mukul975 efca3ec611 feat: add NIST CSF 2.0 nist_csf field to all 754 cybersecurity skills
Mapped every skill to NIST CSF 2.0 subcategory IDs (GV/ID/PR/DE/RS/RC functions)
based on subdomain and content analysis. Restores 11 skills corrupted during
prior rebase, re-enriching with ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF, and CSF 2.0 fields.

All 754 skills now carry structured mappings for all 5 security frameworks:
- MITRE ATT&CK (in tags)
- MITRE ATLAS v5.5 (atlas_techniques)
- MITRE D3FEND v1.3 (d3fend_techniques)
- NIST AI RMF 1.0 (nist_ai_rmf)
- NIST CSF 2.0 (nist_csf)

Performing OSINT with SpiderFoot

Overview

SpiderFoot is an open-source OSINT automation tool with 200+ modules that integrates with data sources for threat intelligence and attack surface mapping. This skill uses the SpiderFoot REST API and CLI (sf.py/spiderfoot-cli) to create and manage scans, select modules by use case (footprint, investigate, passive), parse structured results for domains, IPs, email addresses, leaked credentials, and DNS records, and generate target intelligence profiles.

When to Use

  • When conducting security assessments that involve performing osint with spiderfoot
  • When following incident response procedures for related security events
  • When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
  • When validating security controls through hands-on testing

Prerequisites

  • SpiderFoot 4.0+ installed or SpiderFoot HX cloud account
  • Python 3.8+ with requests library
  • SpiderFoot server running on default port 5001
  • Optional: API keys for VirusTotal, Shodan, HaveIBeenPwned modules

Steps

  1. Connect to SpiderFoot REST API or use CLI interface
  2. Create a new scan with target specification (domain, IP, email, name)
  3. Select scan modules by use case (all, footprint, investigate, passive)
  4. Monitor scan progress via API polling
  5. Retrieve and parse scan results by data element type
  6. Extract key findings: subdomains, IPs, emails, leaked credentials
  7. Generate structured OSINT intelligence report

Expected Output

JSON report containing OSINT findings organized by data type (domains, IPs, emails, credentials, DNS records), module source attribution, and target profile summary with risk indicators.
