Transcript excerpt
So this right here is the number one open source intelligence tool on GitHub. I'm gonna show you how to install it and use it. So the first thing you're gonna do is go to this URL right here till you see this screen. And then once you see this screen, you can just close your browser cause you won't need it. Pull up your terminal. Once you have the terminal up, it's just three commands. So it's gonna be UV, V and V. And you're gonna activate that virtual environment. And then to install it, it's just UV pip install, Sherlock project. Now it's installed. To actually run it, all you have to do is type in Sherlock and then type in the username that you want to search for across the internet. And you can also type in multiple usernames. And that's basically it. Now you're searching for every account attached to that username or multiple usernames across the internet. And just comment Sherlock and I'll send you a more in-depth guide.
