sherlock-java

Minified Java version of sherlock project (https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock). Requires Java 11 or above.

• Accepts only 1 username at a time.
• Lookup a username from list of 1000 social networks and gives summary.
• Super fast and lightweight. (REASON: uses Async model instead of traditional java.lang.Threads)
• Social website list taken from https://github.com/qeeqbox/social-analyzer)
• PLEASE NOTE: it simply relies on the HTTP status of the requests. (200/301/302 = Found, 404 = Not found, all others = Failed)
• Therefore, not 100% accurate. There maybe some false-positives with some sites.

Requirements

• Java JDK 17 or later

How to Use

• Using your Terminal (or Powershell), build executable JAR with: ./mvnw clean package.
• Remember to pass the username as an arg of Main method as shown below.
• If running inside an IDE, (eg. Eclipse or IntelliJ) you can set the username arg in: Run Menu > Edit Configuration > Arguments
• Make sure the file websites.json is in the classpath.

# For example, looking up username "davis":
java -jar target/sherlock-java.jar davis
