grokevt-ripdll - A tool for extracting message resources from a PE-formatted file.

input-dll
              This  is  the  PE  formatted  file  to  extract  resources  from.  (It doesn't need to have a .dll
              extension, but it is most commonly used on DLLs.)

       output-db
              The database file to store the RVA->message mapping in. If this file already exists,  it  will  be
              overwritten.  To extract the entries stored in this database, see grokevt-dumpmsgs(1).

       Probably a few. This script has not been extensively tested with some guest platforms or with non-english
       systems.

       The  documentation used as a reference for PE formatted files was not complete or not completely accurate
       in places. Much guess-and-check took place.

       Original PE header code borrowed from the pymavis project.  For more information, see:

       Message resource parsing added by Timothy D. Morgan.

       grokevt-ripdll  parses  a  PE-formatted file (modern .exe and .dll files are examples PE-formatted files)
       and extracts all message resources. These resources are then stored in a  Berkeley-style  database  file,
       which maps relative virtual addresses (RVAs) to the message resources themselves. These RVAs are what can
       be  found  in  a  windows event log file (.evt extension) to reference the proper message resource.  This
       utility is not intended to be used directly by end-users.  It is used by  grokevt-builddb(1)  to  extract
       resources from all DLL/EXEs referenced in the registry.
