-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2010-2330 2010-03-02 23:42:00 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : hivex Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 1.2.0 Release : 2.el5.2 URL : http://libguestfs.org/ Summary : Read and write Windows Registry binary hive files Description : Hive files are the undocumented binary blobs that Windows uses to store the Windows Registry on disk. Hivex is a library that can read and write to these files.
'hivexsh' is a shell you can use to interactively navigate a hive binary file.
'hivexml' can be used to convert a hive file to a more useful XML format.
In order to get access to the hive files themselves, you can copy them from a Windows machine. They are usually found in %systemroot%\system32\config. For virtual machines we recommend using libguestfs or guestfish to copy out these files. libguestfs also provides a useful high-level tool called 'virt-win-reg' (based on hivex technology) which can be used to query specific registry keys in an existing Windows VM.
For Perl bindings, see 'perl-hivex'.
For OCaml bindings, see 'ocaml-hivex-devel'.
