EVTX to Excel Converter

A high-performance Python utility to convert Windows Event Log (.evtx) files into structured Excel spreadsheets.

Features

• High-Performance Parsing: Uses a Rust-backed EVTX parser for maximum speed and reliability.
• Data Integrity: Automatically handles complex XML field structures (e.g., EventID with Qualifiers) and extracts pure values.
• Smart Flattening: Deeply nested EventData is dynamically flattened into clean Excel columns.
• Batch Processing: Scans the data/ directory and processes all .evtx files found.

Compatibility

• Supported Versions: Compatible with all modern Windows versions that use the .evtx format (Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11 and Windows Server 2008+).
• Not Supported: Legacy .evt files from Windows XP or Server 2003 are not supported as they use a different binary format.

Installation

1. Clone this repository or download the source.
2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Place your Windows Event Log (.evtx) files in the data/ folder.
2. Run the converter:

   python evtx_converter.py

3. The resulting .xlsx files will be generated in the root directory.

Note on Privacy

Windows Event Logs often contain sensitive information. This project includes a .gitignore configured to prevent .evtx and .xlsx files from being accidentally uploaded to version control.
