# Introduction

This page contains the steps needed to add additional VMProtect 2 virtual instruction profiles to VMProfiler. Understand that these instructions are for version 1.8 and may be different in later versions. 

# Example - Existing Profile

Consider the `ADDQ` profile which is displayed below which can be found inside of `add.cpp`

```cpp
vm::handler::profile_t addq = {
    // ADD [RBP+8], RAX
    // PUSHFQ
    // POP [RBP]
    "ADDQ",
    ADDQ,
    NULL,
    { { // ADD [RBP+8], RAX
        []( const zydis_decoded_instr_t &instr ) -> bool {
            return instr.mnemonic == ZYDIS_MNEMONIC_ADD && instr.operands[ 0 ].type == ZYDIS_OPERAND_TYPE_MEMORY &&
                   instr.operands[ 0 ].mem.base == ZYDIS_REGISTER_RBP &&
                   instr.operands[ 0 ].mem.disp.value == 0x8 &&
                   instr.operands[ 1 ].type == ZYDIS_OPERAND_TYPE_REGISTER &&
                   instr.operands[ 1 ].reg.value == ZYDIS_REGISTER_RAX;
        },
        // PUSHFQ
        []( const zydis_decoded_instr_t &instr ) -> bool { return instr.mnemonic == ZYDIS_MNEMONIC_PUSHFQ; },
        // POP [RBP]
        []( const zydis_decoded_instr_t &instr ) -> bool {
            return instr.mnemonic == ZYDIS_MNEMONIC_POP && instr.operands[ 0 ].type == ZYDIS_OPERAND_TYPE_MEMORY &&
                   instr.operands[ 0 ].mem.base == ZYDIS_REGISTER_RBP;
        } } } };
```
