Discover potential timestamps within the Windows Registry

Many programs and actions save timestamps within the Windows Registry for their own personal use. We wanted a way to discover as many of these timestamps as possible in the event that they could prove interesting or useful to forensic efforts. This script attempts to perform a bruteforce conversion of data in the registry into many of the different accepted timestamp formats that exist. If the data appears to convert properly, we then perform a variety of sanity checks on it to reduce the vast number of false positives resulting from the bruteforce techniques. A simple example may be that we discard all timestamps occuring before the Windows installation date. We may also apply a filter range to further reduce the results.
