01How it works

Same username,same person?

People reuse usernames. askOSINT finds where a username is in use, then does the harder part: working out which of those accounts belong to the same person and which only share the name.

  1. 01

    Enter the username

    Paste a username or a profile link. A name or email helps separate real matches from namesakes.

  2. 02

    We do the research

    askOSINT finds where the username is in use across the public web.

  3. 03

    Matches are weighed

    Accounts that really connect are linked, with the reason why. A shared name alone stays unconfirmed.

  4. 04

    Get your report

    The accounts that belong together, and where each one leads.

02What you get

What the researchcan find.

It depends on what is public about the subject. Where these exist and hold up, the research brings them together, each with its source.

  1. 01

    Where the username is in use

    Websites and platforms where an account with that name appears to exist, each with its link.

  2. 02

    Which accounts connect

    The accounts the evidence ties to the same person, and why.

  3. 03

    Related usernames

    Other names the same person appears to use.

  4. 04

    Profiles to confirm

    Possible profiles waiting for you to accept or reject them.
