Re: Accessing registry through command line

You can use this syntax (I've done it several times on a pen-test)

regedit -e <filename> <hive\key>

So, say I want to pull the VNC keys so I can see the encrypted password, I
can use this command:

regedit -e vnckeys.reg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL

(this will work provided your user has read privies over the key)

You can then move the test.reg into to webroot so that you can download it.

Steve

I have remote execution of code through a unicode vulnerability on an IIS
box.  I need to know if there is a way to get registry keys using only
command line tools that are on a default NT install.  (No file upload, not
even using echo >, etc.)  Perhaps something using rundll or somesuch thing?

Thanks.
