SpiderFoot automates OSINT for threat intelligence and mapping your attack surface.
This repository page is useful for visitors, but Git-Stars keeps it out of search indexing until more original evidence and comparison context are available.

Problem solved
It solves the problem of manually gathering and correlating OSINT data from multiple sources, providing automated reconnaissance for offensive and defensive security purposes.
Deployment reality
The available setup signal starts with: pip3 install -r requirements.txt && python3 ./sf.py -l 127.0.0.1:5001. Treat this as a starting point, then ask Codex or Claude to inspect the README, environment variables, runtime version, and deployment target before production use.
Commercial use
The recorded license is MIT. This is a useful commercial-use signal, but teams should still verify license text, dependencies, model/API terms, and trademark constraints.
Capability ceiling
smicallef/spiderfoot still needs a clearer capability analysis. Use the metadata as a discovery signal, not as a production recommendation.
Git-Stars is independent and not affiliated with GitHub or this project. Analysis may be AI-assisted and based on public repository metadata plus short README-derived summaries. We do not mirror full README files, docs, issues, or social comments.
smicallef/spiderfoot is tracked as a Python project in the Developer Tool area. This evaluation combines public GitHub metadata, category signals, short source summaries, and Git-Stars editorial rules rather than copying project documentation.
Momentum check: the repository has 21k total stars, with +0 today, +963 this week, and +0 this month. These growth windows help distinguish durable adoption from short-lived visibility spikes.
Maintenance check: current activity is Moderate; the latest push was 131 days ago, and the open issue queue is 298, about 1.41% of total stars. Treat this as an adoption signal, not a substitute for engineering due diligence.
Adoption check: 3.4k forks and 21k watchers suggest how often the project is reused or followed. License signal: MIT. Always verify license compatibility before commercial or internal use.
Practical fit: this project is most relevant when you need Python teams evaluating ecosystem-native tooling. Be cautious when you need a legal review, security audit, or production SLA.
Source check: Git-Stars currently has 2 explicit source reference(s) for this report and a recent growth signal of 963. Follow the original GitHub repository for final install, security, and release information.
