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).
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.
