Script used for libyal/libevtx#34

Change Security.evtx size + add some audit policy to generate event on process creation/termination, containing the whole command line.

Then just loop to echo different string (maybe less random data would be less compressed) to flood the event log.

TBH nothing really interesting, but better than nothing. It took some time to run, but I don't really see the point to optimize it.

Thanks that is fine, these scripts are intended for test data generation. Not production system code
