Spiderfoot freezes after about an hour, no error

See original GitHub issue

Please provide a description of the issue and any relevant error messages. The scan just freezes. I am trying to run a scan on a fresh Ubuntu installation and after about an hour it just freezes and I get nothing for several hours. No error message given as it just freezes. I see that python3 becomes a zombie process though.

If you can provide an application stack trace that is even better. How do I do this?

What version of Python are you using? Python 3.8.10

What version of SpiderFoot are you using (stable release or Git master branch)? Git master branch

You may also wish to check if your issue has been posted previously: I didn’t see anything, I hope I did not miss anything.

If you’re running SpiderFoot from the GitHub repo, I suggest doing an update. The patch for the sfp_names issue was merged a few hours ago.

How many modules and threads were enabled approximately? Scan was setup with the default 3 modules. I do not know hoe many threads were going. It still hasn’t recovered yet.

Which version of Python? Python 3.8.10

Are there errors in spiderfoot.error.log ? Are there OOM error in dmesg ? Only errors I see in spiderfoot.error.log are unable to fetch errors. There is no dmesg log just debug and error in the logs folder.
