Conflict Checks
Use it for leads, not attribution
A whatsmyname osint tool can show where a username may exist. It cannot prove identity by itself. Good OSINT work compares profile details, activity, links, and conflicts before making a call.
Category filtering
Move from broad discovery to focused review across social, coding, forum, gaming, and business sites.
Evidence-friendly output
Open found URLs, record timestamps, and keep only the profiles that pass your verification standard.
How it works
Define the handle
Start with the exact username from your case notes or source material.
Run broad discovery
Use the checker to collect public profile leads across supported sites.
Score confidence
Compare avatar, bio, links, language, timing, and topic overlap.
Document conflicts
If a profile does not fit, keep the conflict note instead of hiding it.

A practical OSINT verification checklist
Use these checks before you add a found profile to a report or investigation timeline.
Confirm the profile is public and relevant to your investigation scope.
Compare stable identifiers: avatar, handle variants, personal links, and bio text.
Look for timeline conflicts such as different languages, locations, or activity patterns.
Capture source URLs and timestamps for any profile you keep.
