Forensic artifact decoders for Windows Registry
Documentation
//! Windows SAM hive artifact extractor.
//!
//! Extracts local user account data from a SAM registry hive.
//!
//! Key paths (SAM hive):
//! - `SAM\Domains\Account\Users\Names\<username>` — username subkeys
//! - `SAM\Domains\Account\Users\<RID_hex>\F`      — account flags / timestamps
//! - `SAM\Domains\Account\Users\<RID_hex>\V`      — binary user data (not decoded here)
