## What it is
DockerScan is a comprehensive Docker security scanner written in Go that scans containers, images, and registries using multiple techniques based on CIS Benchmarks, NIST SP 800-190, and recent supply chain attack research. It supports SARIF output and exit codes for CI/CD integration, plus a plugin architecture for extensibility.

## Use cases
- scan docker images for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
- audit a docker registry for security issues
- check containers against CIS benchmark and NIST SP 800-190
- find package CVEs in container images
- integrate container security scanning into CI/CD pipelines
- detect docker supply chain attack patterns
- generate SARIF reports from container scans

## When to choose
- you need a single tool combining multiple Docker security scanning techniques
- you want SARIF output and automation-friendly exit codes for CI/CD
- you need registry and image scanning based on CIS/NIST standards
- you prefer a fast, concurrent scanner written in Go

## When to avoid
- you need a permissively licensed tool, since the license is proprietary
- you rely on package CVE detection in versions 2.0.6 or earlier, which silently report zero CVEs
- you need mature ecosystem support like Trivy or Grype with broad vulnerability database coverage
