GoSearch is a Go-based CLI OSINT tool that searches a username across 300+ websites to find a person's digital footprint, serving as a Sherlock alternative. It also queries breach credential APIs (HudsonRock, ProxyNova, BreachDirectory) to surface leaked credentials associated with a username.

Use cases

• find all social media accounts for a username
• check if a username exists on 300+ websites
• osint reconnaissance on a target's digital footprint
• search leaked credentials by username
• sherlock alternative for username enumeration
• red team reconnaissance of a person's online presence

When to choose

• you need a fast, concurrent username scan across many sites
• you want a maintained Sherlock alternative written in Go
• you want username-based breach credential lookups in one tool

When to avoid

• you need deep scraping of site content rather than username existence checks
• you need a GUI or web interface
• your environment flags OSINT tooling as disallowed
