You don't have time searching every profile with a username. Instead, you can leverage concurrency and a binary that does the work for you, and then some.
I initially wrote this project to learn Go, an upcoming programming language used for backend services. I decided to create a Sherlock clone, addressing some of its faults, limitations, and adding more features. This eventually led to a community driven OSINT tool that was praised in the OSINT letter.
GoSearch isn't limited to searching websites; it can search 900k leaked credentials from HudsonRock's Cybercrime Intelligence API, over 3.2 billion leaked credentials from ProxyNova's Combination Of Many Breaches API, and 18 billion leaked credentials from BreachDirectory.org with an API key (see Use Cases)
