blackbird

blackbird: An OSINT tool to search for accounts by username and email across social networks.

What problem it solves

Investigators need an efficient way to find accounts associated with a particular username or email across many platforms. They also need relevant results that can be filtered, analyzed, and exported for further review.

Key features

  • Search by username or email — Search for accounts across more than 600 platforms using either a username or an email address from a single CLI.

    Source: README

  • AI-powered profiling — Analyze the sites where a username or email is found to produce behavioral and technical profiles. Only site names are sent to the AI engine.

    Source: README

  • PDF and CSV exports — Export search results in PDF or CSV format, with AI results included in PDF exports.

    Source: README

  • WhatsMyName integration — Use the WhatsMyName project to perform reverse username searches across a broad collection of sites.

    Source: README, data

Quick start

Copied verbatim from the project's README.

pip install -r requirements.txt
python blackbird.py --username johndoe

Who it may suit

Inference: may suit OSINT practitioners, security researchers, and investigators who need to locate publicly associated accounts from a username or email and organize the findings.

Topics to discuss

  • Which search filters would be most useful for different investigation workflows?

  • How should AI-generated profiles be presented to make results easier to verify?

  • Which export formats and report details would best support documentation and review?
