"Sherlock "A tool that hunt usernames from Social Network""

4/5

What do you like best about Sherlock?

Best thing is that it's an open source tool for hunting social media for usernames. It supports Mac, Windows, and Linux operating systems. This will work only with Python 3.6 and higher only. So to run this command line tool you need Python 3.6 or higher must be installed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sherlock?

As this is a terminal-based command line tool only and there is no GUI, so it is less attractive and a little bit difficult to use. If a lower version of Python is installed, it will not work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sherlock:

Very much recommending to others Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sherlock solving and how is that benefiting you?

During the Vulnerability assessment and username enumeration we are using this tool, and as this is an open source tool, so only required permission from the stakeholder to use this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
