`Maigret`: username-based OSINT across **3,000+** sites

A single username can fan out into accounts, profile data, and linked identities across 3,000+ sites with no API keys. Useful for founder research, competitor checks, and abuse screening, but it sits in a gray zone where privacy and false positives need handling.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Default runs hit the top 500 sites; -a expands to the full database, and --tags narrows by country or category for faster targeted checks.
  2. It can extract profile details, follow linked accounts, and recursively search discovered usernames or IDs, so one lead often turns into a wider identity graph.
  3. There is a Python-importable library plus Docker and web UI options, which makes it easy to plug into internal review flows or lightweight ops tooling.
  4. --ai can turn raw findings into a short summary through an OpenAI-compatible API, but the real value is structured collection rather than the model layer.
