detect_software:
enable: true
category: "Host"
name: "Detect Software"
description: "This module attempts to detect software installed on the host by using Internet Explorer XMLDOM XXE discovered by Soroush Dalili (@irsdl).
If the XMLDOM XXE technique fails, the module falls back to using the 'res' protocol handler to load known resource images from EXE/DLL files.
It also attempts to enumerate installed patches if service pack uninstall files are present on the host (WinXP only)."
