Grype is a command-line security scanner designed to identify known vulnerabilities within container images, filesystems, and software manifests. It functions as a software composition analysis tool that detects security flaws in application components and open-source libraries to support supply chain security. The tool distinguishes itself by reconstructing the final state of container images through layered filesystem inspection and normalizing diverse package formats into a unified dependency graph. It maintains a local cache of security advisories synchronized from multiple upstream sourc
Checkov is a static analysis tool and security scanner designed to identify misconfigurations in infrastructure as code, container images, and Kubernetes configurations. It functions as a cloud security posture tool, an SCA vulnerability scanner, and a secret scanning utility to prevent security breaches and version control leaks. The project distinguishes itself through deep graph analysis and variable resolution, allowing it to map relationships between interconnected resources and evaluate the final state of infrastructure attributes. It provides extensibility for defining custom security
Clair is a container image vulnerability scanner and security analyzer. It performs static analysis of container images by matching package contents against vulnerability databases to identify security risks across different package formats and architectures. The project functions as both an image indexer and a vulnerability database manager. It processes container layers into intermediate representations to enable fast security lookups and synchronizes security metadata from multiple external sources to maintain a local registry. Capability areas include continuous security monitoring, whic
This project is a security compliance tool and configuration auditor designed to evaluate Docker deployments against industry security benchmarks. It functions as a script-based scanner that identifies misconfigurations and vulnerabilities within both the host operating system and container settings. The tool specifically implements the Center for Internet Security standards for Docker to verify host and container configurations. It enables a hardening workflow by comparing system states against these standards to identify security gaps and document compliance status. The audit engine suppor
