wozmon.sh run will start Wozmon in a QEMU virtual machine.

Does it also run without the virtual machine?

From the author's BareMetal exokernel repository:

> Physical and virtual hardware support with full virtualization, using x86 hardware virtualization whenever available (it is on most modern x86-64 CPU's). In principle BareMetal should run on any x86-64 hardware platform, even on a physical x86-64 computer, given appropriate drivers. Officially, we develop on QEMU and VirtualBox, which means that you can run BareMetal on both Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Apple macOS.

There's no indication of specific real-world testing, though.

Why would it not?
Should have been more specific, can I run it on Linux or Windows and mess with the memory content? So why not? Because of dependencies on BareMetal or having to overcome the isolation build into the operating system it runs on top of.
