YoungerSibling

Overview

YoungerSibling is a Python-based terminal utility script designed for educational purposes. It provides a set of useful tools to perform tasks like searching the web, performing lookups (Google search, IP lookup, username lookup, etc.), and extracting metadata from images, directly from the terminal. This project aims to help students, developers, and hobbyists learn about web scraping, API usage, and terminal interaction with Python.

Features

• Google Search: Perform web searches from the terminal.
• IP Lookup: Get geolocation information about an IP address.
• Username Lookup: Check if a username exists across 400+ social media platforms, faster and more accurate than any other tool to ever exist.
• Email Lookup: Get Mail Exchange (MX) records for an email domain.
• Exif Data Extraction: Extract and display EXIF metadata from image files.

New Feature: Username Lookup

The username lookup feature is enhanced to provide faster and more accurate results than traditional tools like Sherlock. It scans over 400+ platforms for username availability and ensures high accuracy by analyzing the actual content of user profiles. With optimized performance, this tool makes username lookups quicker and more reliable, all from the terminal.

Technologies Used

• Python: The main programming language used to create the script.
• Requests: For making HTTP requests for data fetching.
• BeautifulSoup: For web scraping (specifically Google search results).
• DNS Resolver: For querying MX records of email domains.
• ExifRead: For extracting EXIF metadata from image files.
• TerminalTables: To display results in a neat, readable table format.
• Colorama: For colorizing terminal output for better readability.
