-[#](#) Contributing to Syft
+# Contributing
 
-If you are looking to contribute to this project and want to open a GitHub pull request ("PR"), there are a few guidelines of what we are looking for in patches. Make sure you go through this document and ensure that your code proposal is aligned.
+Thank you for your interest in contributing to Syft!
 
-## Setting up your environment
+Please see the [contribution guide](https://oss.anchore.com/docs/contributing/syft/) for development requirements and helpful tips to get started developing in the repo. For a deeper dive, please see the [architecture docs](https://oss.anchore.com/docs/architecture/syft/).
 
-Before you can contribute to Syft, you need to configure your development environment.
+**Have a question or need help?** Check out our [issues and discussions guide](https://oss.anchore.com/docs/contributing/issues-and-discussions/) to find the right place to start a conversation.
 
-### Debian setup
+**Ready to submit code?** Our [pull request guide](https://oss.anchore.com/docs/contributing/pull-requests/) covers everything from title conventions to the review process. Don't forget that ***all commits require a [sign-off](https://oss.anchore.com/docs/contributing/sign-off/)***.
 
-You will need to install Go. The version on https://go.dev works best, using the system golang doesn't always work the way you might expect.
+**Found a security issue?** Please do **not** open a public issue. Instead, see our [security policy](https://oss.anchore.com/docs/contributing/security/) for how to report vulnerabilities responsibly.
 
-Refer to the go.mod file in the root of this repo for the recommended version of Go to install.
-
-You will also need Docker. There's no reason the system packages shouldn't work, but we used the official Docker package. You can find instructions for installing Docker in Debian [here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/).
-
-You also need to install some Debian packages
-
-```sh
-sudo apt-get install build-essential zip bc libxml2-utils git
-```
-
-## Configuring Git
-
-You will need to configure your git client with your name and email address. This is easily done from the command line.
-
-```text
-$ git config --global user.name "John Doe"
-$ git config --global user.email "john.doe@example.com"
-```
-
-This username and email address will matter later in this guide.
-
-## Fork the repo
-
-You should fork the Syft repo using the "Fork" button at the top right of the Syft GitHub [site](https://github.com/anchore/syft/). You will be doing your development in your fork, then submit a pull request to Syft. There are many resources how to use GitHub effectively, we will not cover those here.
-
-## Adding a feature or fix
-
-If you look at the Syft [Issue](https://github.com/anchore/syft/issues) there are plenty of bugs and feature requests. Maybe look at the [good first issue](https://github.com/anchore/syft/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22) list if you're not sure where to start.
-
-## Commit guidelines
-
-In the Syft project we like commits and pull requests (PR) to be easy to understand and review. Open source thrives best when everything happening is over documented and small enough to be understood.
-
-### Granular commits
-
-Please try to make every commit as simple as possible, but no simpler. The idea is that each commit should be a logical unit of code. Try not to commit too many tiny changes, for example every line changed in a file as a separate commit. And also try not to make a commit enormous, for example committing all your work at the end of the day.
-
-Rather than try to follow a strict guide on what is or is not best, we try to be flexible and simple in this space. Do what makes the most sense for the changes you are trying to include.
-
-### Commit title and description
-
-Remember that the message you leave for a commit is for the reviewer in the present, and for someone (maybe you) changing something in the future. Please make sure the title and description used is easy to understand and explains what was done. Jokes and clever comments generally don't age well in commit messages. Just the facts please.
-
-## Sign off your work
-
-The `sign-off` is an added line at the end of the explanation for the commit, certifying that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to submit it as an open-source patch. By submitting a contribution, you agree to be bound by the terms of the DCO Version 1.1 and Apache License Version 2.0.
-
-Signing off a commit certifies the below Developer's Certificate of Origin (DCO):
-
-```text
-Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
-
-By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
-
-   (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
-       have the right to submit it under the open source license
-       indicated in the file; or
-
-   (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
-       of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
-       license and I have the right under that license to submit that
-       work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
-       by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
-       permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
-       in the file; or
-
-   (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
-       person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
-       it.
-
-   (d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
-       are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
-       personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
-       maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
-       this project or the open source license(s) involved.
-```
-
-All contributions to this project are licensed under the [Apache License Version 2.0, January 2004](http://www.apache.org/licenses/).
-
-When committing your change, you can add the required line manually so that it looks like this:
-
-```text
-Signed-off-by: John Doe <john.doe@example.com>
-```
-
-Creating a signed-off commit is then possible with `-s` or `--signoff`:
-
-```text
-$ git commit -s -m "this is a commit message"
-```
-
-To double-check that the commit was signed-off, look at the log output:
-
-```text
-$ git log -1
-commit 37ceh170e4hb283bb73d958f2036ee5k07e7fde7 (HEAD -> issue-35, origin/main, main)
-Author: John Doe <john.doe@example.com>
-Date:   Mon Aug 1 11:27:13 2020 -0400
-
-    this is a commit message
-
-    Signed-off-by: John Doe <john.doe@example.com>
-```
-
-## Test your changes
-
-This project has a `Makefile` which includes many helpers running both unit and integration tests. You can run `make help` to see all the options. Although PRs will have automatic checks for these, it is useful to run them locally, ensuring they pass before submitting changes. Ensure you've bootstrapped once before running tests:
-
-```text
-$ make bootstrap
-```
-
-You only need to bootstrap once. After the bootstrap process, you can run the tests as many times as needed:
-
-```text
-$ make unit
-$ make integration
-```
-
-You can also run `make all` to run a more extensive test suite, but there is additional configuration that will be needed for those tests to run correctly. We will not cover the extra steps here.
-
-## Pull Request
-
-If you made it this far and all the tests are passing, it's time to submit a Pull Request (PR) for Syft. Submitting a PR is always a scary moment as what happens next can be an unknown. The Syft project strives to be easy to work with, we appreciate all contributions. Nobody is going to yell at you or try to make you feel bad. We love contributions and know how scary that first PR can be.
-
-### PR Title and Description
-
-Just like the commit title and description mentioned above, the PR title and description is very important for letting others know what's happening. Please include any details you think a reviewer will need to more properly review your PR.
-
-A PR that is very large or poorly described has a higher likelihood of being pushed to the end of the list. Reviewers like PRs they can understand and quickly review.
-
-### What to expect next
-
-Please be patient with the project. We try to review PRs in a timely manner, but this is highly dependent on all the other tasks we have going on. It's OK to ask for a status update every week or two, it's not OK to ask for a status update every day.
-
-It's very likely the reviewer will have questions and suggestions for changes to your PR. If your changes don't match the current style and flow of the other code, expect a request to change what you've done.
-
-## Document your changes
-
-And lastly, when proposed changes are modifying user-facing functionality or output, it is expected the PR will include updates to the documentation as well. Syft is not a project that is heavy on documentation. This will mostly be updating the README and help for the tool.
-
-If nobody knows new features exist, they can't use them!

