Hi,
Sorry to destroy your sense of insecurity, but this is not the case.

There are a number of methods that may be used to dump SAM in memory. Any user 
with Debug privilages has effectively full access to memory and many system are 
set this way). On top of this, there are means to obtain access without 
authorisation.

Take Meterpreter for instance. This toolset comes with "Sam Juicer". Sam Juicer 
"slides" over a memory channel as a direct memory injection that leaves no disk 
or registry evidence (hence my push on memory forensics).

Any memory/LSASS, services channel, direct disk or registry hole can be used to 
get the SAM. The SAM Juicer uses the first. There are other tools for all the 
other levels.

Regards,
Dr Craig Wright (GSE-Compliance)
