Actually, this lib needs root access in the computer. It is intended to be used as a module in MIG (Mozilla InvestiGator), which is an agent that lives in servers and can receive commands.. So it is mostly the same, I think, except that the commands shouldn't return detailed information to the main server, but just yes/no answers, for example: "Is any of my servers running a vulnerable OpenSSL Version?"

There's still a lot of work to do!
