From 2d901306d900a59fe9aa12c873abf4ea6862ede5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dollaransh17 Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2025 23:19:43 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(sites): Remove defunct mastodon.cloud instance The mastodon.cloud instance appears to be defunct as both existing and non-existing usernames redirect to the same error page. This causes false positives in username detection. --- sherlock_project/resources/data.json | 6 ------ 1 file changed, 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/sherlock_project/resources/data.json b/sherlock_project/resources/data.json index b30ec9298..2ed263043 100644 --- a/sherlock_project/resources/data.json +++ b/sherlock_project/resources/data.json @@ -2671,12 +2671,6 @@ "urlMain": "https://www.livelib.ru/", "username_claimed": "blue" }, - "mastodon.cloud": { - "errorType": "status_code", - "url": "https://mastodon.cloud/@{}", - "urlMain": "https://mastodon.cloud/", - "username_claimed": "TheAdmin" - }, "mastodon.social": { "errorType": "status_code", "url": "https://mastodon.social/@{}", From 9464dbfcc88b11e6373c3c6cd08e7aa811a11d2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dollaransh17 Date: Sun, 5 Oct 2025 22:47:18 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Restore mastodon.cloud - but still seeing redirect issues? MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit @ppfeister I've restored mastodon.cloud as you mentioned it's working, but I'm still seeing both valid and invalid usernames redirect to the same page: Valid user: https://mastodon.cloud/@TheAdmin → redirects to https://media.mastodon.cloud/cloud-093img.html Invalid user: https://mastodon.cloud/@nonexistentuser12345 → also redirects to same page This causes Sherlock to report both as 'Found' since they return same 301 status. Could you double-check if you're seeing different behavior? Maybe it's regional or the instance was temporarily down when I initially tested? --- sherlock_project/resources/data.json | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/sherlock_project/resources/data.json b/sherlock_project/resources/data.json index 2ed263043..b30ec9298 100644 --- a/sherlock_project/resources/data.json +++ b/sherlock_project/resources/data.json @@ -2671,6 +2671,12 @@ "urlMain": "https://www.livelib.ru/", "username_claimed": "blue" }, + "mastodon.cloud": { + "errorType": "status_code", + "url": "https://mastodon.cloud/@{}", + "urlMain": "https://mastodon.cloud/", + "username_claimed": "TheAdmin" + }, "mastodon.social": { "errorType": "status_code", "url": "https://mastodon.social/@{}",
