Description Jia Yuan Lo 2018-11-04 16:56:46 UTC 
Description of problem:
chntpw fails to read anything, be it Windows SAM files or any files

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.00.140201

How reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /path/to/SYSTEM
2. chntpw -e SYSTEM
3. fail to read file

Actual results (any files):
chntpw version 1.00 140201, (c) Petter N Hagen
openHive(): read error: : No such file or directory
chntpw: Unable to open/read a hive, exiting..


Expected results (SAM files):
chntpw version 0.99.6 110511 , (c) Petter N Hagen
Hive </path/to/SYSTEM> name (from header): <SYSTEM>
ROOT KEY at offset: 0x001020 * Subkey indexing type is: 686c <lh>
File size 18350080 [1180000] bytes, containing 3917 pages (+ 1 headerpage)
Used for data: 280256/18177568 blocks/bytes, unused: 140/22592 blocks/bytes.

Simple registry editor. ? for help.

> 


Expected results (other files):
chntpw version 0.99.6 110511 , (c) Petter N Hagen
openHive(/home/jylo/.bash_history): File does not seem to be a registry hive!
Simple registry editor. ? for help.
get_abs_path: Not a 'nk' node!

> 


Additional info:
0.99 still works fine for reading win10-1803, but not 1.00...

Note that chntpw can tell the difference between a folder and a file, but can't seem to read ANY file...

Patch of reading Hive

Please try this patch. It is working for me
Comment 4 Conrad Meyer 2019-06-22 20:19:58 UTC 
Thanks for pointing out the problem Oleg.  I see the mistake now.  I think I would do something slightly different and also check for r == 0, but the patch looks mostly good to me.
