Find usernames across social networks

## Installation **NOTE**: Python 3.6 or higher is required. ```bash # clone the repo $ git clone https://github.com/TheYahya/sherlock.git # change the working directory to sherlock $ cd sherlock # install python3 and python3-pip if not exist # install the requirements $ pip3 install -r requirements.txt ``` ## Usage ```bash $ python3 sherlock.py --help usage: sherlock.py [-h] [--version] [--verbose] [--rank] [--folderoutput FOLDEROUTPUT] [--output OUTPUT] [--tor] [--unique-tor] [--csv] [--site SITE_NAME] [--proxy PROXY_URL] [--json JSON_FILE] USERNAMES [USERNAMES ...] Sherlock: Find Usernames Across Social Networks (Version 0.5.3) positional arguments: USERNAMES One or more usernames to check with social networks. optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --version Display version information and dependencies. --verbose, -v, -d, --debug Display extra debugging information and metrics. --rank, -r Present websites ordered by their Alexa.com global rank in popularity. --folderoutput FOLDEROUTPUT, -fo FOLDEROUTPUT If using multiple usernames, the output of the results will be saved at this folder. --output OUTPUT, -o OUTPUT If using single username, the output of the result will be saved at this file. --tor, -t Make requests over TOR; increases runtime; requires TOR to be installed and in system path. --unique-tor, -u Make requests over TOR with new TOR circuit after each request; increases runtime; requires TOR to be installed and in system path. --csv Create Comma-Separated Values (CSV) File. --site SITE_NAME Limit analysis to just the listed sites. Add multiple options to specify more than one site. --proxy PROXY_URL, -p PROXY_URL Make requests over a proxy. e.g. socks5://127.0.0.1:1080 --json JSON_FILE, -j JSON_FILE Load data from a JSON file or an online, valid, JSON file. --print-found Prints only found messages. Errors, and invalid username errors will not appear. ``` For example, run ```python3 sherlock.py user123```, and all of the accounts found will be stored in a text file with the username (e.g ```user123.txt```). ## Docker Notes If you have docker installed you can build an image and run this as a container. ``` docker build -t mysherlock-image . ``` Once the image is built sherlock can be invoked by running the following: ``` docker run --rm mysherlock-image user123 ``` The optional ```--rm``` flag removes the container filesystem on completion to prevent cruft build-up. See https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#clean-up---rm One caveat is the text file that is created will only exist in the container so you will not be able to get at that. Or you can simply use "Docker Hub" to run `sherlock`: ``` docker run theyahya/sherlock user123 ``` ## Adding New Sites Please look at the Wiki entry on [adding new sites](https://github.com/TheYahya/sherlock/wiki/Adding-Sites-To-Sherlock) to understand the issues. ## Tests If you are contributing to Sherlock, then Thank You! Before creating a pull request with new development, please run the tests to ensure that all is well. It would also be a good idea to run the tests before starting development to distinguish problems between your environment and the Sherlock software. The following is an example of the command line to run all the tests for Sherlock. This invocation hides the progress text that Sherlock normally outputs, and instead shows the verbose output of the tests. ``` $ python3 -m unittest tests.all --buffer --verbose ``` Note that the tests are very much a work in progress. Significant work is required to get full test coverage. But, the current tests are working properly, and will be expanded as time goes by. ## Stargazers over time [![Stargazers over time](https://starcharts.herokuapp.com/TheYahya/sherlock.svg)](https://starcharts.herokuapp.com/TheYahya/sherlock) ## License MIT © [Yahya SayadArbabi](https://theyahya.com)
