-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-13727 2013-07-26 21:42:42 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : hivex Product : Fedora 19 Version : 1.3.8 Release : 1.fc19 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' 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 Ruby bindings, see 'ruby-hivex'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Contains a fix for keys that use li-records for subkeys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Jul 25 2013 Richard W.M.
