-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-7652 2010-04-30 01:02:56 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : hivex Product : Fedora 12 Version : 1.2.2 Release : 1.fc12 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. 'hivexregedit' 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 OCaml bindings, see 'ocaml-hivex-devel'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This contains an important fix for regedit importing. Upgrading is recommended. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #578347 - Russian translation of hivex https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=578347 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
