requirements.txt does not exist

Please indicate which targets are actually indicating a false positive. Or are you saying every single one in the screenshot is a F+?

In the directory, there is a file named requirements.txt. When I run the txt file, a message appears as shown in the second image. Yes, all the results in the first image are incorrect. When I use a different username, the program still produces the same result as in the first image.

You may be using an outdated copy of Sherlock as there is no file by that name in the upstream repository (the file was removed back in June). Installing from source is also no longer a supported method outside of use by contributors, who should install via pdm.


I'm surprised at how many false positives you're seeing --- what region are you in? Also, what username were you testing with? My first guess is that it's a regional issue, since most of those targets use error messages for validation. Sometimes these error messages change across regions and languages, in which case we'll have to do a bit of localization. Easy fix if so, we'll just need some data from --dump-response on each if this is the case.

So what should I do? Reinstall Sherlock or install it via pdm? Can you tell me how to install it using pdm? I’m a beginner and not familiar with this. I’m in the SEA region. And if this is a regional issue, how should I fix it? Thanks

So what should I do? I downloaded version 0.15.0. Should I reinstall Sherlock or install it via pdm? Can you tell me how to install it using pdm? I’m a beginner and not familiar with this. I’m in the SEA region. And if this is a regional issue, how should I fix it?