-# Developing
-
-## Getting started
-
-In order to test and develop in this repo you will need the following dependencies installed:
-- Golang
-- docker
-- make
-- Python (>= 3.9)
-
-### Docker settings for getting started
-Make sure you've updated your docker settings so the default docker socket path is available.
-
-Go to:
-
-docker -> settings -> advanced
-
-Make sure:
-
-```
-Allow the default Docker socket to be used
-```
-
-is checked.
-
-Also double check that the docker context being used is the default context. If it is not, run:
-
-`docker context use default`
-
-After cloning the following step can help you get setup:
-1. run `make bootstrap` to download go mod dependencies, create the `/.tmp` dir, and download helper utilities.
-2. run `make` to view the selection of developer commands in the Makefile
-3. run `make build` to build the release snapshot binaries and packages
-4. for an even quicker start you can run `go run cmd/syft/main.go` to print the syft help.
-	- this command `go run cmd/syft/main.go alpine:latest` will compile and run syft against `alpine:latest`
-5. view the README or syft help output for more output options
-
-The main make tasks for common static analysis and testing are `lint`, `format`, `lint-fix`, `unit`, `integration`, and `cli`.
-
-See `make help` for all the current make tasks.
-
-### Internal Artifactory Settings
-
-**Not always applicable**
-
-Some companies have Artifactory setup internally as a solution for sourcing secure dependencies.
-If you're seeing an issue where the unit tests won't run because of the below error then this section might be relevant for your use case.
-
-```
-[ERROR] [ERROR] Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs
-```
-
-If you're dealing with an issue where the unit tests will not pull/build certain java fixtures check some of these settings:
-
-- a `settings.xml` file should be available to help you communicate with your internal artifactory deployment
-- this can be moved to `syft/pkg/cataloger/java/test-fixtures/java-builds/example-jenkins-plugin/` to help build the unit test-fixtures
-- you'll also want to modify the `build-example-jenkins-plugin.sh` to use `settings.xml`
-
-For more information on this setup and troubleshooting see [issue 1895](https://github.com/anchore/syft/issues/1895#issuecomment-1610085319)

