardware support, which allowed substantial speed improvements, came with later processor models.
Since VT-x requires hardware capabilities to work, there's no way for the "outer" virtual machine in your nested VMs to provide that capability to the "inner" VM. The "outer" VM doesn't have any actual hardware.
If you have to run a VM inside your VM that requires some of the capabilities that VT-x provides - such as the ability to run a 64-bit OS - you can try QEMU for the "inner" virtual machines. It'll be slower since it's an emulator and not true virtualization, though.
So I have this work computer that I'd like to play fortnite on, but it doesn't have the latest version of directX installed in it so I can't just install fortnite to my flashdrive and play.
So I've been researching on getting a portable Windows 10 Virtual Machine on my flashdrive, which has fortnite installed in the VM. However, apparently Virtual Machines don't utilize the host's GPU by default. I'm trying to find out a way to let the Virtual Machine use the native GPU. I've seen that it's completely doable on a Linux host, but I can't find anything about GPU passthrough on a windows10 host.
Note: my work computer does support VT-d, and it is locked down so I can't do anything to it that requires elevated privileges like installing stuff, changing the BIOS, or booting off an external harddrive.
We've physical machine on which several virtual machines are installed using vm player. Now we are trying to install tool on one of these virtual machines, the tool require vm player, so we installed vmplayer 4.0.0 on the virtual machine. But the vmplayer gives error while installing tool like "Virtualization is incompatible with long mode on this platform. Without long mode support the virtual machine will not be able to run 64 bit code.
The visualization option on the physical machine is already enabled.
Any help on this.
I managed to get long mode working in Vmware by uninstalling Virtual PC.
No nesting or something, it simply started working.
I don't think it's possible with VMWare Player on the host since the VT is not virtualized.
According to http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2011/07/how-to-enable-support-for-nested-64bit.html?m=1
you could do it with VMWare vSphere 5
