[45]5        reglookup - windows NT+ registry reader/lookup tool
[9]6
7
8=SYNOPSIS=
9        reglookup [options] <REGISTRY_FILE>
10
11
12=DESCRIPTION=
[45]13        reglookup is designed to read windows registry elements and
14        print them out to stdout in a CSV-like format.  It has filtering
15        options to narrow the focus of the output.  This tool is
16        designed to work with on windows NT/2K/XP/2K3 registries, though
17        your mileage may vary.
[9]18
19
20=OPTIONS=
[45]21        -p  <PREFIX_FILTER>     
22                Specify a path prefix filter.  Only keys/values under
23                this registry path will be output.
[9]24
[45]25        -t  <TYPE_FILTER>
[9]26                Specify a type filter.  Only elements which match this
27                registry data type will be printed.  Acceptable values
[45]28                are: SZ,EXPAND_SZ,BINARY,DWORD,DWORD_BE,LINK,MULTI_SZ,
29                     RSRC_LIST,RSRC_DESC,RSRC_REQ_LIST,KEY
[9]30
[47]31        -h      Enables the printing of a column header row. (default)
32
33        -H      Disables the printing of a column header row.
34
[45]35        -s      Adds four additional columns to output containing
36                information from key security descriptors.  The columns
37                are: owner, group, sacl, dacl.
38                (This feature's output probably contains bugs right now.)
39
40        -S      Disables the printing of security descriptor
[47]41                information. (default)
[45]42
[9]43        -v      Verbose output.
[45]44                (Currently does little to nothing.)
[9]45
46
47        REGISTRY_FILE
48                Required argument.  Specifies the location of the
49                registry file to read.  Typically, these files will be
[45]50                found on a NTFS partition under
[9]51                %SystemRoot%/system32/config.
52
53
54=EXAMPLES=
[45]55        To read and print the contents of an entire system registry
56        file:
[9]57
[28]58          **reglookup /mnt/win/c/WINNT/system32/config/system**
[9]59
60        To limit the output to just those entries under the Services
61        key:
62
[45]63          **reglookup -p /ControlSet002/Services /mnt/win/c/WINNT/system32/config/system**
[9]64
[45]65        To limit the output to all registry values of type BINARY:
[9]66
[45]67          **reglookup -t BINARY /mnt/win/c/WINNT/system32/config/system**
[9]68       
[45]69        And to limit the output to BINARY values under the Services key:
[9]70
[45]71          **reglookup -t BINARY -p /ControlSet002/Services /mnt/win/c/WINNT/system32/config/system**
[9]72
73
74=BUGS=
75        The current incarnation of this program has only been tested on
[45]76        windows 2K/XP.
[9]77
[49]78        Verbose output is not working.  MTIME and SID conversions
79        haven't been checked for accuracy.
[45]80
[9]81        You'll notice that registry paths aren't all the same as the
[45]82        ones the equivalents you see in the windows registry editor.
83        Don't ask me why that is.  I just work here.
[9]84
85        This software should be considered unstable at this time.

87
88=CREDITS=
[45]89        This program was initially based on editreg.c by
90        Richard Sharpe.  It has since been rewritten to use a modified
91        version the regfio library written by Gerald Carter.  Heavy
92        modifications to the library and the original command line
93        interface have been done by Timothy D. Morgan.
