SpiderFoot 2.1.0 - Open Source Footprinting Tool

SpiderFoot:

                    simple web-based interface enables you to kick off a scan immediately after install - just give your scan a name, the domain name of your target and select which modules to enable.

                    You will quickly obtain information such as: URLs handling passwords, network ranges (netblocks), web servers, open ports, information about SSL certificates, and much more.




                       "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 designed from the ground-up to be modular. This means you can easily add your own modules that consume data from other modules to perform whatever task you desire.

                         As a simple example, you could create a module that automatically attempts to brute-force usernames and passwords any time a password-handling webpage is identified by the spidering module.


 

SpiderFoot 2.1.0 is now available, a major update over 2.0.5 which was released back in September.

Major improvements are as follows:

- Identifies sites co-hosted on IPs of your target.
- Checks whether your target, affiliates or co-hosts have a bad reputation (PhishTank, Google
SafeBrowsing, McAfee SiteAdvisor, abuse.ch and many more.)
- Identifies the ISPs and BGP AS of your target.
- Smarter at identifying owned netblocks.
- UI enhancements, including some data visualizations.
- More comprehensive searches across other Internet TLDs.
- Identifies the use of non-standard HTTP headers.
- Bing searches.
- Many tweaks, improvements and bug fixes.
