Spider foot scan requires scan target

[elsawy]

I am new to cyber security, I am taking the netacad  Ethical Hacker course. One of the labs contains a spiderfoor scan.

I tried to do it it through  kali linux installed on virtual machine but when I entered any domain name an error message appears requires a "valid target type".

what should I type in the target, or what should I do to skip that.

Step 1: Open SpiderFoot GUI
Make sure you're using the Web UI (Graphical interface). To start it:

bash
Copy
Edit
cd /path/to/spiderfoot # default is usually ~/spiderfoot
python3 sf.py -l 127.0.0.1:5001
Then in your browser (inside the VM or host), go to:

cpp
Copy
Edit
http://127.0.0.1:5001
Step 2: Start a New Scan
Click on "New Scan", and in the Target field, enter:

For a domain:

Copy
Edit
example.com
For an IP address:

Copy
Edit
192.168.1.10
🟢 For a username or handle (social media):

css
Copy
Edit
@Username
For an e-mail address:

sql
Copy
Edit
user@example.com
You must include the right format for SpiderFoot to accept it. Just typing something like test or google without a .com, @, or IP format will throw the “valid target type” error.
