Description

This module will check the file system for a copy of unattend.xml and/or
autounattend.xml found in Windows Vista, or newer Windows systems. And then
extract sensitive information such as usernames and decoded passwords. Also
checks for '.vmimport' files that could have been created by the AWS EC2 VMIE service.
