Looking at the repo and some of the open issues, there have been little development activity over the last year and SpiderFoot is currently not in working condition.

That is too bad as it looks like quite a useful scanning tool, hopefully development picks back up.

What do you mean by "not in working condition". I use it frequently and it just works. The little development on the project is probably due to it's age. I'm pretty sure we were using Spiderfoot when BackTrack was still around.

Even the most feature complete software is in need of regular maintenance to assure compatability with new versions of dependencies and OS. Such maintenance would appear to have stagnated since 2022, looking at the commit history.

160 issues, and if you look into them most are user errors. or feature requests or not even issues at all.
