What is Maltego CE?

Maltego CE is the community version of Maltego that is

available for free after a quick online registration. Maltego CE
includes most of the same functionality as the commercial
version however it has some limitations. The main limitation
with the community version is that the application cannot be
used for commercial purposes and there is also a limitation on
the maximum number of entities that can be returned from a
single transform. In the community version of Maltego there is
no graph export functionality that is available in the commercial
versions.

What does Maltego do?

The focus of Maltego is analyzing real-world relationships

between information that is publically accessible on the
Internet. This includes footprinting Internet infrastructure as
well as gathering information about the people and

organisation who own it.

Maltego can be used to determine the relationships between

the following entities:

People.
Names.

Email addresses.

Aliases.

Groups of people (social networks).

Companies.

Organizations.

Web sites.

Internet infrastructure such as:

Domains.

DNS names.

Netblocks.

IP addresses.

Affiliations.

Documents and files.

Connections between these pieces of information are found

using open source intelligence (OSINT) techniques by
querying sources such as DNS records, whois records, search
engines, social networks, various online APIs and extracting
meta data.

Maltego CE is easy and quick to install - it uses Java, so it

runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Hardware Requirements:
A Maltego CE client requires at least 2GB of RAM, but the
more the merrier as Maltego loves memory.

Any modern multi-core processor will have more than enough

processing power.

4GB of disk space should be more than enough.

Using a mouse makes navigating Maltego graphs much easier

and is definitely recommended.

Network Requirements:
A Maltego CE client requires Internet Access to operate fully.

The client will need to make outgoing connections on the

following ports: 80, 443, 8081. Additionally port 5222 is needed
to join shared graphs on Paterva's public Comms server.

Please note that a Maltego client may need to make

connections on additional ports if the client is using transform
from 3rd party transform vendors from the Transform Hub.
