Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade recmd -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2.0.0'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade recmd -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2.0.0'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Description

RECmd is a tool created by Eric Zimmerman used to parse Registry hives. Registry hives are located at C:\Windows\System32\config and contain multiple hives of interest.

RECmd Use Cases

Law Enforcement

For those in Law Enforcement, this tool is useful for parsing Registry hives which can contain a wealth of artifacts that can be attributed to a specific user of interest. There are artifacts within the Windows Registry that can help prove evidence of program execution, evidence of file opening, evidence of user logon, and many more. The Registry is simply too valuable to ignore on almost any possible criminal invesitgation.

Private Sector

For those in the Private Sector, this tool is useful for parsing Registry hives which can contain possible indicators of threat actor persistence. Additionally, the user-attributable artifacts listed above can be useful when targeting the activity of compromised user accounts.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
