Sherlock vs User-Scanner
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 User-Scanner
User-Scanner is a combined email and username OSINT tool that searches across 195+ vectors - 95 email platform checks and 100+ username site checks in a single run. It supports bulk scanning of multiple targets simultaneously, outputs in multiple formats (JSON, CSV, HTML report), and can cross-reference findings against known infostealer log databases to identify compromised accounts. Faster than running Holehe and Sherlock separately, with deduplication and unified reporting.
