Maltego

What it is

Maltego is a commercial OSINT and cyber investigations platform centred on Maltego Graph for visual link analysis. Investigators pivot across entities such as domains, people, emails and infrastructure using Transforms and built-in or partner data. The free Basic plan includes Maltego Graph Community Edition with limited monthly credits; paid plans expand data access, credits and products such as Maltego Search and Monitor.

What it helps with

- Mapping relationships between digital identities, infrastructure and organisations on interactive graphs.
- Running Transforms against OSINT and commercial data sources from one desktop or browser workflow.
- Starting person-of-interest or domain investigations with Maltego Search where licensed.
- Collaborating on shared graphs and exporting findings for reports.
- Exploring the platform for free with Community Edition before committing to paid seats.
- Supporting law-enforcement, corporate security and intelligence use cases within licence terms.

Who it's for

Investigators, threat intelligence analysts and red or blue teamers who need visual OSINT link analysis, as a peer to internet scanners like Shodan or Censys rather than a replacement for them.
