    This repository has the JSON file required to perform user enumeration on various websites.

  • I'm a little biased and definitely use a combination of search engines and whatsmyname.app. Between the engines and WMN, I can get 85%+ of what I usually need. There are times I need a more complete option. For that, I go to the commandline and use Python tools like the WMN python checker (https://github.com/WebBreacher/WhatsMyName) , Maigret, and Sherlock. Using Python scripts have some advantages and Maigret and Sherlock check for active sites differently than WMN. So, again....multiple tools help reduce gaps. Hope this helps!
