DISCLAIMER: DON’T DO THIS WITH ANYONE WITH ill INTENT

this is completely legal but things can take turns if Sherlock isn’t used properly.

Sherlock is a hacking tool made in python to find social media accounts; this is useful when someone has same usernames across social media platforms but otherwise this might not be as effective.

Install

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock.git

Install the requirements

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

usage

python3 sherlock {username}

You can also specify timeout duration so the scan doesn’t take long, this will be specified in seconds and is the maximum amount of seconds Sherlock will look for the username on a specific site. The default timeout is 60 seconds.

python3 sherlock {username} --timeout 25

For example,

python3 sherlock MansoorBarri --timeout 15

shows the following:
