| Scenario | Benefit |
|----------|---------|
| Malware analysis | Reconstruct attacker registry changes from memory snapshots |
| Incident response | Isolate autoruns & persistence keys from raw dumps |
| System recovery | Salvage registry data from corrupted C:\Windows\System32\config hives |
| Red teaming | Convert dumped SAM/SECURITY hives into importable reg files for offline analysis | unidumptoreg v11b5 better
