False Negative for twitter search

[Cr7pt0nic]

False negative when trying to scan usernames on that have attached twitters. This could lead to false reports and would be greatly appreciated if it's fixed. This is for every username I've tried that have valid accounts but show up as false negatives for example holiday8993

Yup, I tried searching for the username, but it doesn't return any results from Twitter. But surprisingly, if you check out the result from Periscope, it redirects to Twitter as it has been closed recently.

Found the issue. Twitter's url_probe's url, nitter.net currently has an expired certificate.

This causes request_future's SSLError to be raised and causing all Twitter usernames to be flagged as not found.

Removing the "urlProbe" in data.json and running with the local flag, i.e. python sherlock holiday8993 --local will temporarily solve the issue until cert is renewed.

"Twitter": {
    "errorMsg": "<div class=\"error-panel\"><span>User ",
    "errorType": "message",
    "regexCheck": "^[a-zA-Z0-9_]{1,15}$",
    "url": "https://twitter.com/{}",
    "urlMain": "https://twitter.com/",
    "username_claimed": "blue",
    "username_unclaimed": "noonewouldeveru"
  }
