user3\n```\nAccounts found will be stored in an individual text file with the corresponding username (e.g user123.txt).\n\n```shell\n$ sherlock --help\n\nHunt down social media accounts by username\n\nUsage: sherlock-rs [OPTIONS] \u003cusernames\u003e...\n\nArguments:\n  \u003cusernames\u003e...  One or more usernames to check with social networks. Check similar usernames using {?} (replace to '_', '-', '.')\n\nOptions:\n  -v, --verbose                        Display extra debugging information and metrics\n  -o, --output \u003cOUTPUT_FILE\u003e           The output file to save the results to\n  -f, --output-folder \u003cOUTPUT_FOLDER\u003e  If using single username, the output of the result will be saved to this file\n  -c, --csv                            Create Comma-Separated Values (CSV) File\n      --xlsx                           Create the standard file for the modern Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (xlsx)\n  -s, --site-list \u003cSITE_LIST\u003e          Limit analysis to just the listed sites. Add multiple options to specify more than one site\n  -p, --proxy \u003cPROXY\u003e\n  -d, --dump-response                  Dump the HTTP request to stdout for targeted debugging\n  -j, --json \u003cJSON_FILE\u003e               Load data from a JSON file or an online, valid, JSON file\n  -t, --timeout \u003cTIMEOUT\u003e              Time (in seconds) to wait for response to requests [default: 60]\n      --print-all                      Output sites where the username was not found\n      --print-found                    Output sites where the username was found\n  -n, --no-color                       Don't color terminal output\n  -b, --browse                         Browse to all results on default browser\n  -l, --local                          Force the use of the local data.json file\n      --nsfw                           Include checking of NSFW sites from default list\n  -h, --help                           Print help\n  -V, --version                        Print version\n```\n\n## Installation\n\n```shell\ncargo install sherlock\n```\n\n## Motivation\n\nI strongly dislike deploying python applications and wanted a single binary. Go get's on my nerves, Swift doesn't have great tooling server-side and on linux, C++ isn't even a question, so Rust it is.\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003cimg width=\"70%\" height=\"70%\" src=\"docs/images/reddit.png\"/\u003e\n\u003c/a\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n## License\n\nMIT © Johannes Naylor\u003cbr/\u003e\nOriginal Creator of Sherlock - [Siddharth Dushantha](https://github.com/sdushantha)\n\n## Thanks\n\n- [Siddharth Dushantha](https://github.com/sdushantha) for creating the original Sherlock\n- [Eira Fransham](https://github.com/eira-fransham) for giving me the crate name\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjonaylor89%2Fsherlock-rs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjonaylor89%2Fsherlock-rs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjonaylor89%2Fsherlock-rs/lists"}
