The command rekor-cli search --sha ${6b86b273ff34fce19d6b804eff5a3f5747ada4eaa22f1d49c01e52ddb7875b4b}
is used to search for a specific cryptographic hash value (SHA-256 in this case) in the Rekor database.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
rekor-cli
is a command-line tool used to interact with the Rekor system, which is a tamper-evident, open-source transparency log for software supply chain security.search
is the action being performed to search for a specific entry in the Rekor database.--sha
is an option that specifies the type of search being conducted. In this case, it uses SHA-256 as the hash algorithm.${6b86b273ff34fce19d6b804eff5a3f5747ada4eaa22f1d49c01e52ddb7875b4b}
is the value being searched for. It represents a specific SHA-256 hash value that you want to find in the Rekor database.
When executed, the command will search for entries in the Rekor database that match the provided SHA-256 hash value and return the relevant information associated with those entries.
