user-scanner is a command-line OSINT tool designed to analyze the presence and availability of usernames and email addresses across many online platforms. It helps users quickly determine whether a specific username or email is already associated with accounts on social networks, developer platforms, creator communities, gaming services, and other sites. user-scanner is useful for security researchers, investigators, and analysts performing open source intelligence, as well as individuals or businesses looking for a unique username across multiple services. By scanning many platforms in a single command, it simplifies the process of checking account existence and identifying a digital footprint. user-scanner uses a modular architecture where each platform is implemented as a small validator module that determines whether a username exists or is available.
