-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-16565 2011-11-30 01:31:06 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : hivex Product : Fedora 16 Version : 1.3.3 Release : 1.fc16 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 OCaml bindings, see 'ocaml-hivex-devel'. For Perl bindings, see 'perl-hivex'. For Python bindings, see 'python-hivex'. For Ruby bindings, see 'ruby-hivex'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to hivex 1.3.3. - Includes update to latest gnulib (RHBZ#756981). - Support for Python 3 upstream (RHBZ#752916). - Syntax for deleting registry keys is fixed (RHBZ#737944). - Various fixes to hivexml. - Additional API functions for getting metadata length of nodes and values. - Fix OCaml binding of Hivex.value_type. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Nov 29 2011 Richard W.M.
