Coming into contact with IEF

Recipe Difficulty: Medium

Python Version: 3.5

Operating System: Any

This can be particularly important when new artifacts are discovered and are unsupported.

In this case, we will look at cached Yahoo Mail contacts that get stored on the local system as a byproduct of using Yahoo Mail.
