These changes created new challenges when extracting Registry hives from hibernation and crash dump files.
Important Notes: Windows 10 圆4 Build 17134 introduced significant changes which include Registry hives being held in the memory of a separate process instead of the kernel address space. Crash dumps can be any type except minidumps. HiveRecon requires only a crash dump itself as input. Registry Hive Extraction from Crash Dumps: Accordingly, the input file options are:ĪctiveMemory.bin + hiberfil.sys + pagefile.sys Merging a swap file from the same Windows session as the hibernation, in order to improve the health of the extracted hives, is also supported. HiveRecon requires reconstructed active memory from the hiberfil.sys (we strongly recommend performing reconstruction with Hibernation Recon) in addition to the hiberfil.sys itself as input. Registry Hive Extraction from Hibernation Files: In other words, in some circumstances you may want to go get a coffee (or go to sleep, coming back to your office refreshed for digital forensics!) while HiveRecon is running.Īrsenal recommends running HiveRecon in an elevated console so that output is sent to the current, rather than a background, console.
Please note that our primary goals with our CLI-based tools include accuracy and reliability, with performance being a secondary concern. We are releasing HiveRecon as a stand-alone CLI-based tool now in order to get extremely powerful and unique functionality (used by Arsenal internally) in the hands of our customers more quickly. HiveRecon functionality will be incorporated into both Hibernation Recon and Registry Recon in the future. HiveRecon also extracts volatile hives and can incorporate swap files from the same hibernation session to extract even healthier Registry hives than if using a hibernation file alone. HiveRecon extracts Registry hives from Windows hibernation and crash dump files, often extracting hives when other solutions have completely failed and extracting healthier (more intact) hives when other solutions have appeared to run successfully. Please read “Arsenal Recon – End User License Agreement.txt” carefully before using this software.
