Grype scans container images, directories, and Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) for known vulnerabilities. Requires google-go-lang (Go 1.26.8+) to build offline with the supplied vendor archive. Go, Syft, Docker, and Podman are not required at runtime for directory/SBOM scans. Linux container-storage support is included, except the Btrfs storage driver, matching upstream's Linux builds. This does not restrict ordinary directory scans on Btrfs filesystems. Run as your normal user. Grype downloads a vulnerability database and checks for application updates by default. No database is packaged. grype dir:/path/to/project grype sbom:/path/to/sbom.json For offline scans, prepare the database with "grype db update" or "grype db import FILE", then set GRYPE_DB_AUTO_UPDATE=false and GRYPE_CHECK_FOR_APP_UPDATE=false. Stale databases may be rejected. App checks contact toolbox-data.anchore.io; image pulls need registry access. Do not assume Slackware system-package vulnerability coverage.
