\subsubsection{System Management Mode Code}  System Management Mode (SMM) is more privileged than VMX-root mode. SMM provides power management features and backward compatibility. SMM is partially documented and described in the following papers by K.Zmudzinski [38], S.Embleton [39]. Opportunities of SMM to acquire memory dump were described in the following papers [40, 41].   Practical applicability of this method is hindered by installing of SMM dispatcher in general motherboard [42]. Another disadvantage of this approach is the necessity of PC rebooting that is not always possible [30]. This approach can be applied in some older models of motherboards. Adapting this method to new computers requires serious and non-trivial research.
