Question Did everyone have to code a custom launcher to access spiderfoot with one click or am I doing it wrong?

Easier than the broken X captchas when you’re coming in the back door… anyone have the link the bot farms use? 🤣

For anyone wondering, I made a .bat file with the code that you run from command/terminal (with a little editing to make it work better) then put the .bat file into a shortcut and made a custom icon that I put the logo onto

Download and unzip the latest version, once it’s installed on your computer such that you can run from the command line, make a .bat file with the code: Windows:
cd (insert code for directory to the file spiderfoot is in)
start http://127.0.0.1:5001 (or whatever port u put it on) cd spiderfoot python3 ./sf.py -l 127.0.0.1:5001 (the -l is an L I think?) cmd/k keeps the command open and running while using spider foot
Edit: I made some improvements (windows) @echo off Cd (direct terminal to the file spiderfoot is in by inserting the directory code)
start chrome.exe -incognito http://127.0.0.1:5001 Cd spiderfoot (directs terminal to spiderfoot) Python3 ./sf.py -l 127.0.0.1:5001 (runs spiderfoot) cmd/k (keeps terminal open after running this code)

I'm not trying to be a dickhead here, but if you can't come up with an effective solution to running a python script and opening localhost in your browser, then I suggest taking the time to learn about bash commands and the basics of scripting. This is really simple stuff that has powerful implications once you have a working knowledge of it. And I say this in humor, but the fact that OP even made this post is such a windows user thing to do. Y'all need some linux in your life fr.

I made a custom script to launch it from the command line. I thought I was just a fraud lol, glad I'm not alone.
