go-osint

go-osint is a lightweight, easy-to-use tool designed for Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) tasks, specifically for username and keyword searches across various platforms. Built in Go and leveraging Go routines for efficiency, this tool serves as a simplified alternative to Sherlock, making it accessible for users of all skill levels.

Features

Username Search: Find usernames across multiple platforms.
Keyword Search: Discover URLs related to specific keywords.
Output to File: Easily save search results to a specified output file.

Installation

To get started, clone the repository and build the project:

git clone https://github.com/vehbiu/go-osint.git

Usage

Quick Start

To run go-osint, use the following command structure:

go-osint [type] [term] (platform)

[type]: Specify the type of search:
- "username" for username searches
- "keywords" for keyword searches
[term]: The username, domain, or email you want to search for.
(platform): (Optional) Specify the platform to search for the username on.

```
go-osint username johndoe
```
Search for a username on a specific platform:
```
go-osint username johndoe github
```
Search for keywords:
```
go-osint keywords johndoe.22
```

Save results to a file:

go-osint username johndoe --output results.txt

Side-note / Rant

I did not want to be a 1-1 copy of Sherlock, hence, that's why all the platforms have their own functions. Although this is not the greatest feature for abstraction, it was to add a bit of uniqueness to the project. However, it should not matter much due to the nature and size of the project.