-
-## Architecture
-
-At a high level, this is the package structure of syft:
-```
-./cmd/syft/
-│   ├── cli/
-│   │   ├── cli.go          // where all commands are wired up
-│   │   ├── commands/       // all command implementations
-│   │   ├── options/        // all command flags and configuration options
-│   │   └── ui/             // all handlers for events that are shown on the UI
-│   └── main.go             // entrypoint for the application
-└── syft/                   // the "core" syft library
-    ├── format/             // contains code to encode or decode to and from SBOM formats
-    ├── pkg/                // contains code to catalog packages from a source
-    ├── sbom/               // contains the definition of an SBOM
-    └── source/             // contains code to create a source object for some input type (e.g. container image, directory, etc)
-```
-
-Syft's core library is implemented in the `syft` package and subpackages, where the major packages are:
-
-- the `syft/source` package produces a `source.Source` object that can be used to catalog a directory, container, and other source types.
-- the `syft` package contains a single function that can take a `source.Source` object and catalog it, producing an `sbom.SBOM` object
-- the `syft/format` package contains the ability to encode and decode SBOMs to and from different SBOM formats (such as SPDX and CycloneDX)
-
-The `cmd` package at the highest level execution flow wires up [`spf13/cobra`](https://github.com/spf13/cobra) commands for execution in the main application:
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
-    participant main as cmd/syft/main
-    participant cli as cli.New()
-    participant root as root.Execute()
-    participant cmd as <command>.Execute()

-The `packages` command uses the core library to generate an SBOM for the given user input:
-```mermaid

-
-    Note right of source: use "ubuntu:latest" as SBOM input
-
-    source-->>+sbom: add source to SBOM struct
-    source-->>+catalog: pass src to generate catalog
-    catalog-->-sbom: add cataloging results onto SBOM
-    sbom-->>encoder: pass SBOM and format desiered to syft encoder
-    encoder-->>source: return bytes that are the SBOM of the original input 
-
-    Note right of catalog: cataloger configuration is done based on src
-```
-
-Additionally, here is a [gist of using syft as a library](https://gist.github.com/spiffcs/3027638b7ba904d07e482a712bc00d3d) to generate a SBOM for a docker image.

