21 A utility to edit a Windows NT/2K etc registry file.
23 Many of the ideas in here come from other people and software.
24 I first looked in Wine in misc/registry.c and was also influenced by
25 http://www.wednesday.demon.co.uk/dosreg.html
27 Which seems to contain comments from someone else. I reproduce them here
28 incase the site above disappears. It actually comes from
29 http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/WinReg.txt.
31 The goal here is to read the registry into memory, manipulate it, and then
32 write it out if it was changed by any actions of the user.
34 The windows NT registry has 2 different blocks, where one can occur many
40 "regf" is obviosly the abbreviation for "Registry file". "regf" is the
41 signature of the header-block which is always 4kb in size, although only
42 the first 64 bytes seem to be used and a checksum is calculated over
43 the first 0x200 bytes only!
46 0x00000000 D-Word ID: ASCII-"regf" = 0x66676572
47 0x00000004 D-Word ???? //see struct REGF
48 0x00000008 D-Word ???? Always the same value as at 0x00000004
49 0x0000000C Q-Word last modify date in WinNT date-format
54 0x00000024 D-Word Offset of 1st key record
55 0x00000028 D-Word Size of the data-blocks (Filesize-4kb)
57 0x000001FC D-Word Sum of all D-Words from 0x00000000 to
58 0x000001FB //XOR of all words. Nigel
60 I have analyzed more registry files (from multiple machines running
61 NT 4.0 german version) and could not find an explanation for the values
62 marked with ???? the rest of the first 4kb page is not important...
66 I don't know what "hbin" stands for, but this block is always a multiple
69 Inside these hbin-blocks the different records are placed. The memory-
70 management looks like a C-compiler heap management to me...
75 0x0000 D-Word ID: ASCII-"hbin" = 0x6E696268
76 0x0004 D-Word Offset from the 1st hbin-Block
77 0x0008 D-Word Offset to the next hbin-Block
78 0x001C D-Word Block-size
80 The values in 0x0008 and 0x001C should be the same, so I don't know
81 if they are correct or swapped...
83 From offset 0x0020 inside a hbin-block data is stored with the following
87 0x0000 D-Word Data-block size //this size must be a
91 If the size field is negative (bit 31 set), the corresponding block
92 is free and has a size of -blocksize!
94 That does not seem to be true. All block lengths seem to be negative! (Richard Sharpe)
96 The data is stored as one record per block. Block size is a multiple
97 of 4 and the last block reaches the next hbin-block, leaving no room.
99 Records in the hbin-blocks
100 ==========================
104 The nk-record can be treated as a kombination of tree-record and
105 key-record of the win 95 registry.
109 The lf-record is the counterpart to the RGKN-record (the
114 The vk-record consists information to a single value.
118 sk (? Security Key ?) is the ACL of the registry.
122 The value-lists contain information about which values are inside a
123 sub-key and don't have a header.
127 The datas of the registry are (like the value-list) stored without a
130 All offset-values are relative to the first hbin-block and point to the
131 block-size field of the record-entry. to get the file offset, you have to add
132 the header size (4kb) and the size field (4 bytes)...
137 0x0000 Word ID: ASCII-"nk" = 0x6B6E
138 0x0002 Word for the root-key: 0x2C, otherwise 0x20 //key symbolic links 0x10. Nigel
139 0x0004 Q-Word write-date/time in windows nt notation
140 0x0010 D-Word Offset of Owner/Parent key
141 0x0014 D-Word number of sub-Keys
142 0x001C D-Word Offset of the sub-key lf-Records
143 0x0024 D-Word number of values
144 0x0028 D-Word Offset of the Value-List
145 0x002C D-Word Offset of the sk-Record
147 0x0030 D-Word Offset of the Class-Name //see NK structure for the use of these fields. Nigel
148 0x0044 D-Word Unused (data-trash) //some kind of run time index. Does not appear to be important. Nigel
149 0x0048 Word name-length
150 0x004A Word class-name length
156 0x0000 D-Word Offset 1st Value
157 0x0004 D-Word Offset 2nd Value
158 0x???? D-Word Offset nth Value
160 To determine the number of values, you have to look at the owner-nk-record!
165 0x0000 Word ID: ASCII-"vk" = 0x6B76
166 0x0002 Word name length
167 0x0004 D-Word length of the data //if top bit is set when offset contains data. Nigel
168 0x0008 D-Word Offset of Data
169 0x000C D-Word Type of value
171 0x0012 Word Unused (data-trash)
174 If bit 0 of the flag-word is set, a name is present, otherwise the value has no name (=default)
176 If the data-size is lower 5, the data-offset value is used to store the data itself!
181 0x0001 RegSZ: character string (in UNICODE!)
