How to use SHerlock to find your user name across Social networks, many novices are not very clear about this, in order to help you solve this problem, the following small series will explain in detail for everyone, people who have this need can learn, I hope you can gain something.

This is a semi-social tool called Sherlock, which allows us to find the user name of a target user across Social networks. Without further ado, let's get straight to the point.

tool mounting

Note: This tool requires Python 3.6 or higher.

First, clone the project code locally using the git command:

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

Switch to Sherlock project directory:

$ cd Sherlock

Install dependent components:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt tool using $python3 sherlock.py--helpusage:sherlock.py [-h] [--version] [--verbose] [--rank] [--folderoutputFOLDEROUTPUT] [--output OUTPUT] [--tor] [--unique-tor] [--csv][--site SITE_NAME] [--proxy PROXY_URL] [--jsonJSON_FILE] [--proxy_list PROXY_LIST][--check_proxies CHECK_PROXY] [--print-found] USERNAMES [USERNAMES ...] Sherlock:Find Usernames Across Social Networks (Version 0.7.5) positional arguments: USERNAMES One or more usernames to checkwith social networks. optionalarguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --version Display version information and dependencies. --verbose, -v, -d, --debug Display extra debugginginformation and metrics. --rank, -r Present websites ordered by theirAlexa.com global rank in popularity. --folderoutput FOLDEROUTPUT, -fo FOLDEROUTPUT If using multipleusernames, the output of the results will be saved at thisfolder. --output OUTPUT, -o OUTPUT If using singleusername, the output of the result will be saved at thisfile. --tor, -t Make requests over Tor; increasesruntime; requires Tor to be installed andin system path. --unique-tor, -u Make requests over Tor with new Torcircuit after each request; increasesruntime; requires Tor to be installed and in systempath. --csv Create Comma-Separated Values(CSV) File. --site SITE_NAME Limit analysis to just the listed sites.Add multiple options to specify morethan one site. --proxy PROXY_URL, -p PROXY_URL Make requests over aproxy. e.g. socks5://127.0.0.1:1080 --json JSON_FILE, -j JSON_FILE Load data from a JSONfile or an online, valid, JSON file. --proxy_list PROXY_LIST, -pl PROXY_LIST Make requests over aproxy randomly chosen from a list generated from a .csvfile. --check_proxies CHECK_PROXY, -cp CHECK_PROXY To be used with the'--proxy_list' parameter. The script will check ifthe proxies supplied in the .csv file are working andanonymous.Put 0 for no limit on successfully checkedproxies, or another number to institute a limit. --print-found Do not output sites where the usernamewas not found.

For example, we can use the following command to search for a specific username:

python3 sherlock.py user123

Search for multiple target user names simultaneously:

python3 sherlock.py user1 user2 user3

All user account information Sherlock searches is stored in a separate text file with the user name as the file name, such as user123.txt.

Docker

If Docker is already installed on your device, you can build an image and run Sherlock as a container:

docker build -t mysherlock-image .

Once the mirror is built, we can invoke Sherlock with the following command:

docker run --rm -t mysherlock-image user123

The--rm option allows you to remove container file systems after completing tasks to prevent redundant data from piling up. For details, please refer to the Cleaning Manual.

The-t option assigns a pseudo-TTY and allows us to highlight output data using a color scheme. For details, please refer to: [Front-end Manual].

Of course, we can also access stored results using the following command:

docker run --rm -t -v "$PWD/results:/opt/sherlock/results" mysherlock-image-o /opt/sherlock/results/text.txt user123

The-v"$PWD/results:/opt/sherlock/results" option allows Docker to create or use the "result" folder in the current directory and then load/opt/sherlock/results in the Docker container. The "-o/opt/sherlock/results/text.txt" option allows Sherlock to output analysis results.

Alternatively, you can run Sherlock directly using Docker Hub:

docker run theyahya/sherlock user123Sherlock coverage test
