Does a wild card not work for that? A *
Thank you for the very quick response! I tried using KeyPath: ROOT* and got no results
What does just
*
Do
cmdline is .\RECmd.exe -f .\SOFTWARE --nl --bn .\BatchExamples\Test.reb --csv .
Used KeyPath: * Got:
If it's in a batch file you'll have to put that single star in single quotes because yaml doesn't like it otherwise
Putting a single star in single quotes only gave me details about the root path itself without detailing the keys it holds, unlike what I get when using "--kn ROOT\*"
Again, I truly appreciate your assistance with this issue!!
its not the general use case for the tool, in batch mode, to get a list of keys. the root key is generally not specified at all
The reason I'm doing this, is that I want to dump the keys under ROOT to CSV, and it's impossible with --kn unfortunately. I have a case in which a malware creates a key under root, but it's a generated string so in order to detect it I need to view the timestamps of all keys under root
Is there a way to export the keys under "ROOT\*" (not recursively) to CSV?
@AndrewRathbun have you ever tried this?
@AndrewRathbun have you ever tried this?
I'll have to give this a go after hours! I'll report back
Alright, sorry for the delay on this.
I made a test Batch file, ROOTtest.reb

First things first, I collected my registry hives using this KAPE command:
.\kape.exe --tsource C: --tdest C:\temp\RegHiveTest\tout --tflush --target RegistryHives --debug
and I ran this RECmd command against the aforementioned hives using the following command:
.\RECmd.exe -d "C:\temp\RegHiveTest\tout" --bn "C:\temp\ROOTtest.reb" --nl false --csv C:\temp\RegHiveTest
This resulted in what I believe to be what @DFIR-Purim is looking for:
Nothing beyond ROOT\*
was grabbed using the above ROOTtest.reb
batch file. If we want this to be in production, I can clean it up a bit and name it better, like ROOTKeyDumpNonRecursive.reb
or similar. Thoughts?
@DFIR-Purim any feedback on the above?
@AndrewRathbun we appreciate all your amazing work! Unfortunately the person with whom you communicated is no longer a DFIR analyst. If our team ever gets to use the new feature you've added, we'll make sure to update you.
Ok xool
RECmd version # 2.0.0.0
Describe the bug When using --kn, I can successfully use the alias "ROOT\" to get all keys under the root path, without the need to know the root path name in advance. However, when using --bn, "ROOT" alias does not work. Within the hive I'm analyzing, the root path is named "CsiTool-CreateHive-{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}" and the only method in which I was successful in fetching the data I wanted was defining: KeyPath: CsiTool-CreateHive-{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}\
The results were:
To Reproduce Mentioned above
Expected behavior Mentioned above
Additional context I hope I made sense
