To search for only one user:

python3 sherlock.py user 123

To search for more than one user:

python3 sherlock.py user1 user2 user3

Accounts found will be stored in an individual text file with the corresponding username (eguser (.txt) ).

(Docker Notes)

If docker is installed you can build an image and run this as a container.

docker build -t mysherlock-image.

Once the image is built, sherlock can be invoked by running the following:

docker run --rm -t mysherlock-image user 123

The optional- RMflag removes the container filesystem on completion to prevent cruft build-up. See: (https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#clean-up—rm)

https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#foreground

Use the following command to access the saved results:

docker run --rm -t -v "$ PWD / results: / opt / sherlock / results "mysherlock-image -o /opt/sherlock/results/text.txt user 123

The- v "$ PWD / results: / opt / sherlock / results "option tells docker to create (or use) the folderresultsin the present working directory and to mount it at/ opt / sherlock / resultson the docker container. The- o /opt/sherlock/results/text.txtoption tellsSherlock (to output the result.)


Or you can use "Docker Hub" to run (sherlock) :
docker run theyahya / sherlock user 123
Usingdocker-compose
You can use thedocker-compose.ymlfile from the repository and use this command:
docker-compose run sherlok -o /opt/sherlock/results/text.txt user 123
Adding New Sites
Please look at the Wiki entry onadding new sitesto understand the issues.
NOTE: Sherlock is not accepting adult sites in the standard list.
Tests
Thank you for contributing to Sherlock!
Before creating a pull request with new development, please run the tests to ensure that everything is working great. 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.
$ python3 -m unittest tests.all --buffer --verbose
Note that we do currently have 100% test coverage. Unfortunately, some of the sites that Sherlock checks are not always reliable, so it is common to get response errors.