-### `pkg.Package` object
-
-The `pkg.Package` object is a core data structure that represents a software package. Fields like `name` and `version` probably don't need
-a detailed explanation, but some of the other fields are worth a quick overview:
-
-- `FoundBy`: the name of the cataloger that discovered this package (e.g. `python-pip-cataloger`).
-- `Locations`: these are the set of paths and layer ids that were parsed to discover this package (e.g. `python-pip-cataloger`).
-- `Language`: the language of the package (e.g. `python`).
-- `Type`: this is a high-level categorization of the ecosystem the package resides in. For instance, even if the package is a egg, wheel, or requirements.txt reference, it is still logically a "python" package. Not all package types align with a language (e.g. `rpm`) but it is common.
-- `Metadata`: specialized data for specific location(s) parsed. We should try and raise up as much raw information that seems useful. As a rule of thumb the object here should be as flat as possible and use the raw names and values from the underlying source material parsed.
-
-When `pkg.Package` is serialized an additional `MetadataType` is shown. This is a label that helps consumers understand the datashape of the `Metadata` field.
-
-By convention the `MetadataType` value should follow these rules of thumb:
-
-- Only use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. Use hyphens to separate words.
-- **Try to anchor the name in the ecosystem, language, or packaging tooling it belongs to**. For a package manager for a language ecosystem the language, framework or runtime should be used as a prefix. For instance `pubspec-lock` is an OK name, but `dart-pubspec-lock` is better. For an OS package manager this is not necessary (e.g. `apk-db-entry` is a good name, but `alpine-apk-db-entry` is not since `alpine` and the `a` in `apk` is redundant).
-- **Be as specific as possible to what the data represents**. For instance `ruby-gem` is NOT a good `MetadataType` value, but `ruby-gemspec` is. Why? Ruby gem information can come from a gemspec file or a Gemfile.lock, which are very different. The latter name provides more context as to what to expect.
-- **Should describe WHAT the data is, NOT HOW it's used**. For instance `r-description-installed-file` is NOT a good `MetadataType` value since it's trying to convey that we use the DESCRIPTION file in the R ecosystem to detect installed packages. Instead simply describe what the DESCRIPTION file is itself without context of how it's used: `r-description`.
-- **Use the `lock` suffix** to distinct between manifest files that loosely describe package version requirements vs files that strongly specify one and only one version of a package ("lock" files). These should only be used with respect to package managers that have the guide and lock distinction, but would not be appropriate otherwise (e.g. `rpm` does not have a guide vs lock, so `lock` should NOT be used to describe a db entry).
-- **Use the `archive` suffix to indicate a package archive** (e.g. rpm file, apk file, etc) that describes the contents of the package. For example an RPM file that was cataloged would have a `rpm-archive` metadata type (not to be confused with an RPM DB record entry which would be `rpm-db-entry`).
-- **Use the `entry` suffix** to indicate information about a package that was found as a single entry within file that has multiple package entries. If the entry was found within a DB or a flat-file store for an OS package manager, you should use `db-entry`.
-- **Should NOT contain the phrase `package`**, though exceptions are allowed (say if the canonical name literally has the phrase package in it).
-- **Should NOT contain have a `file` suffix** unless the canonical name has the term "file", such as a `pipfile` or `gemfile`. An example of a bad name for this rule is`ruby-gemspec-file`; a better name would be `ruby-gemspec`.
-- **Should NOT contain the exact filename+extensions**. For instance `pipfile.lock` shouldn't really be in the name, instead try and describe what the file is: `python-pipfile-lock` (but shouldn't this be `python-pip-lock` you might ask? No, since the `pip` package manger is not related to the `pipfile` project).
-- **Should NOT contain the phrase `metadata`**, unless the canonical name has this term.
-- **Should represent a single use case**. For example, trying to describe Hackage metadata with a single `HackageMetadata` struct (and thus `MetadataType`) is not allowed since it represents 3 mutually exclusive use cases: representing a `stack.yaml`, `stack.lock`, or `cabal.project` file. Instead, each of these should have their own struct types and `MetadataType` values.
-
-There are other cases that are not covered by these rules... and that's ok! The goal is to provide a consistent naming scheme that is easy to understand and use when it's applicable. If the rules do not exactly apply in your situation then just use your best judgement (or amend these rules as needed whe new common cases come up).
-
-What if the underlying parsed data represents multiple files? There are two approaches to this:
-- use the primary file to represent all the data. For instance, though the `dpkg-cataloger` looks at multiple files to get all information about a package, it's the `status` file that gets represented.
