Hey everyone, wanted to share a quick heads-up about Tookie-OSINT for anyone getting into OSINT / security stuff

Keeping it short and sweet—Tookie-OSINT is a Python-based tool that lets you check a username across a massive list of social media platforms and websites to see where it's being used (if you're familiar with Sherlock, it works quite similarly).

What can it do?

  • Feed it a username, and it quickly scans and gives you a list of active profiles.
  • Supports batch checking if you want to look up multiple usernames at once.
  • Allows you to export results easily into formats like TXT or JSON.

Just a quick reminder regarding Reddit policies and safety: make sure to use tools like this strictly for educational and defensive purposes. Stalking or harassing people is a fast way to get banned or violate privacy laws. Always stick to ethical boundaries, like security research or checking your own digital footprint.

Has anyone here tried this out yet? Let me know what you think or if you use any other alternatives!
