Re: Windows Registry Dump
@Diez: I'm not trying to hack into somebody's computer - it is about collecting data from my company's anti-virus-parent-server. And all the information is only available in the registry (thanks Symantec...). @Tim, olso and Fredrik: THANKS - I will have a closer look at these modules. regards Dirk -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

One thing occurred to me later, Dirk: are you trying to get the conventional .reg dump file, ie something which you could reload later into the same or another computer? Or are you simply looking for a textual representation of the registry for analysis etc.? From your comment above it sounds like the latter. Be aware, btw, if you go down the .reg route (the one I suggested): the data in the files are UTF-16 encoded. TJG This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.

Re: Windows Registry Dump
Hi Tim! I want to do some analysis (as always ;-) ) and for that reason I think it's more practical to go trough a text-file. I can produce this text-file also by right-click on the key (the folder) in the registry and select Export. There one can select Text-File and the place where to save the text-file. This I want to be done by python automatically. Dirk -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Well, unless you want to go to the effort of recreating the .reg file format, it's probably worth trying to call regedit with a param or two: http://www.windowsitlibrary.com/Content/237/2.html suggests that something like: regedit /e c:\temp\desktop.reg HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop will do the business. (And it worked for me a on a simple test run). TJG This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star. The service is powered by MessageLabs.

RE: Windows Registry Dump
[Dirk Hagemann] | Does someone know how I can make a Text-Dump-File of a remote | Windows-Computer's Registry (not the whole registry - only a part of | it)? Well, your question doesn't seem to rule out this option so I thought I'd offer it: Use regedit to connect to the remote registry, then do the usual right-click Export stuff Maybe not what you wanted (doesn't use Python at all, unless you do: import os os.system (regedit) but it certainly works!

Thanks a lot for some code or a helpful link! I suggest you try asking the darker side of the internet - after all, accessing the registry remotely and all possibly privacy and security related issues that is of utmost importance to crackers and hackers. BackOrifice and your average Trojan spring into mind - maybe for a small fee the allow you to piggyback your (surely good-intended!) code on theirs!
