smicallef/spiderfootAutomates OSINT data collection and analysis for threat intelligence, attack surface mapping, and reconnaissance. Integrates 200+ modules for DNS, email, social media, and dark web investigation.
SpiderFoot is an open source intelligence (OSINT) automation tool. It integrates with just about every data source available and utilises a range of methods for data analysis, making that data easy to navigate.
SpiderFoot has an embedded web-server for providing a clean and intuitive web-based interface but can also be used completely via the command-line. It's written in Python 3 and MIT-licensed.

We have a comprehensive write-up and reference of the correlation rule-set introduced in SpiderFoot 4.0 here.
Also take a look at the template.yaml file for a walk through. The existing 37 rules are also quite readable and good as starting points for additional rules.
