Comparison
TWILOX vs SpiderFoot
The graph-based OSINT scanner from Steve Micallef.
What is SpiderFoot?
SpiderFoot is a free open-source OSINT scanner with 200+ modules. It produces a deep, technical graph — exactly what an analyst wants — but the surface is operator-grade and the install/maintain burden is non-trivial.
How TWILOX compares
TWILOX runs SpiderFoot as one of its orchestrated workers, then layers Sherlock + Maigret (usernames), Holehe (email), PhoneInfoga (phone), ExifTool (image EXIF), TorBot (dark web), FaceCheck.ID and PimEyes (face recognition), and a Playwright reverse-image worker on top. Everything streams into a single Neo4j identity graph, an AI executive summary anchors the evidence, and the result is a consumer-grade cinematic dossier with one-click PDF export — no install required.