182 0x0002 ExpandSZ: string with "%var%" expanding (UNICODE!)
183 0x0003 RegBin: raw-binary value
184 0x0004 RegDWord: Dword
185 0x0007 RegMultiSZ: multiple strings, seperated with 0
191 0x0000 Word ID: ASCII-"lf" = 0x666C
192 0x0002 Word number of keys
193 0x0004 ???? Hash-Records
198 0x0000 D-Word Offset of corresponding "nk"-Record
199 0x0004 D-Word ASCII: the first 4 characters of the key-name, padded with 0's. Case sensitiv!
201 Keep in mind, that the value at 0x0004 is used for checking the data-consistency! If you change the
202 key-name you have to change the hash-value too!
204 //These hashrecords must be sorted low to high within the lf record. Nigel.
208 (due to the complexity of the SAM-info, not clear jet)
209 (This is just a security descriptor in the data. R Sharpe.)
213 0x0000 Word ID: ASCII-"sk" = 0x6B73
215 0x0004 D-Word Offset of previous "sk"-Record
216 0x0008 D-Word Offset of next "sk"-Record
217 0x000C D-Word usage-counter
218 0x0010 D-Word Size of "sk"-record in bytes
220 relative security desciptor. Nigel
221 ???? ???? Security and auditing settings...
224 The usage counter counts the number of references to this
225 "sk"-record. You can use one "sk"-record for the entire registry!
227 Windows nt date/time format
228 ===========================
229 The time-format is a 64-bit integer which is incremented every
230 0,0000001 seconds by 1 (I don't know how accurate it realy is!)
231 It starts with 0 at the 1st of january 1601 0:00! All values are
232 stored in GMT time! The time-zone is important to get the real
235 Common values for win95 and win-nt
236 ==================================
237 Offset values marking an "end of list", are either 0 or -1 (0xFFFFFFFF).
238 If a value has no name (length=0, flag(bit 0)=0), it is treated as the
240 If a value has no data (length=0), it is displayed as empty.
242 simplyfied win-3.?? registry:
243 =============================
246 | next rec. |---+ +----->+------------+
247 | first sub | | | | Usage cnt. |
248 | name | | +-->+------------+ | | length |
249 | value | | | | next rec. | | | text |------->+-------+
250 +-----------+ | | | name rec. |--+ +------------+ | xxxxx |
251 +------------+ | | value rec. |-------->+------------+ +-------+
252 v | +------------+ | Usage cnt. |
253 +-----------+ | | length |
254 | next rec. | | | text |------->+-------+
255 | first sub |------+ +------------+ | xxxxx |
260 Greatly simplyfied structure of the nt-registry:
261 ================================================
263 +---------------------------------------------------------------+
266 +---------+ +---------->+-----------+ +----->+---------+ |
267 | "nk" | | | lf-rec. | | | nk-rec. | |
268 | ID | | | # of keys | | | parent |---+
269 | Date | | | 1st key |--+ | .... |
270 | parent | | +-----------+ +---------+
272 | values |--------------------->+----------+
273 | SK-rec. |---------------+ | 1. value |--> +----------+
274 | class |--+ | +----------+ | vk-rec. |
275 +---------+ | | | .... |
276 v | | data |--> +-------+
277 +------------+ | +----------+ | xxxxx |
278 | Class name | | +-------+
281 +---------+ +---------+
282 +----->| next sk |--->| Next sk |--+
283 | +---| prev sk |<---| prev sk | |
284 | | | .... | | ... | |
285 | | +---------+ +---------+ |
288 | +--------------------+ |

293 Hope this helps.... (Although it was "fun" for me to uncover this things,
294 it took me several sleepless nights ;)
