Projects/Identity & Networks

Linking identities via username and bio similarity.

The same person often reuses handles, nicknames, or bio text across platforms. This project builds software that finds those overlaps in public profiles and posts.

The tool compares usernames, display names, avatars, bios, and linked URLs, then scores how strong each possible match is. A similar name alone is not enough; each link needs supporting context.

We are building it for threat intelligence analysts who need to map sockpuppet and alternate accounts across platforms.
