On macOS, MANSPIDER uses the
spawnmultiprocessing start method. The file parser process receives a boundSpiderling.parse_filemethod, which requires the Spiderling instance to be pickled. This instance contains an ImpacketSMBConnection, whose SMB3 state contains non-picklable objects such as local lambda functions, resulting in aPicklingError.Replacing the parser subprocess with a thread avoids serializing the active SMB connection while preserving asynchronous parsing.
Additionally, spawned child processes recreate MANSPIDER's multiprocessing logging queue without starting a corresponding
QueueListener, causing console logs to disappear while file logging continues to work.
