One people have many social medias, for example Lara De Silva have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube Accounts. How we can find all his social accounts ? the answer is Sherlock. With this tool you can find social network usernames from many social media. Shelock will grab accounts with same usernames and show the link to go there. You don’t have to search one by one, but yeah you have to confirm wich accounts matches with that person by yourself.

For example, run python3 sherlock.py user123, and all of the accounts found will be stored in a text file with the username (e.g user123.txt).
Docker Notes
If you have docker installed you can build an image and run this as a container.
Once the image is built sherlock can be invoked by running the following :
The optional --rm flag removes the container filesystem on completion to
prevent cruft build-up. See https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#clean-up—rm
One caveat is the text file that is created will only exist in the container so you will not be able to get at that.
Or you can simply use “Docker Hub” to run sherlock :
Adding New Sites
Please look at the Wiki entry on adding new sites to understand the issues.
Tests
If you are contributing to Sherlock, then Thank You!
Before creating a pull request with new development, please run the tests to ensure that all is well. It would also be a good idea to run the tests before starting development to distinguish problems between your environment and the Sherlock software.
The following is an example of the command line to run all the tests for Sherlock. This invocation hides the progress text that Sherlock normally outputs, and instead shows the verbose output of the tests.
