A Command-Line System Guardian by Fossil Logic

Stego Tool is a powerful system monitoring and diagnostics utility designed for administrators, developers, and performance engineers who demand deep visibility into their systems. It provides comprehensive insight into hardware, processes, system health, and security—consolidated into a single, cohesive command-line interface.

Unlike traditional tools that only expose fragments of system state, Stego delivers holistic system intelligence with commands like profile for full system overviews, pulse for real-time monitoring, and analyze for AI-assisted diagnostics.

Features

• Full system profiling — Inspect CPU, memory, disk, GPU, firmware, and network in one unified view
• Real-time system monitoring — Track system health with live metrics and visualizations
• Deep inspection tools — Analyze processes, threads, memory regions, and hardware components
• System call tracing — Observe kernel-level activity and performance behavior
• Security and configuration audits — Detect misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and risks
• Thermal and pressure monitoring — Track temperatures and system resource contention
• Snapshot and diff system states — Capture and compare system states over time
• Advanced logging tools — Query, filter, and stream system logs
• AI-assisted diagnostics — Detect bottlenecks, anomalies, and optimization opportunities
• Enhanced shell introspection — Extended env, echo, and process analysis tools