-- nest each individual file's data under the `Metadata` field. For instance, the `java-archive-cataloger` may find information from on or all of the files: `pom.xml`, `pom.properties`, and `MANIFEST.MF`. However, the metadata is simply `java-metadata' with each possibility as a nested optional field.
-
-### Syft Catalogers
-
-Catalogers are the way in which syft is able to identify and construct packages given a set a targeted list of files.
-For example, a cataloger can ask syft for all `package-lock.json` files in order to parse and raise up javascript packages 
-(see [how file globs](https://github.com/anchore/syft/tree/v0.70.0/syft/pkg/cataloger/javascript/cataloger.go#L16-L21) and
-[file parser functions](https://github.com/anchore/syft/tree/v0.70.0/syft/pkg/cataloger/javascript/cataloger.go#L16-L21) are used 
-for a quick example).
-
-From a high level catalogers have the following properties:
-
-- _They are independent from one another_. The java cataloger has no idea of the processes, assumptions, or results of the python cataloger, for example.
-
-- _They do not know what source is being analyzed_. Are we analyzing a local directory? an image? if so, the squashed representation or all layers? The catalogers do not know the answers to these questions. Only that there is an interface to query for file paths and contents from an underlying "source" being scanned.
-
-- _Packages created by the cataloger should not be mutated after they are created_. There is one exception made for adding CPEs to a package after the cataloging phase, but that will most likely be moved back into the cataloger in the future.
-
-
-Cataloger names should be unique and named with the following rules of thumb in mind:
-
-- Must end with `-cataloger`
-- Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only
-- Use hyphens to separate words
-- Catalogers for language ecosystems should start with the language name (e.g. `python-` for a cataloger that raises up python packages)
-- Distinct between when the cataloger is searching for evidence of installed packages vs declared packages. For example, there are currently two different gemspec-based catalogers, the `ruby-gemspec-cataloger` and `ruby-installed-gemspec-cataloger`, where the latter requires that the gemspec is found within a `specifications` directory (which means it was installed, not just at the root of a source repo).
-
-#### Building a new Cataloger
-
-Catalogers must fulfill the [`pkg.Cataloger` interface](https://github.com/anchore/syft/tree/v0.70.0/syft/pkg/cataloger.go) in order to add packages to the SBOM.
-All catalogers should be added to:
-- the [global list of catalogers](https://github.com/anchore/syft/blob/9995950c70e849f9921919faffbfcf46401f71f3/syft/pkg/cataloger/cataloger.go#L92-L125)
-- at least one source-specific list, today the two lists are [directory catalogers and image catalogers](https://github.com/anchore/syft/blob/9995950c70e849f9921919faffbfcf46401f71f3/syft/pkg/cataloger/cataloger.go#L39-L89)
-
-For reference, catalogers are [invoked within syft](https://github.com/anchore/syft/tree/v0.70.0/syft/pkg/cataloger/catalog.go#L41-L100) one after the other, and can be invoked in parallel.
-
-`generic.NewCataloger` is an abstraction syft used to make writing common components easier (see the [apkdb cataloger](https://github.com/anchore/syft/tree/v0.70.0/syft/pkg/cataloger/apkdb/cataloger.go) for example usage). 
-It takes the following information as input:
-- A `catalogerName` to identify the cataloger uniquely among all other catalogers.
-- Pairs of file globs as well as parser functions to parse those files. These parser functions return a slice of [`pkg.Package`](https://github.com/anchore/syft/blob/9995950c70e849f9921919faffbfcf46401f71f3/syft/pkg/package.go#L19) as well as a slice of [`artifact.Relationship`](https://github.com/anchore/syft/blob/9995950c70e849f9921919faffbfcf46401f71f3/syft/artifact/relationship.go#L31) to describe how the returned packages are related. See this [the apkdb cataloger parser function](https://github.com/anchore/syft/tree/v0.70.0/syft/pkg/cataloger/apkdb/parse_apk_db.go#L22-L102) as an example.
-
-Identified packages share a common `pkg.Package` struct so be sure that when the new cataloger is constructing a new package it is using the [`Package` struct](https://github.com/anchore/syft/tree/v0.70.0/syft/pkg/package.go#L16-L31).
-If you want to return more information than what is available on the `pkg.Package` struct then you can do so in the `pkg.Package.Metadata` section of the struct, which is unique for each [`pkg.Type`](https://github.com/anchore/syft/blob/v0.70.0/syft/pkg/type.go).
-See [the `pkg` package](https://github.com/anchore/syft/tree/v0.70.0/syft/pkg) for examples of the different metadata types that are supported today. 
-These are plugged into the `MetadataType` and `Metadata` fields in the above struct. `MetadataType` informs which type is being used. `Metadata` is an interface converted to that type.
-
-Finally, here is an example of where the package construction is done within the apk cataloger:
-- [Calling the APK package constructor from the parser function](https://github.com/anchore/syft/blob/v0.70.0/syft/pkg/cataloger/apkdb/parse_apk_db.go#L106)
-- [The APK package constructor itself](https://github.com/anchore/syft/tree/v0.70.0/syft/pkg/cataloger/apkdb/package.go#L12-L27)

