Maltego is a unique platform developed to deliver a clear threat picture to the environment that an organization owns and operates. It is a powerful open source intelligence and forensics application. Maltego provides an environment to visually analyze relationships between data and entities. Its core functionality is to help investigators to determine the relationships and real-world links between people, companies, websites, domains, networks, internet infrastructure, and affiliated-data. Maltego works by allowing users to conduct open source intelligence (OSINT) and forensics investigations. It takes data from a variety of sources, such as websites, search engines, social networks, and other sources, to uncover and visualize relationships between the data. It utilizes a variety of techniques such as graph theory, machine learning, and natural language processing to analyze data from multiple sources and uncover hidden relationships. Maltego can also be used by security professionals to identify and monitor risks associated with online infrastructure, such as websites, domains, networks, and IP addresses. It can detect malicious behavior, such as malicious code, hacking attempts, and other malicious activities. Maltego is used by organizations, government agencies, and private investigators to gain a clear understanding of their environment and to identify potential threats. It helps them to understand their assets and identify potential vulnerabilities, enabling them to make better-informed decisions.
