Features

• Confidence scoring — every hit is scored 0–100 based on multiple signals (HTTP status, title match, body mentions), not just found/not-found
• Script-tag stripping — strips <script> blocks before analysis, eliminating false negatives caused by JS bundles on platforms like YouTube and TikTok
• Login wall detection — detects when sites (Instagram, LinkedIn) serve a login redirect instead of a real profile and flags it instead of reporting a false positive
• Headless browser mode — renders JS-heavy pages with real Chromium via go-rod for sites that don't work with plain HTTP
• Proxy & Tor support — route traffic through HTTP proxy, SOCKS5, or Tor (defaults to 127.0.0.1:9050)
• Bulk input — search multiple usernames from a file in one run
• Multi-format export — save results as TXT, CSV, or JSON with full metadata
• Concurrent workers — configurable worker pool with rate limiting for speed vs. stealth tradeoffs

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ashendilantha/stalkie
cd stalkie
go build -o stalkie .

Requires Go 1.21+. Browser mode auto-downloads Chromium on first use.

Usage

# Single username
./stalkie -u torvalds

# Bulk usernames from file
./stalkie -f usernames.txt

# Headless browser mode (for JS-heavy sites)
./stalkie -u torvalds -browser

# Route through Tor
./stalkie -u torvalds -proxy tor

# Export results
./stalkie -u torvalds -csv results.csv -json results.json

All Flags

Confidence Scoring

Each result is scored based on four signals:

Results below --min-score (default 50) are suppressed. Raise it to reduce false positives; lower it to catch weak matches.

Adding Sites

Edit sites.json to add platforms without touching source code:

{
  "name": "Example",
  "url": "https://example.com/{}",
  "errorType": "message",
  "errorMsg": "User not found",
  "titleContains": "{} - Example",
  "weight": 8
}

errorType is either "status_code" (checks HTTP response code) or "message" (looks for an error string in the page body).
