Usernames

This page provides a list of tools for identifying user accounts and online activity with a username (or list of usernames.)

---

Usernames are online aliases that can often help correlate information and activity between multiple platforms.

For instance, let's say we're investigating a particular individual and we have the username "JohnSmith123". We can use these tools to perform searches and discover their online presence across other platforms, potentially uncovering useful information such as names, email addresses, friends and family etc.
