## What it is
Zehef is a Python command-line OSINT tool for investigating email addresses. It checks for pastes, data leaks, and linked social media accounts, and generates email combinations.

## Use cases
- check if an email appears in data breaches or pastes
- find social media accounts linked to an email address
- investigate a suspicious email during a security assessment
- generate possible email combinations for a target
- run email reconnaissance for OSINT investigations

## When to choose
- you need a quick CLI tool to gather public info on an email address
- you want to check breach, paste, and social account presence in one run
- you prefer a lightweight Python script over full OSINT platforms

## When to avoid
- you need bulk or automated email scanning at scale
- you require API integrations or a GUI/web interface
- you need guaranteed legal compliance for commercial investigations - it is educational-use only
