Research direction
Examine the existing secretsdump implementation in impacket/examples/secretsdump.py to understand how other secrets are extracted. Research the KDSRootkey file format and its role in Windows DPAPI. Look at the linked tool (though image broken) for inspiration, and review any related pull requests or issues in the repository. Discuss with maintainers to clarify the exact expected output and integration approach.
