@muzzug How did you get a godot bot beside your name, good friend?

johegl,

@muzzug @beanjbunny Idk if either of you is still curious about this, but I was XD So here's what I found: Every instance can define it's own custom emojis and those you can use then. @sciencebase wrote about it quite nicely and concise at https://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/how-to-add-an-emoji-to-your-mastodon-username.html . And he mentions a way to find out which emojis you can use on your instance, e.g.: https://emojos.in/nerdculture.de . Pretty cool imo.

What is the story behind your username that you use here on the and possibly other places?

Most everyone has a story behind the username(s) that they use, and others often want to know what it is.

whatsmyname, to OSINT

Why should use WhatsMyName data for username enumeration? There are many other sites that "do" username enumeration but most don't do what we do.

When @webbreacher created WMN in 2015, username checker sites at that time were providing many false positive results. All they did was send a request to a target website and, if the site didn't give them an error code in response, then the username must exist on that site. Right?

Absolutely not. Web server responses vary so our tools must as well. WMN has a list of responses that it expects to receive from the target web server. If it gets one response, then the user account is likely there. If it gets another response, it is likely the user account does not exist. We do NOT just look at the HTTP response code from the server.

These extra steps mean that checking tools like https://whatsmyname.app and others (https://github.com/WebBreacher/WhatsMyName#toolsweb-sites-using-whatsmyname) can be more accurate than other checkers.

If I am writing a post and I add in someone’s Mastodon like:

@ someone @ somewhere

Would they get something like a ping that they were mentioned in a post?

Like if I had a photo of a really weird bug, I could post publicly and inform someone I know?

Just wondering:

  1. How this works technically
  2. How this works -wise (common sense would be not to abuse or spam this unless you want to get muted or blocked)
