This tool was suggested by a BlackArch user.

Working on this PKGBUILD now.

archey commented 10 years ago

I have this built, but I need to work on some permissions issues. We need to run this as root or setup a group to allow rw access to the /usr/share/spiderfoot directory.

ghost commented 10 years ago

Programs shouldn't write to /usr/share. Some users mount their root directories as read-only. If possible, we should patch the program to write somewhere else. Otherwise, we will have to find another solution. Here are a few potential solutions:

Put the package in /var
Put the package in /opt. This is better than /usr/share but still not ideal.
Make a per-user carbon copy of the program. (i.e. copy the entire program to the user's home directory when the program is run)

Push your PKGBUILD file up to your fork and I'll take a look.

File ownership should be set in install files, which run as root. Take a look at inetsim.

Ok will do, thanks for letting me continue to help out. I know that I have made a ton of mistakes, but I think I'm learning and getting the hang of it.

You don't make very many mistakes. I'm just super picky about style. Whenever I get a chance, I tweak the style of PKGBUILD files, even my own. (See 1740e958f 0fd9cb7f3 f01de595ef9 1964d126f83f3 c6fa603ff5c7 d2bff9c296e291 f835f67f097dc9 e390db7bc4 among many others.)
