Also, it's literally a script for stalking people on social media. So it's pretty clear why they want this script so bad.
Oh absolutely, anyone in a red team position is more than capable of running a few command lines. The guy is without a doubt trying to stalk someone
Why would you even need a script for that? Like, what functionality is it actually providing that can't be done through the app / web UI
It’s only a script. The software is command line. There is no native or web UI. The script isn’t some additional interface, the script is the software

I meant the app / web UI for whichever social media lol
Like, if you wanna stalk someone on Instagram, what can you get out of a script that you can't get by just opening their page the normal way
Oh the idea is that it hunts down users across different social media accounts with limited information. Just a way to automate something someone could do themselves.
As you can see here though, it checks a lot of sites
