Parsing the Windows Registry

Lately, Darien Kindlund has been looking at optimizing the time it takes the honeyclient to parse large Windows registry hives. Darien has documented the process of this optimization methodology. The Windows registry parsing needed to be optimized because we would like to improve the speed of honeyclient integrity checks. This methodology, which was implemented based on previous work will significantly improve honeyclient operation times.

We hope to have a new package released in the next week or so, with the optimization implementation.
