Des's review: [OSINT] UserRecon

Link: https://github.com/thelinuxchoice/userrecon

This is an OSINT tool that searches the given username across 75 social media by using the CURL command. The script is written in a simple bash and currently only supports Linux. However, the tool is not so accurate as it is seen. Since the basic mechanism of the tool is to pull a page using the curl command. Hence, even some the website having a legit 404 status, it still manage to return status 1 to the curl (false alert). Overall is good, at least we can probe what user is on the internet.

Des’s review

The pro

1. Probing the user on the internet with a single username.
2. Heavily depends on social media and blogging sites.

The con

1. The script is written in curl command, a big chance on a false alarm.
2. Only support Linux due to curl command.

Des’s score: 2.5/5 (An average OSINT tool with high false alarm rate)
