os-hardware-inventory

Collects live operating-system inventory (OBOM) and host hardware inventory (HBOM) as CycloneDX documents using the cdxgen obom and hbom commands, including osquery-backed runtime artifacts, apk packages on Alpine, Wolfi and Chainguard, Linux hardening snapshots, GTFOBins enrichment, firmware and bus topology, and macOS permission troubleshooting. Use when asked to inventory a live machine or server, list a running host's installed packages, services or listening ports, compare a host's packages with a container scan of the same image, produce a hardware BOM, cover a project and the machine's hardware in one BOM, or check host trust posture. Load it before writing any command that inventories a host, including obom, hbom and cdxgen -t os, even when the user only wants to see the command.

# Live OS and hardware inventory

Two distinct documents, two distinct commands. Do not mix them.

| Want                              | Command                          |
| --------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Software on a running machine     | `obom` (`cdxgen -t os`)          |
| Physical hardware of the host     | `hbom`                           |
| Offline host from a mounted disk  | `-t rootfs` (see `container-sbom`) |

Read [reference/safety.md](../../reference/safety.md) first. Live host
collection reads far more of the machine than a project scan, so the
dry-run-and-confirm step matters more here, not less.
