- Its a `rabbit hole`.
- So there is no file with this challenge - it's more of an OSINT challenge
- The challenge name is a good hint - `sherlock Holmes`.
- Since its given in `Forensics` I have gone through out the internet and finally ended up in the [`Sherlock - Project`](https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock).
- This is a tool to `Hunt down social media accounts by username across social networks`.
- Clone the repo and try with the text given.