-
-
-#### Searching for files
-
-All catalogers are provided an instance of the [`file.Resolver`](https://github.com/anchore/syft/blob/v0.70.0/syft/source/file_resolver.go#L8) to interface with the image and search for files. The implementations for these 
-abstractions leverage [`stereoscope`](https://github.com/anchore/stereoscope) in order to perform searching. Here is a 
-rough outline how that works:
-
-1. a stereoscope `file.Index` is searched based on the input given (a path, glob, or MIME type). The index is relatively fast to search, but requires results to be filtered down to the files that exist in the specific layer(s) of interest. This is done automatically by the `filetree.Searcher` abstraction. This abstraction will fallback to searching directly against the raw `filetree.FileTree` if the index does not contain the file(s) of interest. Note: the `filetree.Searcher` is used by the `file.Resolver` abstraction.
-2. Once the set of files are returned from the `filetree.Searcher` the results are filtered down further to return the most unique file results. For example, you may have requested for files by a glob that returns multiple results. These results are filtered down to deduplicate by real files, so if a result contains two references to the same file, say one accessed via symlink and one accessed via the real path, then the real path reference is returned and the symlink reference is filtered out. If both were accessed by symlink then the first (by lexical order) is returned. This is done automatically by the `file.Resolver` abstraction.
-3. By the time results reach the `pkg.Cataloger` you are guaranteed to have a set of unique files that exist in the layer(s) of interest (relative to what the resolver supports).
-
-## Testing
-
-### Levels of testing
-
-- `unit`: The default level of test which is distributed throughout the repo are unit tests. Any `_test.go` file that 
-  does not reside somewhere within the `/test` directory is a unit test. Other forms of testing should be organized in 
-  the `/test` directory. These tests should focus on correctness of functionality in depth. % test coverage metrics 
-  only considers unit tests and no other forms of testing.
-
-- `integration`: located within `cmd/syft/internal/test/integration`, these tests focus on the behavior surfaced by the common library 
-  entrypoints from the `syft` package and make light assertions about the results surfaced. Additionally, these tests
-  tend to make diversity assertions for enum-like objects, ensuring that as enum values are added to a definition
-  that integration tests will automatically fail if no test attempts to use that enum value. For more details see 
-  the "Data diversity and freshness assertions" section below.
-
-- `cli`: located with in `test/cli`, these are tests that test the correctness of application behavior from a 
-  snapshot build. This should be used in cases where a unit or integration test will not do or if you are looking
-  for in-depth testing of code in the `cmd/` package (such as testing the proper behavior of application configuration,
-  CLI switches, and glue code before syft library calls).
-
-- `acceptance`: located within `test/compare` and `test/install`, these are smoke-like tests that ensure that application  
-  packaging and installation works as expected. For example, during release we provide RPM packages as a download 
-  artifact. We also have an accompanying RPM acceptance test that installs the RPM from a snapshot build and ensures the 
-  output of a syft invocation matches canned expected output. New acceptance tests should be added for each release artifact
-  and architecture supported (when possible).
-
-### Data diversity and freshness assertions
-
-It is important that tests against the codebase are flexible enough to begin failing when they do not cover "enough"
-of the objects under test. "Cover" in this case does not mean that some percentage of the code has been executed 
-during testing, but instead that there is enough diversity of data input reflected in testing relative to the
-definitions available.
-
-For instance, consider an enum-like value like so:
-```go
-type Language string
-
-const (
-  Java            Language = "java"
-  JavaScript      Language = "javascript"
-  Python          Language = "python"
-  Ruby            Language = "ruby"
-  Go              Language = "go"
-)
-```
-
-Say we have a test that exercises all the languages defined today:
-
-```go
-func TestCatalogPackages(t *testing.T) {
-  testTable := []struct {
-    // ... the set of test cases that test all languages
-  }
-  for _, test := range cases {
-    t.Run(test.name, func (t *testing.T) {
-      // use inputFixturePath and assert that syft.CatalogPackages() returns the set of expected Package objects
-      // ...
-    })
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Where each test case has a `inputFixturePath` that would result with packages from each language. This test is
-brittle since it does not assert that all languages were exercised directly and future modifications (such as 
-adding a new language) won't be covered by any test cases.
-
-To address this the enum-like object should have a definition of all objects that can be used in testing:
-
-```go
-type Language string
-
-// const( Java Language = ..., ... )
-
-var AllLanguages = []Language{
-	Java,
-	JavaScript,
-	Python,
-	Ruby,
-	Go,
-	Rust,
-}
-```
-
-Allowing testing to automatically fail when adding a new language:
-
-```go
-func TestCatalogPackages(t *testing.T) {
-  testTable := []struct {
-  	// ... the set of test cases that (hopefully) covers all languages
-  }
-
-  // new stuff...
-  observedLanguages := strset.New()
-  
-  for _, test := range cases {
-    t.Run(test.name, func (t *testing.T) {
-      // use inputFixturePath and assert that syft.CatalogPackages() returns the set of expected Package objects
-    	// ...
-    	
-    	// new stuff...
-    	for _, actualPkg := range actual {
-        observedLanguages.Add(string(actualPkg.Language))
-    	}
-    	
-    })
-  }
-
-   // new stuff...
-  for _, expectedLanguage := range pkg.AllLanguages {
-    if 	!observedLanguages.Contains(expectedLanguage) {
-      t.Errorf("failed to test language=%q", expectedLanguage)	
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-This is a better test since it will fail when someone adds a new language but fails to write a test case that should
-exercise that new language. This method is ideal for integration-level testing, where testing correctness in depth 
-is not needed (that is what unit tests are for) but instead testing in breadth to ensure that units are well integrated.
-
-A similar case can be made for data freshness; if the quality of the results will be diminished if the input data
-is not kept up to date then a test should be written (when possible) to assert any input data is not stale.
-
-An example of this is the static list of licenses that is stored in `internal/spdxlicense` for use by the SPDX 
-presenters. This list is updated and published periodically by an external group and syft can grab and update this
-list by running `go generate ./...` from the root of the repo.
-
-An integration test has been written to grabs the latest license list version externally and compares that version
-with the version generated in the codebase. If they differ, the test fails, indicating to someone that there is an
-action needed to update it.
-
-**_The key takeaway is to try and write tests that fail when data assumptions change and not just when code changes.**_
-
-### Snapshot tests
-
-The format objects make a lot of use of "snapshot" testing, where you save the expected output bytes from a call into the
-git repository and during testing make a comparison of the actual bytes from the subject under test with the golden
-copy saved in the repo. The "golden" files are stored in the `test-fixtures/snapshot` directory relative to the go 
-package under test and should always be updated by invoking `go test` on the specific test file with a specific CLI 
-update flag provided.
-
-Many of the `Format` tests make use of this approach, where the raw SBOM report is saved in the repo and the test 
-compares that SBOM with what is generated from the latest presenter code. For instance, at the time of this writing 
-the CycloneDX presenter snapshots can be updated by running:
-
-```bash
-go test ./internal/formats -update-cyclonedx
-```
-
-These flags are defined at the top of the test files that have tests that use the snapshot files.
-
-Snapshot testing is only as good as the manual verification of the golden snapshot file saved to the repo! Be careful 
-and diligent when updating these files.

