* ci: run the full unit suite on windows via make unit Drops the curated `unit:windows` subset; the windows job now bootstraps like linux and runs `make unit`. Exceptions get added as failures show up. Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> * ci: skip fixture refresh for windows unit tests binny has no windows release, so the bootstrap action can't install the tools the fixture refresh needs. Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> * test: skip linux container fixtures when docker can't run them Windows CI runners only run windows containers, so image fixtures go through `testutils.SkipWithoutLinuxContainers`. No behavior change on linux/mac. Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: close leaked file handles and posix squashfs paths on windows - output writers are now closed on early returns in `scan`/`convert` (open handles block cleanup on windows) - `newSBOMMultiWriter` used `path.Dir` on host paths, so output subdirectories were never created on windows - squashfs walk paths were built with `filepath.Join` - skip a few posix-only test cases (dir perms, xdg fallback, go-rpmdb ndb handle leak upstream) Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> * fix(golang): resolve go source module dir natively on windows - `parseGoModFile` passed the resolver's posix (`/c/...`) path to the go toolchain, so go source resolution silently found nothing on windows - skip container-built fixtures (go archs, java builds) and golden image tarballs on windows; stereoscope's layer cache filenames contain `:`, which windows rejects Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: keep posix paths posix on windows - `ChrootContext.ToChrootPath` nested volumes (`D:\cwd\C:\root`) when the scan root was on another drive, so the prefix was never trimmed - bitnami, python wheel/egg, and alpm parsers used `filepath` on posix location paths - alpm backup-file lookups silently missed on windows Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> * ci: pull the test fixture cache for windows unit tests Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: don't map virtual file tree paths through the host on windows `FiletreeResolver` without a chroot (snaps) ran request paths through `filepath.Abs`, rooting them on the current volume (`/payload.txt` -> `/d/payload.txt`), so snap scans on windows found nothing. Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: match tar entry globs as posix on windows - `matchesAnyGlob` used `doublestar.PathMatch` (host separator) on tar entry names, so tar-wrapped java archives silently produced nothing on windows - test helpers now treat binary snippet keys and `FromFile` locations as posix Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> * incorporate windows path fix Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> * incorporate go-rpmdb close fix Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> * close squashfs fixture writers before finalizing - windows dir listings can report a zero size for files still open, so the manifest was packed empty (also adds a temporary windows diagnostic for the binary cataloger) Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> * temp: surface windows binary cataloger diagnostics Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: keep directory symlink targets posix on windows - the directory indexer joined symlink targets with native separators, so links in the posix file tree pointed nowhere and globs on link names found nothing - binary fixture logical keys used native separators, so nested snippets were picked as the fixture dir on windows Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> * keep addSymlinkToIndex under the funlen limit Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> * drop windows skips covered by the stereoscope and go-rpmdb bumps Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com> --------- Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com>
Syft
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.
Features
- Generates SBOMs for container images, filesystems, archives (see the docs for a full list of supported scan targets)
- Supports dozens of packaging ecosystems (e.g. Alpine (apk), Debian (dpkg), RPM, Go, Python, Java, JavaScript, Ruby, Rust, PHP, .NET, and many more)
- Supports OCI, Docker, Singularity, and more image formats
- Works seamlessly with Grype for vulnerability scanning
- Multiple output formats (CycloneDX, SPDX, Syft JSON, and more) including the ability to convert between SBOM formats
- Create signed SBOM attestations using the in-toto specification
Tip
New to Syft? Check out the Getting Started guide for a walkthrough!
Installation
The quickest way to get up and going:
curl -sSfL https://get.anchore.io/syft | sudo sh -s -- -b /usr/local/bin
Tip
See Installation docs for more ways to get Syft, including Homebrew, Docker, Scoop, Chocolatey, Nix, and more!
The basics
See the packages within a container image or directory:
# container image
syft alpine:latest
# directory
syft ./my-project
To get an SBOM, specify one or more output formats:
# SBOM to stdout
syft <image> -o cyclonedx-json
# Multiple SBOMs to files
syft <image> -o spdx-json=./spdx.json -o cyclonedx-json=./cdx.json
Tip
