Summary : Read and write Windows Registry binary hive files
URL : http://libguestfs.org/
License : LGPLv2
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.
