NAME¶

sherlock - Find usernames across social networks

SYNOPSIS¶

sherlock [POSITION] [argument]

DESCRIPTION¶

sherlock relies on the site's designers providing a unique URL for a registered

username. To determine if a username is available, Sherlock queries that URL, and

uses to response to understand if there is a claimed username already there.

Currently, the tool is capable of locating users on more than 300 social networks:

Apple Developer, Arduino, Docker Hub, GitHub, GitLab, Facebook, BitCoinForum, CNET,

IFTTT, Instagram, PlayStore, PyPI, Scribd, Telegram,TikTok, Tinder etc.
