Username Enumeration
Username enumeration is the OSINT technique of systematically searching for a specific username across multiple online platforms and services. By discovering where a username is registered, investigators can map a subject's online presence, find additional profile information, and identify platforms for deeper investigation. Tools automate this process across hundreds of sites.
