- Enumerate a username across hundreds of platforms with sherlock, maigret and WhatsMyName, then correlate and confirm which accounts genuinely belong to the same person.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Hunt a handle Handle reuse is the cheapest strong link in OSINT: one string, checked in minutes, potentially tying a dozen platforms to one person. It is also the most over-trusted. Enumerators do not verify identity — they perform HTTP existence checks — and a hit list is a list of *candidates*, nothing more. The mistake that ruins these investigations is pasting the tool's output into the report. Enumeration is the cheap half; confirmation is the work. ## Step 1 — Authorized scope Read [../../ETHICS.md](../../ETHICS.md) and write down, before any query: subject, objective, in-bounds selectors, out-of-bounds actions (logging in, contacting, requesting follows), and the governing jurisdiction. Handle hunting drifts easily — one run hands you thirty new platforms, and it is trivial to end up profiling an uninvolved person who shares the string. **Done when** scope is written down and you can name what would put you out of bounds. ## Step 2 — Pick your enumerator | Holding | Reach for | Why | |---|---|---| | One handle, need breadth fast | `sherlock` | Largest quick sweep, existence only | …

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/hunt-a-handle@sha256:76c7a8ba7ad80569The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.402f6b7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
