Re: [Libguestfs] hivexml rewrite
Simson, et al,
The XML produced by hivexml is somewhat difficult to work with. It
also has
some problems in that it doesn't properly quote strings, and doesn't atke
into account other important information. I have come up with a new form and
would like to modify hivexml to output and ingest the new form.
My question for this group:
1. Is anybody using hivexml?
2. Is it important to be able to read the old XML format?
3. We have had a hard time building hivexml on non-RedHat systems. Is there
any objection to my making this a standalone program?
Are you going to just work on the xml portion of hivex, or all of it?
I've got some suggestions on making (at least) the python bindings
easier to use for forensics scripts. And having the xml generation in
Python would be great.
