Its goal is to automate the process of gathering intelligence about a given target, which may be an IP address, domain name, hostname or network subnet.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c2.staticflickr.com\/6\/5777\/22784225215_eaf12d0511.jpg\" alt=\"SpiderFoot - Open Source Intelligence Automation Tool (OSINT)\" \/><\/p>\n<p>SpiderFoot can be used offensively, i.e. as part of a black-box penetration test to gather information about the target or defensively to identify what information your organisation is freely providing for attackers to use against you.<\/p>\n<h3>Purpose<\/h3>\n<p>There are three main areas where SpiderFoot can be useful:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you are a pen-tester, SpiderFoot will automate the reconnaisance stage of the test, giving you a rich set of data to help you pin-point areas of focus for the test.<\/li>\n<li>Understand what your network\/organisation is openly exposing to the outside world. Such information in the wrong hands could be a significant risk.<\/li>\n<li>SpiderFoot can also be used to gather threat intelligence about suspected malicious IPs you might be seeing in your logs or have obtained via threat intelligence data feeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Features<\/h3>\n<p>SpiderFoot has plenty of features, including the following: <\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3033787195489589\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Darknet Responsive Post Ad Links [previously link ad unit] -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3033787195489589\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"5456620019\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<ul>\n<li>Utilises a lot of different data sources; over 40 so far and counting, including SHODAN, RIPE, Whois, PasteBin, Google, SANS and more.<\/li>\n<li>Designed for maximum data extraction; every piece of data is passed on to modules that may be interested, so that they can extract valuable information. No piece of discovered data is saved from analysis.<\/li>\n<li>Runs on Linux and Windows. And fully open-source so you can fork it on GitHub and do whatever you want with it.<\/li>\n<li>Visualisations. Built-in JavaScript-based visualisations or export to GEXF\/CSV for use in other tools, like Gephi for instance.<\/li>\n<li>Web-based UI. No cumbersome CLI or Java to mess with. Easy to use, easy to navigate. Take a look through the gallery for screenshots.<\/li>\n<li>Highly configurable. Almost every module is configurable so you can define the level of intrusiveness and functionality.<\/li>\n<li>Modular. Each major piece of functionality is a module, written in Python. Feel free to write your own and submit them to be incorporated!<\/li>\n<li>SQLite back-end. All scan results are stored in a local SQLite database, so you can play with your data to your heart\u2019s content.<\/li>\n<li>Simultaneous scans. Each footprint scan runs as its own thread, so you can perform footprinting of many different targets simultaneously.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can download SpiderFoot 2.6.0 here:<\/p>\n<p>Windows &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/spiderfoot\/files\/SpiderFoot-2.6.0-w32.zip\/download\">SpiderFoot-2.6.0-w32.zip<\/a><br \/>\nLinux &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/spiderfoot\/files\/spiderfoot-2.6.0-src.tar.gz\/download\">spiderfoot-2.6.0-src.tar.gz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Or read more <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spiderfoot.net\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SpiderFoot is an open source intelligence automation tool.
