libesedb is a library designed to access and parse Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) Database Files (EDB format). The library enables forensic analysts and security professionals to examine ESE databases used by various Microsoft applications and services. The tool supports analysis of databases from Windows Search, Windows Mail, Microsoft Exchange, and Active Directory systems. It provides programmatic access to the internal structure and data contained within EDB files, which are commonly encountered during digital forensic investigations. The library is currently in experimental status and includes planned enhancements such as multi-threading support. It comes with documentation and resources specifically focused on forensic analysis techniques for Windows Search databases and general ESE Database File analysis. libesedb serves as a foundation for developing custom tools and scripts that need to interact with ESE database files in forensic or security analysis contexts.
