Can you describe the general process of this so that it could be ported to Windows? #41

I see that this is a UNIX/Linux thing. However, the CVE database does support information on Windows OS vulnerabilities. Can you describe a 1000ft outline of how this works so that it can be ported into a Windows OS scanner?

Hi Mike,

You might want to read up on https://rawgit.com/sjvermeu/cvechecker/master/docs/design-architecture.html for this. While the document isn't fully finished, the logical design choices are described in there and might already be sufficient for this particular case.
