Documentation

Maltego — Link Analysis & OSINT

Maltego is a graphical link analysis tool for OSINT investigations. It provides an interactive environment for mining and correlating information from various public data sources, presenting results as entity graphs that reveal relationships between domains, IP addresses, email addresses, people, and organizations.

Key Concepts

  • Entities: Represent pieces of data (domains, IPs, emails, people)
  • Transforms: Plugins that query data sources and return related entities
  • Graphs: Visual representation of entity relationships
  • Machines: Automated sequences of transforms for common investigations

Common Use Cases

  • Domain infrastructure mapping
  • Email address correlation
  • Social network footprinting
  • Company organizational charting
  • Person-of-interest profiling
