Insight

Insight

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. &#39, hivexsh&#39, is a shell you can use to interactively navigate a hive binary file. &#39, hivexregedit&#39, (in perl-hivex) lets you export and merge to the textual regedit format. &#39, hivexml&#39, 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 &#39, virt-win-reg&#39, (based on hivex technology) which can be used to query specific registry keys in an existing Windows VM. For OCaml bindings, see &#39, ocaml-hivex-devel&#39, . For Perl bindings, see &#39, perl-hivex&#39, . For Python 3 bindings, see &#39, python3-hivex&#39, . For Ruby bindings, see &#39, ruby-hivex&#39, .
