Sherlock: Find Usernames Across Social Networks (Version 2018.12.30)

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.
  --quiet, -q           Disable debugging information (Default Option).
  --csv                 Create Comma-Separated Values (CSV) 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.

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.
