    All the registry info is stored in a set of files on the disk so you can get
    it with anything that allows you to read the disk.  (I don't remember the
    files off hand, the times I've done it I've had a senior investigator in the
    office assisting)
    
    You can also use 'dd' to make a bit copy of the suspect drive which can then
    be booted allowing you to access the registry using the standard windows
    tools without disturbing the integrity of the suspect drive.

    ...i don't think that the F.I.R.E matches all needs for an investigation of
    Windows .
    I am not to close with Forensics of Windows plattforms bit i am learning...
    On attempt might be the registry. A very important database which you can't
    analyse with F.I.R.E., or am i wrong ?
    Please correct me.
    
    By the way does anybody know a tool for doing that under linux ?
    At the moment i am doing a:\redump.exe | cryptcat and lesses/grep the acsii
    dump-file on my forensics notebook.
    But this means, that the System is alive and runnning! And that no trojan
    hides
    registry-trees (hives).
    
    looking forward
    Holger
