Abstract: The Python programs serve as comprehensive system diagnostic and security auditing tools. The first script utilizes the psutil and platform libraries to collect and display detailed system information, including operating system details, CPU specifications, memory usage, storage data, and boot time. It ensures the required psutil package is installed dynamically, making the script portable and robust. This tool is useful for monitoring resource usage and understanding system performance in real time.The second script focuses on basic security auditing and vulnerability scanning. It checks for the presence of known vulnerable packages (e.g., older versions of gitpython), scans the filesystem for common misconfigurations such as hardcoded secrets and insecure file permissions, and categorizes the associated risk levels. Additionally, it ensures that the pkg_resources module is available by managing the installation or upgrade of setuptools if needed.
