LolDriverScan

While most of us ignore it, keeping your drivers updated prevents various issues and risks. Not only are outdated drivers one of the favorite targets for malicious actors, but chances are that you may also have to deal with compatibility issues when installing new software.

LolDriverScan is a lightweight console utility that provides a quick way to check whether you have vulnerable drivers on your PC. To do so, the tool scans your system and checks the findings against a list of known vulnerabilities from loldriverscan.io.

Since this is a console tool, it may not be too appealing for users who don’t typically get things done on their systems via commands. It appears straightforward and includes a few options that can be useful in various situations.

For starters, you can export to JSON and hence, you can use the results of the scan with other tools that include various driver vulnerabilities lists. You are not restricted to the list included with the app.

While you can do a regular scan, you can also check your system with verbose enabled and gather more information about the drivers. More precisely, you can get names, versions, associated vulnerabilities, and any other relevant information that can help you understand the status and potential risks associated with each driver.

If you are a regular user with a rather simplistic system with just a few drivers, the usefulness of the tool might be limited. Then again, if you want to check from time to time and make sure that your security is strong, then the tool provides a simple way to do so.

While the tool's primary focus is on identifying vulnerable drivers, it can also provide detailed information and verbose output about the drivers it scans. This type of information provided by LolDriverScan can make a difference, especially if you plan on troubleshooting or diagnosing for any persistent issue on your PC.
