Research Sysinternals #1

The code for the Sysinternals files are not public (since the company got bought out in 2006). We would need to download/get the sysinternal exe, run it, get the information, pass it into the plugin, and then pass it into snap.

Possible connection to Microsoft sysinternals server (so no need to download to anything)

Snap uses either JSON or GOB CODEC (we'll use JSON cause I don't know the other) There are powershell scripts to convert to JSON that we could use (go probably has some as well)

We should probably do as much in Go as possible.

I have not been able to find a PowerShell script that runs and parses the output of the exe file.

I will run and parse the output in Go and only use PowerShell to automatically download/update?? the exe file.
