Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct

Our Pledge

We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual
identity and orientation.

We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.

Our Standards

Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
community include:

Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
and learning from the experience
Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall
community

Examples of unacceptable behavior include:

The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of
any kind
Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
Public or private harassment
Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address,
without their explicit permission
Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
professional setting

Enforcement Responsibilities

Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
or harmful.

Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
decisions when appropriate.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
representative at an online or offline event.

Enforcement

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at [email protected].
All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.

All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
reporter of any incident.

Enforcement Guidelines

Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:

1. Correction

Community Impact: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.

Consequence: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.

2. Warning

Community Impact: A violation through a single incident or series of
actions.

Consequence: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent
ban.

3. Temporary Ban

Community Impact: A serious violation of community standards, including
sustained inappropriate behavior.

Consequence: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.

4. Permanent Ban

Community Impact: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.

Consequence: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the
community.

Attribution

List Of Sites Removed From Sherlock

This is a list of sites implemented in such a way that the current design of
Sherlock is not capable of determining if a given username exists or not.
They are listed here in the hope that things may change in the future
so they may be re-included.

gpodder.net

As of 2020-05-25, all usernames are reported as available.

The server is returning a HTTP Status 500 (Internal server error)
for all queries.

json

"gpodder.net": {
    "errorType": "status_code",
    "rank": 2013984,
    "url": "https://gpodder.net/user/{}",
    "urlMain": "https://gpodder.net/",
    "username_claimed": "blue",
    "username_unclaimed": "noonewouldeverusethis7"
  },

Investing.com

As of 2020-05-25, all usernames are reported as claimed.

Any query against a user seems to be redirecting to a general
information page at https://www.investing.com/brokers/. Probably
required login before access.

json

"Investing.com": {
    "errorType": "status_code",
    "rank": 196,

    "username_unclaimed": "noonewouldeverusethis7"
  },

AdobeForums

As of 2020-04-12, all usernames are reported as available.

When I went to the site to see what was going on, usernames that I know
existed were redirecting to the main page.

I was able to see user profiles without logging in, but the URL was not
related to their user name. For example, user "tomke" went to
https://community.adobe.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/10882613.
This can be detected, but it requires a different detection method.

When usage of automated tool is detected. Whole IP is banned from future requests.
There is an error message:

PowerShell Gallery

Accidentally merged even though the original pull request showed that all
user names were available.

json

"PowerShell Gallery": {

    "username_claimed": "powershellteam",
    "username_unclaimed": "noonewouldeverusethis7"
  },

StreamMe

On 2019-04-07, I get a Timed Out message from the website. It has not
been working earlier either (for some weeks). It takes about 21s before
the site finally times out, so it really makes getting the results from
Sherlock a pain.

If the site becomes available in the future, we can put it back in.

json

"StreamMe": {
    "errorType": "status_code",
    "rank": 31702,
    "url": "https://www.stream.me/{}",
    "urlMain": "https://www.stream.me/",
    "username_claimed": "blue",
    "username_unclaimed": "noonewouldeverusethis7"
  },

BlackPlanet

This site has always returned a false positive. The site returns the exact
same text for a claimed or an unclaimed username. The site must be rendering
all of the different content using Javascript in the browser. So, there is
no way distinguish between the results with the current design of Sherlock.

json

"BlackPlanet": {
    "errorMsg": "My Hits",
    "errorType": "message",
    "rank": 110021,
    "url": "http://blackplanet.com/{}",
    "urlMain": "http://blackplanet.com/"
  },

Fotolog

Around 2019-02-09, I get a 502 HTTP error (bad gateway) for any access. On
2019-03-10, the site is up, but it is in maintenance mode.

It does not seem to be working, so there is no sense in including it in
Sherlock.

json

"Fotolog": {
    "errorType": "status_code",
    "rank": 47777,
    "url": "https://fotolog.com/{}",
    "urlMain": "https://fotolog.com/"
  },

Google Plus

On 2019-04-02, Google shutdown Google Plus. While the content for some
users is available after that point, it is going away. And, no one will
be able to create a new account. So, there is no value is keeping it in
Sherlock.

Good-bye Google Plus...

json

"Google Plus": {
    "errorType": "status_code",
    "rank": 1,
    "url": "https://plus.google.com/+{}",
    "urlMain": "https://plus.google.com/",
    "username_claimed": "davidbrin1",
    "username_unclaimed": "noonewouldeverusethis7"
  },

InsaneJournal

As of 2020-02-23, InsaneJournal returns false positive, when providing a username which contains a period.
Since we were not able to find the criteria for a valid username, the best thing to do now is to remove it.

json

"InsaneJournal": {
    "errorMsg": "Unknown user",
    "errorType": "message",
    "rank": 29728,
    "url": "http://{}.insanejournal.com/profile",

    "username_claimed": "blue",
    "username_unclaimed": "dlyr6cd"

Sports Tracker

As of 2020-04-02, Sports Tracker returns false positives. Checking with errorMsg and response_url
did not seem to work.

"SportsTracker": {
     "errorUrl": "https://www.sports-tracker.com/page-not-found",

     "username_unclaimed": "noonewouldeveruse"
   },

Trip

As of 2020-04-02, Trip by Skyscanner seems to not work beceause it keeps on
redirecting to skyscanner.com whether the username exists or not.

json

"Trip": {
      "errorType": "status_code",

    "username_unclaimed": "noonewouldeverusethis7"
  },

Redsun.tf

As of 2020-06-20, Redsun.tf seems to be adding random digits to the end of the usernames which makes it pretty much impossible
for Sherlock to check for usernames on this particular website.

json

"Redsun.tf": {
    "errorMsg": "The specified member cannot be found",

  },

Creative Market

As of 2020-06-20, Creative Market has a captcha to prove that you are a human, and because of this
Sherlock is unable to check for username on this site because we will always get a page which asks
us to prove that we are not a robot.
