Project Snoop, an excellent tool to search for user accounts in public data

The launch of the new version of "Project Snoop 1.3.3", which is developed as an OSINT forensic tool that searches for user accounts in public data (under the use of open source intelligence).

The program scans various sites, forums and social networks for the presence of the username that is, it allows you to determine on which sites there is a user with the specified nickname. The project was developed on the basis of a research work in the field of public data scraping.

The code is written in Python and has a restrictive personal use license. At the same time, the project is a fork of the Sherlock project codebase, supplied under the MIT license (the fork was created due to the inability to expand the site base).

Project Snoop 1.3.3

In this new version of the tool they were added to the video archive tips on how to get started quickly for novice users that have not worked with the CLI.

For Snoop for Termux (Android) added automatic opening of search results in external browser no overlapping results in the CLI (at user request, opening results in external web browser can be ignored).

Besides that the appearance was updated from the output of results in CLI when searching for nicknames, along with the updated Windows XP style license output. Progress has been updated (previously, progress was updated as data was coming in and thus seemed to be frozen in full versions), progress is updated several times per second or when data arrives in the verbalization mode of the '-v' option.

Also added a text report: the file 'bad_nicknames.txt', which records the missing date / nickname (s), updating the file (rewrite mode) during search, for example with the '-u' option.

Added a new option '–Headers' '-H': manually configure the user agent. By default, a random but real user agent is created for each site or selected / redefined from the Snoop database with an extended header to bypass some 'CF protections'.

Added correct software stop mode with resource release for different versions / platforms of Snoop Project (ctrl + c).

It is also highlighted that added a snoop splash screen and some emoji when the search nicknames are not specified or conflicting parameters are selected in the CLI arguments (exception: snoop for Windows operating system - old CLI OS Windows 7).

Several information panels were added: in the database display list, all; in verbose mode; new block 'snoop-info' with option '-V'; with the -u option, split into groups nickname (s): valid / invalid / duplicate; in CLI Yandex_parser-a (full version).

Also fixed site response time in csv reports it is separated by a 'correct fractional sign', taking into account the user's locale, that is, the number in the table is always one digit regardless of the fractional sign, which directly affects the classification of results by parameter.

Data below 1 KB is rounded more precisely, more than 1 KB with no fractional part Total time (was in ms, now s / cell) When saving reports with the '-S' option or in normal mode for sites using specific nickname detection method (s): (username.salt) The size of the session data is now also calculated.

    Hello,

    After ubverturing it for a long time, the tool works well, it is very fast, its installation and use is relatively easy, but in your post it is clarified that it is a demo version that only works with a limited database of sites.

    I suppose that a contribution must be made to the developer so that the entire sites database is enabled.

    Thanks for sharing and if someone has already tried the full version, I will be attentive to read them.

    Greetings.
