• GIF preview v-0.2.0 - without latest changes'

Gem is still in alpha, many things will be added (like scrapping info from social networks). Breaking changes are highly possible, so I do not suggest use of this gem except for development and test. That means, do not use it in production services, otherwise feel free to play with it.

Moriarty

Tool to check social networks for available username.
Idea from python tool - sherlock

What it do

Search multiple social networks for free username. It's reverse from Sherlock, so not-found username is success. Argument --hunt will run search like sherlock would, looking for valid users.

How to install

Clone repo and install dependencies:

# Moriarty use rest-client, nokogiri and colorize gems
 git clone https://github.com/decentralizuj/moriarty.git && cd moriarty && bundle install

Or install from rubygems:

DISCLAIMER: GitHub repository is updated before Rubygems. Before v-1.0.0 is released, recommended way is to clone repo, or install with bundler from git.

# local
 gem install moriarty

# bundler
 gem 'moriarty', '~> 0.2.0'

# bundler from github
 gem 'moriarty', git: 'https://github.com/decentralizuj/moriarty'

How to use

Run script from terminal, you will receive info about free/taken username. To search for registered user, execute with --hunt as argument.

Read source-code, each method is explained with examples.

# if installed localy, you can run 'moriarty' without 'ruby bin/'
#  > $ torify moriarty decentalizuj --hunt

 ruby bin/moriarty
 # => print usage instructions

 ruby bin/moriarty USERNAME1 USERNAME2 USERNAME3
 # => search for free usernames ... ... ...

 ruby bin/moriarty --hunt USERNAME1 USERNAME2 USERNAME3
 # => hunt registered usernames ... ... ...

To use Moriarty in your own project, available methods are:

 @jim = Moriarty.new( 'somename', 'facebook.com' )
 # => prepare request for 'https://facebook.com/somename'

 @jim.go
 # => check facebook for username 'somename', return true/false

 @jim.go site: 'github.com'
 # => search github.com, but do not change default :url

 @jim.go site: 'github.com', user: 'decentralizuj'
 # => search new user and site without changing defaults

 @jim.url
 # => 'https://facebook.com/' -> get url

 @jim.user
 # => 'somename' -> get user

 @jim.url = 'instagram.com'
 # => 'https://instagram.com/' -> set url

 @jim.user = 'moriarty'
 # => 'moriarti' -> set user

 @jim.search 
 # => alias for #go

CLI is there to test main class Moriarty in terminal.
It's created from self methods: #find!, #hunt!, #print_url and #print_name Methods with bang (#find!) run on self, while #find run on instance.

 Moriarty.find! 'somename', 'instagram.com'
 # => execute search and print colorized output

 Moriarty.find! 'somename', 'github.com', :hunt
 or
 Moriarty.hunt! 'somename', 'github.com'
 # => execute hunt and print colorized output

Methods #print_url and #print_name are there to construct data for print.
We have url and name as instance variables, so this is self method.

# remove all extensions, if there's any (http(s), .www, .com)
# first look for 'http(s)', then 'www.', remove if found
# if domain have more routes (rubygems.org/profiles), remove it
# this way subdomains are accepted and part of site-name

 Moriarty.print_url 'https://www.github.com/'
 # => 'github'

# Remove symbols from username ('@, #, /u/')
# this will be changed in future

 Moriarty.print_name '/u/moriarty'
 Moriarty.print_name '@moriarty'
 Moriarty.print_name '#moriarty'
  # => 'moriarty'

Methods #p1 and #p2 are there to print colorized output

# p1 wrap string with braces, bold by default
 Moriarty.p1('mystring', :green, :white, :regular)
 # => '[mystring]' -> string is green, bracelets are white

# p2 only print string colorized, and/or bold
 Moriarty.p2('mystring', :red, :bold)
 # => 'mystring' -> red and bold

Contribution

At the moment I do not need any contribution on this project, but that will change after v1. That will be in about 1 month, so you can watch repository to stay updated with latest changes. Github is always updated before rubygems. And again, after v1, that will be automated.
