GoSearch is an open source OSINT tool designed to investigate a person's digital footprint by searching for usernames across hundreds of websites. The tool scans more than 300 platforms to determine whether a specific username exists on social networks and other online services. Built with the Go programming language, it aims to provide faster performance compared to similar tools written in other languages. GoSearch was inspired by the well-known Sherlock username search tool, but it attempts to address several of its limitations such as slow execution, outdated sources, and inaccurate results. The tool reduces false positives and false negatives by clearly marking uncertain matches, allowing users to quickly identify reliable results. In addition to username searches, GoSearch can check various breach intelligence databases for compromised credentials linked to a username. If password hashes are found in breach data, the tool can attempt to crack them using the Weakpass database.
