I'm sorry of the delay 10 days i not reply to you.
Thanks for the suggestion you suggested!I'm currently preparing a comparison between winaudit and common PowerShell approaches used for Windows auditing projects.
My goal to show the following:- Performance differences (execution time, CPU usage)
- Reliability (lower parsing errors because everything is done via standard Win32 APIs)
- Consistency across different Windows versions
- Integration advantages when building full Rust-based Windows tools or agents or win32 apps.
PowerShell is excellent, but many checks rely on parsing commands output or running multiple commands.
winaudit, on other hand, uses direct Win32 APIs, this makes it faster and efficient and more stable for embedded or entreprise grade/general applications.
