## What it is
CrossLinked is a Python CLI tool that enumerates LinkedIn employee names for an organization by scraping search engine results, without needing API keys or LinkedIn credentials. It formats discovered names into an organization's account naming convention for use in security assessments.

## Use cases
- find employee names at a company for a pentest
- generate username lists from LinkedIn data
- scrape search engines for org employees without LinkedIn API
- build email lists matching a company's naming convention
- OSINT reconnaissance on an organization's staff

## When to choose
- you need employee/username enumeration during authorized penetration testing
- you want LinkedIn-based OSINT without API keys or credentials
- you need to map names to a specific account naming format

## When to avoid
- you need direct LinkedIn API access or authenticated scraping
- your use case is not authorized security research or OSINT
- you need a GUI or non-command-line workflow
