Why should use WhatsMyName data for username enumeration? There are many other sites that "do" username enumeration but most don't do what we do.
When @webbreacher created WMN in 2015, username checker sites at that time were providing many false positive results. All they did was send a request to a target website and, if the site didn't give them an error code in response, then the username must exist on that site. Right?
Absolutely not. Web server responses vary so our tools must as well. WMN has a list of responses that it expects to receive from the target web server. If it gets one response, then the user account is likely there. If it gets another response, it is likely the user account does not exist. We do NOT just look at the HTTP response code from the server.
These extra steps mean that checking tools like https://whatsmyname.app and others (https://github.com/WebBreacher/WhatsMyName#toolsweb-sites-using-whatsmyname) can be more accurate than other checkers.
Hello #osint community. We are going to be removing the python checker script from our GitHub repository in the coming days and focus our efforts on our detections and accounts.
Please visit the GitHub repo at https://GitHub.com/webbreacher/whatsmyname to see a list of all the checker tools that use our json file.

Hi #OSINT community. We just made a few changes to the WhatsMyName JSON file:
Tool developers now have more control over their requests.

We understand that there is/was an issue that some users were having with running our python script.
We've issued a temp fix that should address this. If you downloaded WMN and run it via Python, do a "git pull" and then install the requirements. Should work fine. #osint
Added K2OSINT Bookmarklet to the https://github.com/WebBreacher/WhatsMyName/blob/main/README.md page. It lets you enter a username in a popup and then opens a new tab with the WMN results in your browser. Simple. Elegant. Effective.
Made a quick video/GIF of using the tool.
How are you using WMN?
