_Charts_: Template files for [Helm][] to configure the deployment on [Kubernetes][k82].

_CI_: [Continuous Integration][wiki-Continuous-integration].

_Container_: Concept for [OS-level virtualization][wiki-container].

_Custom Resource Definition (CRD)_: This is a [concept from Kubernetes][k8s-custom-resources] to define custom resource types additionally to the provided ones from Kubernetes.

_Hook_: A _hook_ is a concept in _secureCodeBox_ to give the opportunity to react on detected findings. _Hooks_ are invoked after parsing and storing the _Findings_. There are two kinds of _Hooks_: _ReadHooks_ and _ReadWriteHooks_. See the [_hooks_ documentation](/docs/hooks) for more details.

_Job_: A Job creates one or more Pods and will continue to retry execution of the Pods until a specified number of them successfully terminate. (see [official Kubernetes documentation][k82-job-doc].)

_Finding_: This is one single possible security issue found by a _scanner_ which is stored as [well-defined format](/docs/api/finding).

_Lurker_: This _sidecar_ is a generic component responsible to "lurk" the results spit out by _scanners_ and stores it into the _storage_ for further processing by the parser.

_Operator_: The [operator pattern][k82-operator] is a common pattern in Kubernetes to extend Kubernetes.

_Raw finding_: In contrast to _findings_ these are the raw results from the scanner before they were converted into the [well-defined format](/docs/api/finding) for findings.

_Scanner_: This is the main component to actually perform a scan. This is simply a container which encapsulates a scanner tool (e.g. nmap, nuclei etc.) and invokes it, parameterized by the _custom resource definition_ for this _scan type_.

_Scanner tool_: These are the command line tools we integrate into _secureCodeBox_ to perform the actual scan (e.g. Nmpa, Nuclei, Nikto, ZAP etc.).
