Available Packages
Name : hivex
Version : 1.3.23

Size : 79 k
Source : hivex-1.3.23-4.fc38.src.rpm
Repository : fedora
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' (in perl-hivex) 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.
