Today we will gonna use a tool for username osint but before reading this blog i recommend you guys to go back and read my previous blog because in that blog i've explained the importance of username and why it is crucial for every osint investigator to investigate a username, so do not forget to read my previous blog. So in this blog we are gonna use a tool named sherlock which is an open source tool developed by sdushantha. Sherlock will search usernames in 300 different social media platforms for better results. It is also one of the widely used tool in osint and hacking industries. In order to use sherlock we need to install it first on our system, i'm gonna use my windows subsystem linux for this blog and i assume that you guys are using wsl too. Commands git clone https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock.git After cloning the tool go inside the sherlock directory and install the required packages by running the python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt command
