About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

This repository contains the source documents published on the Windows Sysinternals site. Markdown pages maintain descriptions, downloads, requirements, and usage for diagnostic and investigation tools.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Key features

Maintain purpose and download references for each diagnostic tool

Pages under downloads cover Process Explorer, Process Monitor, Autoruns, PsTools, and others. They describe purpose, supported Windows environments, and official executable downloads.

Sources: [1][2][3]

Best fit

Choose a tool and review cautions before Windows investigation

Readers can start from processes, files, registry activity, or autoruns and select the relevant page. A fixed checkout allows local inspection of navigation and internal links.

Sources: [2][3]

Before adoption

Separate documentation licensing from tool distribution terms

This is an archived fork and is not a collection of tool implementation source. Documentation is CC BY 4.0 and code snippets follow LICENSE-CODE, while downloaded tools have their own license terms.

Supplemental curator note

This repository suits readers checking the purpose and official distribution pages of Sysinternals tools. Treat it as documentation source, not as the implementation source for those tools.

Try it in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Fetch the documentation at the fixed commit

    Requires Git. Check out the archived repository and require its downloads index.

    git clone https://github.com/Sysinternals/sysinternals.git sysinternals-docs && cd sysinternals-docs && git checkout --detach 166f329c39b985f81fb3c019c456fccb744184e2 && test -f sysinternals/downloads/index.md
  2. 2

    Inspect the Process Monitor reference

    Require the product name and download guidance in its page without running an executable.

    test -f sysinternals/downloads/procmon.md && grep -F "Process Monitor" sysinternals/downloads/procmon.md >/dev/null && grep -E "download|Download" sysinternals/downloads/procmon.md >/dev/null
  3. 3

    Distinguish documentation from tool implementation

    Inspect both repository licenses and the absence of src, then state that this checkout is documentation source.

    test -f LICENSE && test -f LICENSE-CODE && test ! -d src && printf '%s\n' 'This checkout contains the Sysinternals documentation source, not the implementation source of the downloadable tools.'
