Documentation
Command line Registry access, including batch mode!
See the manual for more examples.
If you get an error message like "error loading plugin" when running RECmd after downloading the ZIP archive and extracting it using Windows' ZIP tool, use the following PowerShell command to unblock the DLLs:
PS> Unblock-File .\Plugins\*.dll
Batch Files
RECmd uses Batch Files to make your Registry output more actionable. Learn about Batch Files here!
As of September 2021, there is a README specifically for the Kroll_Batch file used by RECmd and KAPE. Find it here!

out Directory to save updated hives to. Only dirty hives with logs applied will end up in --out directory
ca When true, always copy hives to --out directory, even if they aren't dirty. Default is TRUE
cn When true, compress names for profile based hives. Default is TRUE
debug Show debug information during processing
trace Show trace information during processing

Documentation
RLA is a single purpose tool to replay transaction logs in Registry hives. This is useful when parsing with tools that don't recognize and replay transaction logs on their own.
Download Eric Zimmerman's Tools
All of Eric Zimmerman's tools can be downloaded here. Use the Get-ZimmermanTools PowerShell script to automate the download and updating of the EZ Tools suite. Additionally, you can automate each of these tools using KAPE!