 ## Installation
 
-Syft binaries are provided for Linux, macOS and Windows.
-
-### Recommended
-> ```bash 
-> curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anchore/syft/main/install.sh | sh -s -- -b /usr/local/bin
-> ```
-
-Install script options:
--	`-b`: Specify a custom installation directory (defaults to `./bin`)
--	`-d`: More verbose logging levels (`-d` for debug, `-dd` for trace)
--	`-v`: Verify the signature of the downloaded artifact before installation (requires [`cosign`](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign) to be installed)
-
-### Homebrew
+The quickest way to get up and going:
 ```bash
-brew install syft
+curl -sSfL https://get.anchore.io/syft | sudo sh -s -- -b /usr/local/bin
 ```
 
-### Scoop
+> [!TIP]
+> **See [Installation docs](https://oss.anchore.com/docs/installation/syft/) for more ways to get Syft, including Homebrew, Docker, Scoop, Chocolatey, Nix, and more!**
 
-```powershell
-scoop install syft
-```
+## The basics
 
-### Chocolatey
-
-The chocolatey distribution of Syft is community-maintained and not distributed by the Anchore team
-
-```powershell
-choco install syft -y
-```
-
-### Nix
-
-**Note**: Nix packaging of Syft is [community maintained](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/admin/syft/default.nix). Syft is available in the [stable channel](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Nix_channels#The_official_channels) since NixOS `22.05`.
+See the packages within a container image or directory:
 
 ```bash
-nix-env -i syft
+# container image
+syft alpine:latest
+
+# directory
+syft ./my-project
 ```
 
-... or, just try it out in an ephemeral nix shell:
+To get an SBOM, specify one or more output formats:
 
 ```bash
-nix-shell -p syft
+# SBOM to stdout
+syft <image> -o cyclonedx-json
+
+# Multiple SBOMs to files
+syft <image> -o spdx-json=./spdx.json -o cyclonedx-json=./cdx.json
 ```
 
-## Getting started
 
-### SBOM
+> [!TIP]
+> **Check out the [Getting Started guide](https://oss.anchore.com/docs/guides/sbom/getting-started/)** to explore all of the capabilities and features.
+>
+> **Want to know all of the ins-and-outs of Syft?** Check out the [CLI docs](https://oss.anchore.com/docs/reference/syft/cli/),  [configuration docs](https://oss.anchore.com/docs/reference/syft/configuration/), and [JSON schema](https://oss.anchore.com/docs/reference/syft/json/latest/).
 
-To generate an SBOM for a container image:
-
-```bash
-syft <image>
-```
-
-The above output includes only software that is visible in the container (i.e., the squashed representation of the image). To include software from all image layers in the SBOM, regardless of its presence in the final image, provide `--scope all-layers`:
-
-```bash
-syft <image> --scope all-layers
-```
-
-### Output formats
-
-The output format for Syft is configurable as well using the `-o` (or `--output`) option:
-
-```
-syft <image> -o <format>
-```
-
-Where the `formats` available are:
-- `syft-json`: Use this to get as much information out of Syft as possible!
-- `syft-text`: A row-oriented, human-and-machine-friendly output.
-- `cyclonedx-xml`: A XML report conforming to the [CycloneDX 1.6 specification](https://cyclonedx.org/specification/overview/).
-- `cyclonedx-xml@1.5`: A XML report conforming to the [CycloneDX 1.5 specification](https://cyclonedx.org/specification/overview/).
-- `cyclonedx-json`: A JSON report conforming to the [CycloneDX 1.6 specification](https://cyclonedx.org/specification/overview/).
-- `cyclonedx-json@1.5`: A JSON report conforming to the [CycloneDX 1.5 specification](https://cyclonedx.org/specification/overview/).
-- `spdx-tag-value`: A tag-value formatted report conforming to the [SPDX 2.3 specification](https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v2.3/).
-- `spdx-tag-value@2.2`: A tag-value formatted report conforming to the [SPDX 2.2 specification](https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v2.2.2/).
-- `spdx-json`: A JSON report conforming to the [SPDX 2.3 JSON Schema](https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/blob/v2.3/schemas/spdx-schema.json).
-- `spdx-json@2.2`: A JSON report conforming to the [SPDX 2.2 JSON Schema](https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/blob/v2.2/schemas/spdx-schema.json).
-- `github-json`: A JSON report conforming to GitHub's dependency snapshot format.
-- `syft-table`: A columnar summary (default).
-- `template`: Lets the user specify the output format. See ["Using templates"](#using-templates) below.
-
-Note that flags using the @<version> can be used for earlier versions of each specification as well.

