Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A computer-implemented method for software detection is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes scanning a list of file systems present on a computer system and described by a respective mount point for a signature from a set of predetermined signatures. The computer-implemented method further includes responsive to detecting the signature from the set of predetermined signatures, selecting a particular plugin from a predetermined list of plugins based, at least in part, on the detected signature. The computer-implemented method further includes querying, using the plug-in, an operating environment of the filesystem for data indicative of software running in the operating environment. The computer-implemented method further includes determining software running in the operating environment based, at least in part, on the data returned from querying the operating environment of the filesystem.
