Microsoft Windows Remote Registry Service (WINREG)
This is a DCE/RPC based protocol used by CIFS hosts to access the registry across a network. This dissector is described by an IDL file and is automatically generated by the Pidl compiler.
History
This protocol first appeared in Windows NT4 and is used to access the registry across a network.
Protocol dependencies
- DCE/RPC: This protocol is implemented ontop of the DCE/RPC transport. This protocol is often access from the \PIPE\winreg named pipe on IPC$ but can also be reached through a dynamically assigned TCP port. Accessing this service using TCP as transport requires the support of the EPM Endpoint Mapper service.
Example traffic
XXX - Add example traffic here (as plain text or Wireshark screenshot).
Wireshark
The WINREG dissector is partially functional and incomplete awaiting the protocol and its idl file to be fully analyzed.
Preference Settings
There are no preference setting specific to the WINREG protocol.
Example capture file
XXX - Add a simple example capture file to the SampleCaptures page and link from here (see below). Keep this file short, it's also a good idea to gzip it to make it even smaller, as Wireshark can open gzipped files automatically.
