Maltego

The software provides a graphical environment for open‑source intelligence (OSINT) and link analysis, allowing users to visualize relationships among entities such as people, domains, and documents. It includes a core graph interface for building and exploring networks, and integrates data sources that can be accessed through built‑in searches or custom API connections. Features such as web capture of digital evidence and real‑time social‑media monitoring are available in higher‑tier plans, while a free community edition offers basic graph capabilities.

It is aimed at investigators, analysts, and OSINT enthusiasts who need to transform raw data into interactive visual maps quickly. The platform supports individuals, small teams, and larger organizations, with pricing tiers that scale credits and access to commercial data sets. Training resources and support are provided through an academy and a support team that operate daily.

Distinctive aspects include a unified graph‑based workflow that consolidates multiple data sources, a credit system that governs data usage, and optional modules for evidence preservation and continuous monitoring. The product runs on macOS and is positioned as a stable, production‑ready solution for digital investigations.
