What is it?
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.
SOSOS was designed to make the
life of the System Administrator easier… many tools are
available to gather data similar to SOSOS, but few allow you to
automatically record the results into a database.
SOSOS is completely free of
charge. The SOSOS source code is considered in the “public
domain”. That means you can do anything you want with it, to
include making money from it. There is no licensing
requirement.
The “official” home of SOSOS
is at
http://www.dpw.hood.army.mil/ftp/sosos
Emmet Gray is the Author of
this program. He released this program as source code only
format. We thought that in the spirit of free software we
would make it available to anyone who wants it.

Features
SOSOS gathers information
about PCs including 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.
Note: SOSOS does not
gather any personal information, look at emails, user documents,
or track Internet activity.
SOSOS does not have a built-in
database… instead it relies on a 3rd-party database
application to store its information. A database is not
absolutely required. However a lot of SOSOS functions are
designed around a database and will be disabled when a database
is not configured
