My Top 10 OSINT Tools for Nickname Investigation

Maigret — Telegram bot designed to search for accounts by username on more than 3000 web resources, by default, the search is launched on 500 popular sites in descending order of popularity. Validation of Tor sites, I2P sites, and domains (via DNS resolution) is also supported.
