Maltego

Summary

Maltego is a powerful data mining tool, with the mastermind function to automate the information gathering from target systems. According to the gathered information, a directed graph is created to analyze the relationship between these data elements.

Maltego is not an open source tool. It is already pre-installed in Kali. However, you need to sign in to select the edition you want to use. If you want personal use, the Community Edition will do (you just need to register for one account). However, if you want to use them for commercial purposes, you need the subscription to the classic or XL version.

Requirements

• Operating system: Kali GNU/Linux Rolling 5.10.0-kali3-amd64
• Virtualization technology: VMware® Workstation 15 Pro 15.5.5 build-16285975

In order to complete these steps, you must have followed Some Other Documentation before.

Example

For example, we only have just the domain information of the target system. And we would like to know more about this system, such as the mailserver, webserver, network adresses and ip adresses.

Let's use fh-campuswien.ac.at as our example domain:

Step 1

Drag and drop the domain icon into the graph and enter fh-campuswien.ac.at:

Domain: fh-campuswien.ac.at

Step 2
