Maltego is a link analysis software[1] used for open-source intelligence, forensics and other investigations, originally developed by Paterva[2] from Pretoria, South Africa. Maltego offers real-time data mining and information gathering, as well as the representation of this information on a node-based graph, making patterns and multiple order connections between said information easily identifiable.[3] In 2019, the team of Maltego Technologies headquartered in Munich, Germany took over responsibility for all global customer-facing operations, and in 2023 complete technology development and management.[4]
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 (Social Networks, OSINT APIs, Self-hosted Private Data and Computer Networks Nodes) between people, groups, Webpages, domains, networks, internet infrastructure, and social media affiliations. Maltego extends its data reach with integrations from various data partners.[5] Among its data sources are DNS records, whois records, search engines, social networking services, various APIs and various meta data.[6]
