not at all, the sherlock tool uses python and a large number of modules. And my tool uses bash.

If you even look at the sherlock code, there is nothing similar between them.

It is advantage. Bash is an awful language unsuitable for anything serious.

The function is similar - checking presence of a certain nickname on multiple services.

why do you think so? The advantage of my tool is that you don't need to install dependencies, just install the script.

Bash is a normal programming language, it is used in many Linux terminals.

KOLANICH commented 1 year ago

python is alredy an essential component of all distros.

Okay

mishakorzik commented 1 year ago

This UserFinder was written 2 years ago. At that time, bash was most widely used in linux

KOLANICH commented 1 year ago

No, python used to be a mandatory component for a pretty long time. At least for desktop distros (I guess this tool is intended to be used on desktops), like Ubuntu and Debian, I don't mean stripped to the bones alpine-based Docker images.

Okay
