The release of the Snoop 1.4.2 project has been published, developing a forensic OSINT tool that searches for user accounts in public data (open source intelligence). The program analyzes various websites, forums, and social networks for the presence of a specified username, enabling identification of sites housing the user with the indicated nick. The project is based on research work in the field of public data scraping. Builds have been prepared for Linux and Windows. <\/p>\n
The code is written in Python and is distributed under a license that restricts its use to personal purposes only. The project is a branch of the Sherlock project codebase, which is provided under the MIT license (the fork was created due to the inability to expand the website database). <\/p>\n
Snoop has been registered in the Russian Unified Register of Russian Programs for Electronic Computing Machines and Databases under the declared code 26.30.11.16: \"Software ensuring the execution of established actions during search and investigative activities: No7012 order 07.10.2020 No515\". Currently, Snoop tracks user presence across 4752 internet resources in the full version and on the most popular resources in the Demo version. <\/p>\n
Key Changes: <\/p>\n
\n
The search database has been expanded to 4752 sites.\n
The calculation of the value \"bad_raw\" has been corrected when searching for multiple \"username\" from the CLI or when started with the option \u2018--userlist\/-u\u2019.\n
In the Windows version, optimization of working with HTTP libraries has been conducted, which in some cases accelerated searches by 20-25%.\n
The efficiency of repeated requests during unsuccessful connection attempts has been improved.\n
