$Id: TODO 163 2009-12-07 20:52:28Z tim $ If you are interested in contributing to this project, here's a few things you could look into: - Currently there is no way on the command line to search for exotic paths/types. For instance, if reglookup encounters an unknown VK type, it just prints it out in Hex. However, if you wanted to search specifically for that type, there is no way to do it. Similarly, it isn't possible to specify certain binary or weird characters in paths. Reglookup should take the user path and unquote each path component using the \xQQ syntax prior to searching. - It might be nice to have a way to filter results by security descriptor information. Maybe by MTIME as well. - Testing, testing, and more testing. reglookup needs to be more heavily tested on all recent Windows platforms. A regression test suite would be nice too. Some thoughts on this include a script which randomly fuzzes an existing registry file, and tries to detect crashes of reglookup when parsing it. Another test script might randomly truncate an existing registry file, which will help improve reglookup's parsing on fragmentary files. - Build system. I do not wish to use automake/autoconf in this project. I have also now decided that make is painful to use for everything. I'd like to switch to a suite of shell scripts driven by minimal make rules. If you got any ideas on this, shoot them my way. - Unicode support still needs improvement. While parsing strings seems to be decent, UTF-8 output would be nice. - Develop and solidify regfi API. Regfi should be better documented and eventually needs a set of higher-language wrappers, starting with Python and possibly moving on to Perl as well. - Documentation. The security descriptor output format needs to be documented. Also, function contracts should be added to the lower-level functions of regfi.c. - The smb_deps.h and smb_deps.c content is almost eliminated. Just need to integrate parts that are being kept into regfi or other modules. - Consider switching from libiconv to Joachim Metz's libuna for increased portability and easier builds. - Grep through the source for 'XXX', and you'll find more.
