Content

• The https://github.com/WebBreacher/WhatsMyName/wiki/Problem-Removed-Sites page has websites that we have had in the project and are currently not working for some reason. We will retest those sites (in the future) and try to find detections.
• If you would like to help with detections, we are happy to accept them via GitHub Pull Request or you can create an issue with the details of the site.
• Want to suggest a site to be added? Use this form.

Command Line Arguments

If you just want to run this script to check user names on sites and don't wish to use it in combination with another tool (like https://whatsmyname.app or one noted above), then you can use the Python script @yooper made for us, whats_my_name.py as shown below.

There are quite a few command line options available:

• Check for the user yooper, print out in a table format into console

python whats_my_name.py -u yooper -c social

• Check for the users yooper and maxim, defaults to outputing json to stdout, only returns the found results.

python whats_my_name.py -u yooper maxim

• Check for the users yooper and maxim, defaults to outputing json to stdout, returns the not found and found results.

python whats_my_name.py -u yooper maxim -a

• Check for the users yooper and maxim, defaults to outputing json to stdout, returns the sites where no matches were found.

python whats_my_name.py -u yooper maxim -n

• Check for the user yooper, on social sites

python whats_my_name.py -u yooper -c social

• Check for the user yooper, on social sites, using a different web browser agent

python whats_my_name.py -u yooper -c social --ua 1

• Check for the user yooper, print out in a csv format into console

python whats_my_name.py -u yooper -c social --format csv

• Check for the user yooper, print out in a json (default) format into console

python whats_my_name.py -u yooper -c social --format json
