⚡What is WhatsMyName ?

Note

It is a project that Micah "WebBreacher" Hoffman created in 2015 with the goal of discovering if usernames were used on a given website. He was frustrated with the false positives that were present in the username checkers of that time and so he made his own. Fast forward to today and many people have helped this open-source project evolve into what it is today. In May 2023, they decided to remove all verification scripts from the project and concentrate on the heart of the project, its data file (wmn-data.json).

Important

So in this ARCADE DB repository you'll find the tools you need to use the wmn-data.json file to its full potential.
