Maltego : Open source Intelligence and Forensics Application

1. In this post I am giving a stepped screen shot for installing and using the application MALTEGO that comes inbuilt to Kali Linux.Maltego, is an open source intelligence and forensics application. It allows for the mining and gathering of information as well as the representation of information in a meaningful way. Coupled with its graphing libraries, Maltego, allows to identify key relationships between information and identify previously unknown relationships between them. It is a must-have tool in the forensics.security and intelligence fields.

2. Maltego permits creating custom entities, allowing it to represent any type of information in addition to the basic entity types which are part of the software. The basic focus of the application is analyzing real-world relationships between people, groups, websites, domains, networks, internet infrastructure, and affiliations with online services such as Twitter and Facebook.
