Packages and Binaries:

syft

This package contains a CLI tool and Go library for generating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) from container images and filesystems. Exceptional for vulnerability detection when used with a scanner like Grype.

• Generates SBOMs for container images, filesystems, archives, and more to discover packages and libraries
• Supports OCI, Docker and Singularity image formats
• Linux distribution identification
• Works seamlessly with Grype (a fast, modern vulnerability scanner)
• Able to create signed SBOM attestations using the in-toto specification
• Convert between SBOM formats, such as CycloneDX, SPDX, and Syft’s own format.

Generate a packaged-based Software Bill Of Materials (SBOM) from container images and filesystems

Usage:
  syft [SOURCE] [flags]
  syft [command]

Examples:
  syft packages alpine:latest                                a summary of discovered packages
  syft packages alpine:latest -o json                        show all possible cataloging details
  syft packages alpine:latest -o cyclonedx                   show a CycloneDX formatted SBOM
  syft packages alpine:latest -o cyclonedx-json              show a CycloneDX JSON formatted SBOM
  syft packages alpine:latest -o spdx                        show a SPDX 2.3 Tag-Value formatted SBOM
  syft packages alpine:latest -o [email protected]                    show a SPDX 2.2 Tag-Value formatted SBOM
  syft packages alpine:latest -o spdx-json                   show a SPDX 2.3 JSON formatted SBOM
  syft packages alpine:latest -o [email protected]               show a SPDX 2.2 JSON formatted SBOM
  syft packages alpine:latest -vv                            show verbose debug information
  syft packages alpine:latest -o template -t my_format.tmpl  show a SBOM formatted according to given template file

  Supports the following image sources:
    syft packages yourrepo/yourimage:tag     defaults to using images from a Docker daemon. If Docker is not present, the image is pulled directly from the registry.
    syft packages path/to/a/file/or/dir      a Docker tar, OCI tar, OCI directory, SIF container, or generic filesystem directory

  You can also explicitly specify the scheme to use:
    syft packages docker:yourrepo/yourimage:tag            explicitly use the Docker daemon
    syft packages podman:yourrepo/yourimage:tag            explicitly use the Podman daemon
    syft packages registry:yourrepo/yourimage:tag          pull image directly from a registry (no container runtime required)
    syft packages docker-archive:path/to/yourimage.tar     use a tarball from disk for archives created from "docker save"
    syft packages oci-archive:path/to/yourimage.tar        use a tarball from disk for OCI archives (from Skopeo or otherwise)
    syft packages oci-dir:path/to/yourimage                read directly from a path on disk for OCI layout directories (from Skopeo or otherwise)
    syft packages singularity:path/to/yourimage.sif        read directly from a Singularity Image Format (SIF) container on disk
    syft packages dir:path/to/yourproject                  read directly from a path on disk (any directory)
    syft packages file:path/to/yourproject/file            read directly from a path on disk (any single file)
