        ("_pad0x0", c_byte * 6),
        ("sections", c_short),
        ("timestamp", c_uint32),
    ]

inventory = Inventory()
os = inventory.create_os("native")
process = os.process_from_name("CalculatorApp.exe")
module = process.module_by_name("CalculatorApp.dll")
header = process.read(module.base + 0x40, COFFHeader)
print(header)
