A powerful 2-in-1 OSINT suite engineered for deep Email and Username Intelligence.

With 380+ total scan vectorsβ€”including 155+ email-integrated sites and 225+ username platformsβ€”you can map digital footprints, analyze target behavior, uncover interests, full metadata of usernames and verify account registrations in seconds.

✨ Key Features

  • πŸ”Ž Deep Email & Username OSINT: Look up email registrations and perform advanced username profiling across 380+ platforms.
  • πŸ‘€ Rich Metadata Scraping: Scrapes avatars, bio descriptions, follower counts, UID numbers, seller statuses, and account attributes.
  • πŸ”€ Cross-Scan & Pivot Engine: Mines handles, profile links, and exposed email addresses from initial scans, automatically pivoting across secondary target vectors.
  • πŸ›‘οΈ Hudson Rock Infostealer Breach Intel: Query infostealer malware breach logs using the --hudson flag for high-priority target correlation.
  • ⚑ High-Throughput Parallel Engine: Powered by httpx and curl_cffi for maximum concurrency with automated TLS fingerprint impersonation.
  • πŸ”€ Permutation & Alias Generator: Wildcard-based username variation generation to catch typosquatting or alternative aliases.
  • πŸ“‚ Multi-Format Reports: Automated exports to PDF (with profile photos), JSON, and CSV for pipeline integration.
  • 🌐 Advanced Proxy Pivoting: Built-in proxy rotation with protocol auto-detection (http, socks5) and pre-scan health validation (--validate-proxies).
  • 🎨 Responsive Terminal UI: Dynamic progress tracking, self-adaptive category grids (-lu/-le), and clear status reporting.

πŸš€ Installation

🐍 Via PyPI (Recommended)

# Upgrade pip and install user-scanner
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install user-scanner

πŸ“¦ Virtual Environment Setup

# Create and activate virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

# Drop into a temporary shell with user-scanner active
nix shell github:kaifcodec/user-scanner/main

πŸ’» Usage Guide

1. Basic Username & Email Scanning

Scan a single username or email address across all available platform modules:

user-scanner -u johndoe             # Single username scan
user-scanner -e johndoe@gmail.com   # Single email scan

2. Cross-Scan & Pivot Intelligence

An email scan proves an account exists but rarely reveals a handle. --cross-scan mines exposed handles, profile links, and secondary email addresses from target profiles, pivoting into multi-pass reconnaissance across all matching platforms:

Pivot Direction What it Mines
-e β†’ username Handles or social links exposed on an email's registered profile
-u β†’ username Secondary aliases advertised across target social profiles
-u β†’ email Public email addresses published on target profile pages
-e β†’ email Secondary addresses exposed by initial email profiles
user-scanner -u johndoe --cross-scan                                  # Pivot from username scan
user-scanner -e johndoe@gmail.com --cross-scan                        # Pivot from email scan
user-scanner -e johndoe@gmail.com --cross-scan --cross-links verified # Platform-verified links only
user-scanner -u johndoe --cross-scan --cross-depth 2        # Follow links two hops deep

πŸ’‘ For confidence scoring, link classification rules, and cost models, see docs/CROSS_SCAN.md.

3. Hudson Rock Malware Breach Intelligence

Check if a target username or email address has been exposed in infostealer malware infection logs:

user-scanner -u johndoe --hudson             # Username malware log check
user-scanner -e johndoe@gmail.com --hudson   # Email malware log check

πŸ–ΌοΈ To view output terminal screenshots and visual previews, see docs/EXAMPLES.md.

4. Targeted Category & Module Scanning

Scan specific categories or individual modules, or list available modules in a responsive grid:

user-scanner -u johndoe -c dev                # Developer platforms only
user-scanner -e johndoe@gmail.com -m github   # Single module check
user-scanner -u johndoe -m github,instagram   # Specific comma-separated modules

user-scanner -lu                              # List user categories & modules grid
user-scanner -le                              # List email categories & modules grid

5. Bulk File Scanning

Scan multiple targets from an input file (one target per line):

user-scanner -uf usernames.txt   # Bulk username scan
user-scanner -ef emails.txt      # Bulk email scan

6. Report Exports, Options & Proxies

# Export results to PDF, JSON, or CSV
user-scanner -u johndoe -f pdf -o report.pdf
user-scanner -u johndoe -f json -o results.json

# Verbose URL reporting and show all results (including not found)
user-scanner -u johndoe -v --all

# Rotate proxies with pre-scan validation check
user-scanner -u johndoe -P proxies.txt --validate-proxies

πŸ“š Documentation Hub

Explore detailed documentation guides in the docs/ directory:


🐍 Python Library Mode

Integrate the User Scanner engine directly into your Python scripts:

import asyncio
from user_scanner.core import engine
from user_scanner.email_scan.shopping import etsy

async def main():
    # Engine validates target against module and returns Result object
    result = await engine.check(etsy, "test@gmail.com")
    print(result.to_json())

asyncio.run(main())

πŸ’‘ For complete Python API documentation and batch category checking examples, see docs/USAGE.md.
