pssec 2.0

pssec is a simple, linux-specific command to display various values of running processes in order to aid decision making around process security. At current it displays which processes have the 'no new privs' flag set, which are constrained with seccomp, which have memory that is both writable and executable, or have executable stack or heap, etc, etc.
