| 3 | If you are interested in contributing to this project, here's a few |
|---|
| 4 | things you could look into: |
|---|
| 5 | |
|---|
| 6 | - Currently there is no way on the command line to search for exotic |
|---|
| 7 | paths/types. For instance, if reglookup encounters an unknown VK |
|---|
| 8 | type, it just prints it out in Hex. However, if you wanted to search |
|---|
| 9 | specifically for that type, there is no way to do it. Similarly, it |
|---|
| 10 | isn't possible to specify certain binary or weird characters in |
|---|
| 11 | paths. Reglookup should take the user path and unquote each path |
|---|
| 12 | component using the \xQQ syntax prior to searching. |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | - It might be nice to have a way to filter results by security |
|---|
| 15 | descriptor information. Maybe by MTIME as well. |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | - Testing, testing, and more testing. reglookup needs to be more |
|---|
| 18 | heavily tested on all recent Windows platforms. A regression test |
|---|
| 19 | suite would be nice too. Some thoughts on this include a script |
|---|
| 20 | which randomly fuzzes an existing registry file, and tries to detect |
|---|
| 21 | crashes of reglookup when parsing it. Another test script might |
|---|
| 22 | randomly truncate an existing registry file, which will help improve |
|---|
| 23 | reglookup's parsing on fragmentary files. |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | - Unicode support still needs improvement. While parsing strings seems |
|---|
| 26 | to be decent, UTF-8 output would be nice. |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | - Develop and solidify regfi API. Regfi should be better documented and |
|---|
| 29 | eventually needs a set of higher-language wrappers, starting with Python |
|---|
| 30 | and possibly moving on to Perl as well. |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | - Documentation. The security descriptor output format needs to be |
|---|
| 33 | documented. Also, function contracts should be added to the |
|---|
| 34 | lower-level functions of regfi.c. |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | - Consider switching from libiconv to Joachim Metz's libuna for |
|---|
| 37 | increased portability and easier builds. |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | - Grep through the source for 'XXX', and you'll find more. |

| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | 1.0 RELEASE |
|---|
| 44 | =========== |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | Add fields/methods for accessing security descriptors in pyregfi |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | Key caching |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | Add function to obtain path list from iterator |
|---|
| 51 | |
|---|
| 52 | convert MTIME structure to uint64_t if possible |
|---|
| 53 | |
|---|
| 54 | investigate why file descriptors can't be directly used in Windows |
|---|
| 55 | |
|---|
| 56 | Fill in and update remaining regfi/pyregfi API documentation |
|---|
