GitHub Stats
About Sherlock
Sherlock hunts down social media accounts by username across 400+ social networks simultaneously. Given a username, it queries hundreds of websites to check if an account with that username exists. Results include the profile URLs for any matches found. Sherlock is one of the most popular OSINT tools for username enumeration and is widely used in investigations, background checks, and security assessments.
About Snoop
Snoop is a powerful OSINT reconnaissance tool capable of searching for user accounts by nickname across more than 2,500 websites and online services. Originally developed with a focus on Russian-language platforms, it has expanded to cover a broad international scope that many competing tools miss. OSINT investigators, CTF players, and law enforcement analysts use Snoop to rapidly enumerate a target's digital footprint across forums, social networks, marketplaces, and niche communities. The tool supports geo-based searches, IP lookups, and integrates scraping capabilities, making it particularly effective for investigations involving subjects active on Eastern European and CIS platforms.
