ReportDeveloper from India who builds open source OSINT and security tools. I wrote and maintain Helix on my own: the engine, the site checks, the releases on PyPI, Docker, BlackArch and the AUR, and the daily public status page.
Helix
Helix checks a username across about 12,000 sites and re-checks every account it finds against made-up usernames before reporting it, so a site that says yes to any name cannot produce a false result. Every site is tested once a day against a real account and a made-up name, with the results on a public status page. Results are graded for how likely the accounts belong to one person and can be sealed with a fingerprint so anyone can verify later that nothing was edited. It also shows people their own footprint with a delete link for each account, and watches a username over time. Runs on the user's own machine: no account, no telemetry. Built for investigators, journalists and security researchers, and for ordinary people checking what is public about them.
One year of Helix development
One year of part-time work, paid by milestone: publish an open accuracy test on real accounts against Sherlock, Maigret and Blackbird; raise the share of sites that answer above 95% with zero false positives; ship Helix inside Trace, Maltego and SpiderFoot; get the translations checked by native speakers; keep the daily site check, releases and packages running. Progress posted on GitHub every quarter.
Support Helix
Any amount, once or every month. It pays for my time keeping the site checks honest.
