Sherlock: Bug: False positive for 3 websites

[GandelXIV]

3 False positive websites:
https://www.liveleak.com/
https://forum.redsun.tf/
https://www.twitter.com/

[sdushantha]

Upon taking a look at liveleak, I think it no longer has the ability for us to look at it's users because I cant find any username on the website. Is it the same for you or am I missing something?

[sdushantha]

I will be removing https://forum.redsun.tf/ from data.json because from looking at many of the usernames, it seems like random digits are added to the end of the usernames. This means that it pretty much impossible to check if a username exists on that website.

[sdushantha]

For Twitter, we have to find another method of detecting the existance of the usernames because whenever I try to send a request to twitter.com/username I get this message:

Something went wrong, but don’t fret — let’s give it another shot.

I will have to do further research into this to find a fix for this.

Indeed

Yes, false positives still there after doing git pull to the latest.

1. liveleak
2. redsun
3. twitter
4. ko-fi

[sdushantha]

1. ko-fi

@Luidiblu Since you added ko-fi, could you take a look at this?

[Luidiblu]

Sure! I can take a look! And fix the ko-fi false positive

[sdushantha]

@Luidiblu @jepunband I have fixed the false positive for ko-fi in 2a26f0b

[sdushantha]

Okay, I'm just gonna put this list here so that we can keep track of the sites that have been listed in this thread:

• [x] LiveLeak
• [x] redsun
• [x] Twitter
• [x] Ko-fi

---

• [x] = has been fixed or removed

[jepunband]

@sdushantha ok, now it works! no more false positives.

[morgulbrut]

1. Wikipedia
2. Tinder

seem somehow fishy too.

www.gotinder.com/@randuser just shows a "this user may have changed his name" site
and wikipedia.org, as it should, shows a "wanna add this user?" site

[sdushantha]

@morgulbrut I think it would be wise to add regex support for the error messages so that we can use multiple error messages.
Example: (Error1|Error2)

Fixed Twitter by changing to the mobile Twitter URL.

@morgulbrut The response you are getting from Tinder might be the correct response because if I try the username "sara" it actually shows an account: https://tinder.com/@sara

[sdushantha]

Tinder has been fixed in #697, thanks to @roopeshvs

[sdushantha]

Wikipedia has been fixed in #698, credits to @roopeshvs
