similar to: hivexml rewrite

All, Greetings. I am new to this mailing list. We have been working with XML for digital forensics. One of the areas that we wish to create a schema for is the representation of registry entries. We are interested in hivexml as a tool for extracting the registry as an XML representation. In our discussion with possible users, we have generally come to the conclusion that it is useful to

Some of the data in names and string values were being unsafely printed, causing some types of XML processors to fail (e.g. Python's Expat). This patch checks for printability of each character and outputs base64 with an encoding attribute for unsafe data. --- xml/hivexml.c | 75 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 1 files changed, 64 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-)

Dealing with "1601-01-01T00:00:00Z" is unnecessarily awkward, especially since the value only represents a 0 found in the data.

This changeset adds byte run reporters for node and value metadata in the hivexml program. This location reporting required several new ABI functions, which required new ABI return types. One benefit to the byte run functions is additional sanity checks, which have revealed new data or parsing errors when run on M57 patents images. An example error: Image: Charlie, 2009-12-11, available at

Reporting value data in attributes has two advantages: * The output of hivexml breaks Python expat processing if binary data makes it out. This was observed in Software hives. * Not having child text makes room for child elements.

This patch adds value_byte_runs and node_byte_runs. Each byte run represents the offset and length of a data structure within the hive, one per node, and one or two per value depending on the length of the value data. These byte run functions also add additional data sanity checks as a hive is being parsed, mainly checking that a node address actually points to a node, and similarly for values.

This patch revises the value type information printed. It is also somewhat a test of how open to revision the output of a program is according to RedHat's policies, of which I am not very aware beyond strongly guaranteeing ABI compatability.

Since some modules (`getopt', for example) may copy files into the build directory, `top_builddir/lib' is needed as well as `top_srcdir/lib'. -- GNU Gnulib manual, section 2.2 Initial import This fixes an in-tree build failure on a Debian/sid system (see below). hivexml could be built out-of-tree, but it turned out that due to a missing include path, in this case the

I expect this patch to require a second version. I mainly wanted to spur discussion: * I firmly believe hivexml needs more encoding checks before printing. Base64 encoding made the most sense as hivexml already uses it elsewhere. Is this the right direction to go, to escape non-printable data? * Should there be an enumeration for encoding decisions?

hivexml on OS X was failing with a symbol-not-found error while dynamically linking. Adding iconv to libhivex fixes the issue and lets OS X process 'images/large' with hivexml. It took careful iconv autotool additions to get compilation working in Fedora as well, but these two lines build and run on OS X 10.6 and 10.8, and Fedora 17 and 18. Unfortunately, a separate issue is revealed

This patch series improves, but does not complete, OS X support for hivex. There are several outstanding issues before hivexml and hivexsh can run: * hivexsh uses open_memstream, which doesn't exist in OS X as near as I can see. Unfortunately, I'm inexperienced with autoconf, so I'm not sure how to employ AC_CHECK_FUNCS([open_memstream]) to conditionally add 'sh' to the

Hi, I'm using asterisk with chan_h323 together with gnugk. chan_h323 and gnugk were recently compiled with pwlib-1.5.2 and openh323-1.12.2 as advised. When connecting asterisk directly by ohphone (without gatekeeper), everthing is fine. When using gnugk for usage control in routed mode, I find a funny situation in asterisk's H.323 debug: == New H.323 Connection created. --
