maigret
Maigret is a OSINT tool that searches for accounts on 5,900 sites with its username only and collects information from profile pages, creating files about a person; it does not require a API key. In default execution, it scans the top 500 sites by traffic, making recursive search with usernames and other identification numbers (ID). It supports Tor and I2P sites; it states that it can partially overcome obstacles, censorship, and CAPTCHA.
