New: Version 3.0!
SOSOS is a computer hardware and software inventory program. It gathers over 220
pieces of information about computers and optionally stores this information in a
database. It can be run locally or can be used by an administrator to scan a
network.
It gathers hardware information such as CPU, memory, hard drives, and serial
numbers; software information such as operating system, installed software, and
software components; configuration information such as IP address, running
processes, desktop settings, and services; and security-related information such
as shared resources, modems, account policies, security patches, and virus
activity.
SOSOS is actually a suite of programs consisting of the following:
* SOSOS – the main application (includes all of the features below)
* RunSOSOS – a command-line version for gathering data
* PollSOSOS – a command-line version for network scanning
* ViewSOSOS – a read-only interface to SOSOS database
* ConfigureSOSOS – a setup utility for the SOSOS suite
Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come
out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net
including:McAfee.com

Emmet- I am very impressed with this submission and frankly surprised the base doesn't care that it's being shared. This thing really should be #1 on the all time hall of fame for every important reason. I also checked out your FTP site and fetched the .net 2003 source. Very very cool of you to share this masterpiece. Also, thanks for serving. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
