[fen0s]

liveleak and such sites were disabled long ago. is it possible you're using old version of Maigret? try using github version instead of pip package, or one of executables in releases

[meltingscales]

@fen0s Thank you! I will try this.

[meltingscales]

@fen0s Much better. Last time, I was using a Go version of this tool.

welllll, it's weird, but this is an old version too, because we've fixed Shutterstock and Ebay a few days ago. if you want as little false positives as possible, you gotta update maigret often, because sites change constantly and we have to adapt. perhaps we'll make an autoupdater in future...

Weird, I'll try running from source on master branch and report back.

Any luck on the given problem for now? :)

[meltingscales]

Just tested, looks like there are still some false positive detections.

Perhaps we can write a CICD test that returns a list of detectors that are out of date?

This would be useful for failing CICD each time a detector needs to be updated. Perhaps we can use Github pipelines to do this.

i.e.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euxo pipefail

dummyUsername=ASDFWowReallyNobodyWould7197425ChooseThis

result=$(python3 maigret.py "$dummyUsername")

if [ "${result}" == *"returned 0 accounts"* ]; then
  echo "Success: $dummyUsername not detected."
  exit 0
else
  echo "Failure: $dummyUsername was detected."
  exit 1
fi

Thanks for the swift answer and the proposition. We will look into it. Anyway, for now, three out of the five given sites have already been worked with and will be patched in the nearest future.

[MeowyPouncer]

All of the given sites' issues were resolved; wait for the patch.
