The project positions itself as a cross-platform parser for Windows EVTX files, implemented in safe Rust, with XML, JSON, and JSON Lines output paths. By the 0.12.x series the README emphasized multithreaded parsing, recovery of missing records or chunks, offline WEVT template rendering, WebAssembly-backed local viewing, and release binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The package has visible adoption in Rust and package-manager communities: crates.io reported more than 212,000 total downloads and Homebrew shipped evtx 0.12.2 with recent install analytics. The repository also links pyevtx-rs as Python bindings around the same Rust core. Its niche is forensic and incident-response tooling rather than general-purpose logging. The README compares it directly with python-evtx, libevtx, Go EVTX parsers, and pyevtx-rs, which reflects its role in a small but performance-sensitive parser ecosystem. ### Wie es verwendet wird The main CLI, evtx_dump, converts .evtx files to XML, JSON, or JSON Lines, can write to files, can read from stdin, and can be combined with tools such as fd, xargs, and jq for batch processing. As a library, evtx exposes EvtxParser for iterating over records from Rust code. Optional WEVT template-cache support lets users extract templates from provider binaries and render records that otherwise fail because of missing template data. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren Package maintainers care about evtx because it is a modern, cross-platform replacement candidate for older EVTX parsers that were often tied to Python or C libraries. It also has the classic package-nerd appeal of a small CLI wrapping a fast library with stable machine-readable output. The project is especially useful in Unix pipelines that need to process Windows forensic artifacts without a Windows host. ### Zeitleiste - 2019: Repository created and first GitHub release published. - 2026: README benchmarked evtx 0.12.2 and documented PGO-built release binaries for Linux and macOS. - 2026: crates.io reported evtx 0.12.2 as the maximum version with more than 212,000 total downloads. ### Related projects - pyevtx-rs provides Python bindings for the same Rust core. - The README benchmarks against python-evtx, libevtx, Velocidex evtx, and golang-evtx. ### Quellen - - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** evtx - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Nix - evtx: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ev/evtx/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Verwandte Links - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/de/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/de/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/de/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://pkg.so/de/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [rust](https://pkg.so/de/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [chainsaw](https://pkg.so/de/brew/chainsaw/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, forensics, rust, security. - [afflib](https://pkg.so/de/brew/afflib/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, forensics, security. - [ssdeep](https://pkg.so/de/brew/ssdeep/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, forensics, security. - [dcfldd](https://pkg.so/de/brew/dcfldd/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, forensics, security. - [dc3dd](https://pkg.so/de/brew/dc3dd/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, forensics, security. - [mac-robber](https://pkg.so/de/brew/mac-robber/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, forensics, security. - [binwalk](https://pkg.so/de/brew/binwalk/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, forensics, security. - [sleuthkit](https://pkg.so/de/brew/sleuthkit/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, forensics, security. - [regipy](https://pkg.so/de/brew/regipy/) - Security-sensitive metadata or terminology overlaps.
