Hi Giusuppe, Thanks for the message. What you are unfortunately experiencing is OSX SIP (System Integrity Protection). Apple has implemented this as of El Capitan (onward) which over the years has disabled various functionality, currently disabling direct memory reads via kernel extension (kext) even as root. ReconSpider = Recon + Spider Recon = Reconnaissance Reconnaissance is a mission to obtain information by various detection methods, about the activities and resources of an enemy or potential enemy, or geographic characteristics of a particular area. Spider = Web crawler.

ReconSpider is most Advanced Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Framework for scanning IP Address, Emails, Websites, Organizations and find out information from different sources. ReconSpider can be used by Infosec Researchers, Penetration Testers, Bug Hunters and Cyber Crime Investigators to find deep information about their target.
