GHunt — Google Account OSINT GuideGHunt guide: audit what your own Google account leaks publicly — profile, Maps, Photos — and clean it all up. Educational lab-only tutorial. 2026 update.FAQ

What is GHunt?

GHunt extracts public information tied to a Google account from an email address: profile name and photo, Maps reviews, Photos activity, YouTube channel and more. It shows how much of you Google already makes public.

Is GHunt illegal?

It reads public Google endpoints. Still, run it only on your own accounts or permitted targets — digging through a stranger's Maps history and photos to stalk them is illegal.

How do I check my own account?

Install GHunt, authenticate with your own cookies (its docs explain the lab-safe flow), then hunt your own Gmail. The Maps and Photos sections surprise almost everyone.

What can it find from just an email?

Display name, profile photo, account creation hints, public Maps reviews with locations, public Photos and YouTube activity — the mosaic that turns one address into a life story.

Why do I need my own cookies?

Google requires authentication for these endpoints, so GHunt borrows your logged-in session. Never paste anyone else's cookies — that is session hijacking, a crime, not research.

How accurate is it?

It reports what Google returns, which is authoritative for public data. Private items never appear — absence from GHunt does not mean absence from Google, only absence from public view.

How is this different from Sherlock and Holehe?

Sherlock maps usernames to profiles, Holehe maps emails to registrations. GHunt goes deep on one Google account: profile, location history, media. Three lenses, one self-audit.

How do I clean my Google footprint?

Set the profile minimal, delete or privatize Maps reviews near home, audit shared Photos albums, and review YouTube public activity. Then re-hunt yourself monthly to confirm.
