-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2021-372d83d54e 2021-08-18 01:09:52.132997 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : hivex Product : Fedora 34 Version : 1.3.21 Release : 1.fc34 URL : http://libguestfs.org/ Summary : Read and write Windows Registry binary hive files Description : Hive files are the undocumented binary files 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.
'hivexregedit' (in perl-hivex) lets you export and merge to the textual regedit format.
'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 Python 3 bindings, see 'python3-hivex'.
For Ruby bindings, see 'ruby-hivex'.
