    I recall using an app way back when I used to root and haxor all the mobiles that would do this. Kind of a virtualbox for the Nexus phones/tablets, but it needed root to do it. Will have to look into this, would be interesting if it can do so in user space somehow.

    Edit: Damn, still needs root. Was a longshot to be able to hook into system resources without it but was hoping for some bridge function.

      That bridge function would still need root (or critical level security holes) to be installed, if the ROM doesn’t ship it.

        Makes sense, I’m so accustomed to making virtual machines and such that it becomes just a thing but inevitably at some point admin access was required to create the hypervisor, the vnic, a virtual switch, etc. Without that restriction a piece of malware could readily exfiltrate data past a local protection by just making it’s own new pathway through on the fly or any number of other unpleasant things.
