# Sherlock-Deno 🕵️ - search users across 350+ websites
> I don't have time to maintain this repository, so it's now archived.
Sherlock-Deno lets you quickly scan hundreds of websites for an username. 🕵️
This is an improved remake of the original
[project-sherlock](https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock) by
[sdushantha](https://github.com/sdushantha).
#### 🕵️ Why Sherlock-Deno?
- Super fast
- Extremely lightweight
- Can be run without installation
- Runs everywhere (Windows, macOS, Linux as executable/Docker/CLI command)
- Runs all checks concurrently (asynchronous)
- Cleverly looks through the response to determine if a user has an account
(status code, redirect, page content)
- Follows HTTP(S) redirections
- Only uses the deno standard modules (colors, flags)
- Secure by default (has only network permissions)
#### Status

## 🤔 How to use?
### 🦕 Install using Deno (recommended ✔️)
Simply install deno on your system with a single command. You can find the
offical command [here](https://deno.land/#installation).
#### With installation (recommended ✔️):
```
deno install --allow-net --reload --import-map=import_map.json -qfn sherlock https://deno.land/x/sherlock/cli.ts
```
Verify the installation by typing `sherlock`.
#### Without installation:
```
deno run --allow-net -q --import-map=import_map.json https://deno.land/x/sherlock/cli.ts
```
**Done!** 🎉 You now have a running version of Sherlock-Deno.
### 📦 Executable file

[latest release](https://github.com/checkerschaf/sherlock-deno/releases/latest)

## 🔄 How to update the CLI?

command from
