This seems designed to help you harass someone


It's not stalkerware if you call it "OSINT."


You mean "Digital Marketing" and "Online Ads."

At this point they've been doing it at least a decade, why should we let them have all the fun?


good idea, this should be a chrome extension that shows you what its found on every user you interact with. maybe a badge to show how many networks its found them on, and an interface to view what those networks are, instead of an extension that modifies the DOM

all powered by Enola!


can't tell if you're being sarcastic but to be clear, I meant that in a bad way.


yeah, it was inspirational


Just like HTTP I guess, now I can harass people on the other side of the planet instead of just people around me...


I remember a while ago a similar tool was posted but that one could also derivate similar accounts if any of the originally found accounts had an email exposed or something.

Does anybody know which one I'm talking about? My Google-fu is failing me



That's the one. Thanks! It's definitely better than the OP link because maigret will also look for linked accounts, so it's definitely smarter.


Brb, registering noonewouldeverusethis7 everywhere.


I'm sure I'm not the only one who makes unique usernames across social media
