## Description

SpiderFoot Open Source automates open-source intelligence collection and analysis for reconnaissance and threat intelligence. Its modules connect data sources to investigate domains, IP addresses, people, and other targets through a web interface or command line.

## AI-native score: Unrated

Research coverage is 38/100. An AI-native grade requires 40/100. The provisional breakdown below shows the AI-native signals recorded so far. The AI-native score measures agent-readiness and is not a substitute for your own security or vendor-risk review. See [methodology](/methodology/) for how coverage and the grade are computed.

| Component | Applies | Raw | Effective weight | Nominal weight | Contribution |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Integration | Yes | 1/10 | 35% | 35% | 3.5 |

## Confirmed absences

These decision fields were researched and confirmed absent — not available based on current evidence, until contrary information supersedes the finding. Each carries the check performed, the page checked, and the date, so you can act on the negative without repeating the research. A label-scoped absence applies only to its label (e.g. no SOC 2 does not mean no certifications).
