About Sherlock
Sherlock checks a username against more than four hundred social networks and services and reports where an account with that name exists, which is a standard first step in open-source intelligence work and in checking your own exposure.
Strengths
- Covers hundreds of sites from a single command
- Useful defensively for checking your own username exposure
Limitations
- False positives occur where sites return soft errors
- Profiling other people without cause raises obvious ethical and legal issues
