SpiderFoot is an open-source OSINT automation tool that integrates with over 200 data sources to gather and analyze intelligence about targets. It offers both a web-based UI and CLI, with a correlation engine, visualizations, and export options for threat intelligence and attack surface mapping.

Use cases

• automate osint reconnaissance on a domain
• map my organization's attack surface
• gather threat intelligence about an ip address
• find leaked credentials or exposures for a target
• run dark web searches via tor
• correlate osint data across many sources
• export scan results to csv or json

When to choose

• you need automated OSINT across 200+ integrated data sources
• you want both a web UI and CLI for reconnaissance workflows
• you need attack surface monitoring with correlation rules
• you want a self-hosted, MIT-licensed OSINT tool with Docker support

When to avoid

• you need managed cloud OSINT with multi-user collaboration (consider SpiderFoot HX)
• you need a lightweight single-purpose recon script rather than a full platform
• you require real-time continuous monitoring with alerting out of the box in the open-source version
