  USERNAMES             One or more usernames to check with social networks.

  --quiet, -q           Disable debugging information (Default Option).
  --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.

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 --rm flag is optional. It removes the container filesystem after running so you do not have a bunch of leftover container filesystem cruft. 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
