Blackbird is an open source OSINT tool designed to search for user accounts across social networks and online platforms using a username or email address. The project focuses on helping investigators, researchers, and security professionals quickly discover where a specific identity appears on the internet. It performs reverse searches across more than 600 websites by leveraging data from the community-driven WhatsMyName project, which improves detection accuracy and reduces false positives. The tool operates primarily through a command line interface, allowing users to run automated searches and gather results from many platforms in a single process. Blackbird also includes an optional AI-powered profiling feature that analyzes discovered sites to generate behavioral and technical insights about a user’s online presence. Results from searches can be exported in formats such as PDF, CSV, or JSON for documentation or reporting purposes.
