One handle, many platforms.

Username OSINT runs one handle across built-in platforms (GitHub, GitLab, Dev.to, Hacker News) and optional extended modules. Each platform returns its own card so you can see hits and misses side by side without retyping the handle.

Investigators use this to map a suspect handle across dev communities and social sites in one pass. A hit stack of five or six live profiles from a single query is common when the username is unique; even partial hits narrow which platforms deserve manual review.

What you enter

  • One username or handle (no @ required on most modules)
  • Optional platform filter in the dashboard sidebar
  • Same string can be reused in breach or stealer from the unified hub

What comes back

Per-platform cards with hit badges and profile URLs (illustrative).

Hits include a direct profile link, display name when the upstream exposes it, and a green hit badge. No-hit modules stay visible with a muted state so you know the scan completed. Export JSON bundles every platform response for case files.

Next pivots

Take any email from a GitHub noreply or bio link, then run breach and stealer on that address. Gaming handles often match Roblox roblox-profile mode.
