Question

Hello有没有人知道如何阅读.evt /.evtx这些Windows事件日志文件不能使用提供的API阅读，我想在FILE I/O中使用C/C++ apis阅读它们。

或者如何将这些文件转换为.txt，我知道splunk这样做但不确定他们是如何做到的。

我可能会迟到但很好，它可以帮助未来的读者：

要阅读带有标准库的 .evt 文件（比方说在C ++中），您应该知道ELF_LOGFILE_HEADER structure和EVENTLOGRECORD structure。此外，here是事件日志文件格式。

现在一切都变得简单了，你要做的是：

予。声明结构

日志标题结构

typedef unsigned long ULONG;
typedef struct _EVENTLOGHEADER {
  ULONG HeaderSize;
  ULONG Signature;
  ULONG MajorVersion;
  ULONG MinorVersion;
  ULONG StartOffset;
  ULONG EndOffset;
  ULONG CurrentRecordNumber;
  ULONG OldestRecordNumber;
  ULONG MaxSize;
  ULONG Flags;
  ULONG Retention;
  ULONG EndHeaderSize;
} EVENTLOGHEADER, *PEVENTLOGHEADER;

日志记录结构

typedef unsigned long DWORD;
typedef unsigned short WORD;
typedef struct _EVENTLOGRECORD {
    DWORD Length;
    DWORD Reserved;
    DWORD RecordNumber;
    DWORD TimeGenerated;
    DWORD TimeWritten;
    DWORD EventID;
    WORD  EventType;
    WORD  NumStrings;
    WORD  EventCategory;
    WORD  ReservedFlags;
    DWORD ClosingRecordNumber;
    DWORD StringOffset;
    DWORD UserSidLength;
    DWORD UserSidOffset;
    DWORD DataLength;
    DWORD DataOffset;
} EVENTLOGRECORD, *PEVENTLOGRECORD;

首先声明一个std::ifstream变量来打开并读取文件（二进制）

using namespace std;
ifstream file;
file.open(fileName,ios::in|ios::binary);

if(file.is_open()){
    _EVENTLOGHEADER logheader;
    _EVENTLOGRECORD logRecord;

    //Reading the header
    file.read((char*)&logheader,sizeof(_EVENTLOGHEADER));

    int startOfLog;
    //Loop on every record
    for(unsigned int numberFile=0;numberFile < logheader.CurrentRecordNumber -1;numberFile++){
        //Save the position
        startOfLog = file.tellg();
        //Read log record
        file.read((char*)&logRecord,sizeof(_EVENTLOGRECORD));

        /*******************************************************
        Here are the other information (section 'Remarks' on the 'EVENTLOGRECORD structure' link 
        ********************************************************/

        //Reading sourcename
        wchar_t buffData;
        wstring SourceName;
        file.read((char*)&buffData,sizeof(wchar_t));
        while(buffData!=_T('\0')){
            SourceName.push_back(buffData);
            file.read((char*)&buffData,sizeof(wchar_t));
        }

        //Reading computer name
        wstring ComputerName;
        file.read((char*)&buffData,sizeof(wchar_t));
        while(buffData!=_T('\0')){
            ComputerName.push_back(buffData);
            file.read((char*)&buffData,sizeof(wchar_t));
        }

        //Sets the position to the SID offset 
        int readCursor = startOfLog + logRecord.UserSidOffset;
        file.seekg(readCursor);

        char * userSid = NULL;
        if(logRecord.UserSidLength != 0)
        {
            userSid = (PCHAR)malloc(logRecord.UserSidLength);
            file.read(userSid,logRecord.UserSidLength); //Reading the sid
            //Here you can work on the SiD (but you need win32 API).If you need it, I could show you how i deal with this sid 
            free(userSid);
        }

        //Sets the position to the Strings offset
        readCursor = startOfLog + logRecord.StringOffset;
        file.seekg(readCursor);
        wstring buffString;
        vector<wstring> allStrings;
        //Reading all the strings
        for(int i=0; i< logRecord.NumStrings; i++) {
            file.read((char*)&buffData,sizeof(wchar_t));
            while(buffData!=_T('\0')){
                buffString.push_back(buffData);
                file.read((char*)&buffData,sizeof(wchar_t));
            }
            allStrings.push_back(buffString);
            buffString.clear();
        }

        //Sets the position to the Data offset
        readCursor = startOfLog + logRecord.DataOffset;
        file.seekg(readCursor);
        unsigned char *Data = (unsigned char *)malloc(logRecord.DataLength*sizeof(unsigned char));
        file.read((char*)Data,logRecord.DataLength); //Lecture des données

        //Sets the position to the end of log offset
        readCursor = startOfLog + logRecord.Length - sizeof(DWORD) ;
        file.seekg(readCursor);
        DWORD length;
        file.read((char*)&length,sizeof(DWORD));

        //Do what you want with the log record

        //Clean before reading next log
        ComputerName.clear();
        SourceName.clear();
        allStrings.clear();
        free(Data);
    }
}

希望它可以帮助某人，

直接读取.evt / .evtx文件
