Username OSINT

用户名OSINT

Track a handle across the internet. A reused username is one of the strongest cross-platform links in OSINT. Input: one or more usernames.

追踪互联网上的账号。重复使用的用户名是开源情报（OSINT）中最强的跨平台关联线索之一。输入：一个或多个用户名。

Step 1 — Authorized scope

步骤1 — 授权范围

Read ../../ETHICS.md. Note the objective. Done when noted.

阅读../../ETHICS.md。明确目标。完成标记：已确认目标。

Step 2 — Enumerate accounts

步骤2 — 枚举账号

Check the handle across platforms. Tools:

bash

sherlock <username>                 # hundreds of sites
maigret <username> --html           # richer, extracts profile data

Also try WhatsMyName (web) and manual checks on high-value platforms. Treat hits as candidates, not confirmations — many sites false-positive.

Done when every candidate account is listed with its URL and live/dead status.

在各平台检查目标账号。工具：

bash

sherlock <username>                 # 覆盖数百个站点
maigret <username> --html           # 功能更丰富，可提取个人资料数据

也可以尝试WhatsMyName（网页工具）以及手动检查高价值平台。将搜索结果视为候选账号，而非确认结果——许多站点会出现误报。

完成标记： 列出所有候选账号及其URL和存活/失效状态。

Step 3 — Generate variants

步骤3 — 生成变体

People reuse patterns. Pivot to variants and re-run Step 2: add/remove separators (

john.doe

john_doe

johndoe

), numbers, and common suffixes; try the local-part of any known email as a handle, and vice versa. Done when plausible variants are checked.

用户会重复使用命名模式。衍生出用户名变体并重新执行步骤2：添加/移除分隔符（

john.doe

、

john_doe

、

johndoe

）、数字和常见后缀；尝试将已知邮箱的本地部分作为账号，反之亦然。完成标记： 已检查所有合理的用户名变体。

Step 4 — Confirm & pivot

步骤4 — 确认与挖掘

For each candidate, confirm it's the same person via corroboration: matching profile photo (run

reverse-image-search

), bio text, linked accounts, writing style, join date, or a cross-link the user posted themselves. From confirmed profiles, pivot to new selectors:

Display name →
```
person-osint
```
Linked/So exposed email →
```
email-osint
```
Posted photos →
```
exif-metadata-analysis
```
,
```
geoint-photo
```
Code hosting handle →
```
github-git-recon
```

Done when each account is graded confirmed/probable/rejected with its corroborating evidence.

对于每个候选账号，通过交叉验证确认是否为同一人：匹配的头像（运行

reverse-image-search

）、个人简介文本、关联账号、写作风格、注册日期，或用户自行发布的跨平台链接。从已确认的资料中挖掘新线索：

显示名称 →
```
person-osint
```
暴露的关联邮箱 →
```
email-osint
```
发布的照片 →
```
exif-metadata-analysis
```
、
```
geoint-photo
```
代码托管平台账号 →
```
github-git-recon
```

完成标记： 每个账号均标记为已确认/疑似/排除，并附上验证证据。

Step 5 — Report

步骤5 — 生成报告

Run

osint-report

. Give a table of platform, URL, confidence, and evidence, and call out the real-identity and contact selectors the handles revealed.

运行

osint-report

。生成包含平台、URL、可信度及证据的表格，并标注账号所揭露的真实身份和联系方式线索。
