A Windows executable tool that converts large RDSv3 database files into CSV format for easier analysis and import.
An exe to convert RDSv3 DB Files back to CSV Files
This tool is designed for digital forensics and threat intelligence professionals who need to convert RDSv3 DB files, often large hash set databases from NIST, into CSV files for further analysis or integration with other tools. It is particularly useful when working with massive datasets that require format conversion to enable easier querying and processing.
The conversion process can take several hours due to the large size of the database files. Users should ensure they have sufficient disk space and memory. The config.ini file allows tuning for memory management and automation, but users should be cautious when disabling admin or hash checks. The tool is primarily tested on Windows 10 and PowerShell 5.1; compatibility with Windows 11 or earlier versions is uncertain.
