AI Briefingsherlock: Track 400 Platform Accounts with a Single Username
sherlock-project/sherlock
About the project
Enter a single username to check for the existence of that account across 400+ social networks. This CLI tool is useful for quickly assessing a target's online footprint during OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) and digital forensics operations.
Search results can be exported in text, CSV, and Excel formats, and requests can be limited to specific sites or sent through a proxy. Bulk searches are possible by replacing similar name patterns with the {?} symbol, and the tool also provides a feature to automatically open discovered accounts in a browser.
Written in Python and licensed under the MIT License. It can be installed via Docker containers or pipx and is supported as a package in security-focused distributions such as Kali and BlackArch. It automates the process of manually checking sites one by one during red team testing or information gathering phases.
