What is Blackbird?
Blackbird is an OSINT tool that combines fast username and email searches across more than 600 platforms with free AI-powered profiling. It runs from the command line, and its listed features include smart filters, PDF and CSV exports, and automated analysis.
Searches use commands such as python blackbird.py --username johndoe or python blackbird.py --email johndoe@example.com. The project integrates with WhatsMyName, which has 600+ sites for reverse username search. Setup is a git clone followed by pip install -r requirements.txt, or a third-party installer called OTinstaller on Linux.
The optional AI feature analyzes the sites where a username or email is found and returns a behavioral and technical profile. Only site names are sent, usage is free with a fair daily limit, and AI results are included in PDF exports. The project developer is Lucas Antoniaci. The README states the program is for educational purposes only and must not be used without permission.
