1//! Windows SAM hive artifact extractor.
2//!
3//! Extracts local user account data from a SAM registry hive.
4//!
5//! Key paths (SAM hive):
6//! - `SAM\Domains\Account\Users\Names\<username>` — username subkeys
7//! - `SAM\Domains\Account\Users\<RID_hex>\F`      — account flags / timestamps
8//! - `SAM\Domains\Account\Users\<RID_hex>\V`      — binary user data (not decoded here)