+A release of syft comprises:
+- a new semver git tag from the current tip of the main branch
+- a new [github release](https://github.com/anchore/syft/releases) with a changelog and archived binary assets
+- docker images published to `ghcr.io` and `dockerhub`, including multi architecture images + manifest
+- [`anchore/homebrew-syft`](https://github.com/anchore/homebrew-syft) tap updated to point to assets in the latest github release

+Ideally releasing should be done often with small increments when possible. Unless a
+breaking change is blocking the release, or no fixes/features have been merged, a good

 in the go proxy, which will cause confusion when trying to reuse the tag later (the H1 hash will not match and there
 will be a warning when users try to pull the new release).
 
-
-## Background
-
-A good release process has the following qualities:
-
-1. There is a way to plan what should be in a release
-1. There is a way to see what is actually in a release
-1. Allow for different kinds of releases (major breaking vs backwards compatible enhancements vs patch updates)
-1. Specify a repeatable way to build and publish software artifacts
-
-
-### Planning a release
-
-To indicate a set of features to be released together add each issue to an in-repository
-Milestone named with major-minor version to be released (e.g. `v0.1`). It is OK for other
-features to be in the release that were not originally planned, and these issues and PRs
-do not need to be added to the Milestone in question. Only the set of features that, when
-completed, would allow the release to be considered complete. A Milestone is only used to:
-
-- Plan what is desired to be in a release
-- Track progress to indicate when we may be ready to cut a new release
-
-Not all releases need to be planned. For instance, patch releases for fixes should be
-released when they are ready and when releasing would not interfere with another current
-release (where some partial or breaking features have already been merged).
-
-Unless necessary, feature releases should be small and frequent, which may obviate the
-need for regular release planning under a Milestone.
-
-
-### What is in a release
-
-Milestones are specifically for planning a release, not necessarily tracking all changes
-that a release may bring (and more importantly, not all releases are necessarily planned
-either).
-
-This is one of the (many) reasons for a Changelog. A good Changelog lists changes grouped
-by the type of change (new, enhancement, deprecation, breaking, bug fix, security fix), in
-chronological order (within groups), linking the PR where the change was made in the
-Changelog line. Furthermore, there should be a place to see all released versions, the
-release date for each release, the semantic version of the release, and the set of changes
-for each release.
-
-**This project auto-generates the Changelog contents for each current release and posts the
-generated contents to the GitHub Release page**. Leveraging the GitHub Releases feature
-allows GitHub to manage the Changelog on each release outside of the git source tree while
-still being hosted with the released assets.
-
-The Changelog is generated from the metadata from in-repository issues and PRs, using
-labels to guide what kind of change each item is (e.g. breaking, new feature, bug fix,
-etx). Only issues/PRs with select labels are included in the Changelog, and only if the
-issue/PR was created after the last release. Additional labels are used to exclude items
-from the Changelog.
-
-The above suggestions imply that we should:
-
-- Ensure there is a sufficient title for each PR and issue title to be included in the
-  Changelog
-- The appropriate label is applied to PRs and/or issues to drive specific change type
-  sections (deprecated, breaking, security, bug, etc)
-
-**With this approach as we cultivate good organization of PRs and issues we automatically
-get an equally good Changelog.**
-
-
-### Major, minor, and patch releases
-
-The latest version of the tool is the only supported version, which implies that multiple
-parallel release branches will not be a regular process (if ever). Multiple releases can
-be planned in parallel, however, only one can be actively developed at a time. That is, if
-PRs attached to a release Milestone have been merged into the main branch, that release is
-now the "next" release. **This implies that the source of truth for release lies with the
-git log and Changelog, not with the release Milestones** (which are purely for planning and
-tracking).
-
-Semantic versioning should be used to indicate breaking changes, new features, and fixes.
-The exception to this is `< 1.0`, where the major version is not bumped for breaking changes,
-instead the minor version indicates both new features and breaking changes.

+## Trust Boundary
+
+Syft is a tool to scan content and product an SBOM. Syft is not a tool designed to scan malicious content. Detecting and properly reporting on purposely malicious artifacts is outside the scope of Syft's expected operating environment.
+
+There are many possible ways for malicious content to cause Syft to become confused or fail to include results in an SBOM. We do not consider this to be a security vulnerability.
+
+**Examples**
+- Removing or altering a package lock file
+- Removing or altering an RPM or DEB database
+- A malicious archive that Syft will skip but the runtime may not
+- Self modifying systems that change state when running
+
+We consider the security trust boundary for Syft to be anything that causes problems for the overall system running Syft, or Syft operating in a way that is dangerous to itself, the system, or the operator.
+
+**Examples**
+- Filling up temp space permanently
+- Syft executing arbitrary code when scanning an artifact
+- Syft leaking secrets from the environment or configuration files into logs or SBOMs
+- Syft operating outside of the expected artifact or directory (directory traversal)
