Has anyone evaluated AliasScan for username OSINT? Looking for feedback on its accuracy
I'm always looking for ways to improve my username enumeration workflow, so I've been testing a few different tools over the last couple of weeks. Recently, I came across AliasScan, which claims to search for public profiles associated with the same username across 400+ platforms.
From my initial testing, it seems useful as a starting point for identifying username reuse and building a basic digital footprint. Like any OSINT tool, I don't expect every result to be accurate, and I still verify findings manually before drawing any conclusions.

I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has used it in real investigations or research.
* How does it compare with Sherlock, Maigret, WhatsMyName, or other username discovery tools?
* Have you noticed any recurring false positives or missing platforms?
* Have you found it useful enough to include in your regular OSINT workflow?
I'm not looking for a "best tool" debate,I'm more interested in understanding where AliasScan fits in the OSINT ecosystem and whether it's worth keeping alongside the more established alternatives.
Looking forward to hearing your experiences and recommendations...
