SpiderFoot: Free open-source footprinting tool

"Footprinting" is the process of understanding as much as possible about a given target in order to perform a more complete security penetration test. Particularly for large networks, this can be a daunting task.

The main objective of SpiderFoot is to automate this process to the greatest extent possible, freeing up a penetration tester's time to focus their efforts on the security testing itself.

SpiderFoot is a free, open-source footprinting tool, enabling you to perform various scans against a given domain name in order to obtain information such as sub-domains, e-mail addresses, owned netblocks, web server versions and so on. The main objective of SpiderFoot is to automate the footprinting process to the greatest extent possible, freeing up a penetration tester's time to focus their efforts on the security testing itself. Grab it from:

Scans are even more configurable than before

All scan data stored locally in an SQLite database for querying, reporting and analysis - Many more scans/tests included (GeoIP, URL linkage, web technology, port scans...) - You can now easily extend functionality by writing your own modules in Python

Completely new user interface, which is now entirely web-based

Configuration state is stored between runs

Scanning can be remotely controlled
