Did you know you can search for UK number plates even with partial information? Using a '?' as a wildcard for up to two unknown characters, you can retrieve results showing the vehicleโs full registration, colour, make, and tax/MOT status.
When combined with an image, filtering by colour and make is a powerful technique to identify the correct registration.

๐ Investigating Usernames: #OSINT Tips
Username searching is a fundamental OSINT technique for mapping an individualโs digital footprint across various platforms. By leveraging specialised tools, investigators can efficiently identify where a username is active and gather valuable OSINT.
โ How They Work
These tools operate by utilising the unique URL structures of different websites. By inputting a username, the tools send requests to each platformโs profile URL to check for the existence of an active page. If the profile exists, it confirms the presence; otherwise, it flags an error. Advanced tools like Social Analyzer further analyse metadata, visualise connections, and provide detailed summaries for a more in-depth understanding.
๐ Web Applications
โจ What's My Name
Created by @WebBreacher and hosted by @osintcombine, What's My Name scans over 668 websites directly from your browser. It allows you to quickly identify active profiles without any installations.
๐ whatsmyname.app
โจ OSINT Rocks
This platform integrates CLI tools like Sherlock and Maigret into a user-friendly web interface. Ideal for users who prefer a web-based approach while leveraging robust backend capabilities.
๐ osint.rocks
โจ @AnalyzeID
AnalyzeID searches across 80 social sites, providing a summary of the usernameโs online presence. It helps you gather detailed information about the individual behind the profile with ease.

๐ฅ๏ธ CLI Tools
๐ป Sherlock
Developed by @sidheart, Sherlock is an open-source tool that searches for a username across 400+ platforms, offering extensive customisation for advanced investigations.

๐ป Social Analyzer
Developed by @qeeqbox, Social Analyzer offers advanced features such as metadata extraction, multi-profile correlation, and customizable search options, making it a powerful tool for thorough investigations.
