Ethical Hacking – Using Maltego

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. On this post, I will show what I have done by using maltego.

1. Open maltegoce from Applications under Information Gathering.

2. The first thing you’ll encounter is that we have to choose the maltego type we want to use. Click on the Community Edition. Then we must login. Make an account first if you don’t have one by clicking on ‘register here’. It will open your browser to the website to register.

3. After logging in just click next until you encounter the Install Transforms section. Choose Run a machine.

4. There are several machines available for us to use. The main ones are Company Stalker(gathers email information), Footprint L1(basic information gathering), Footprint L2(moderate information gathering) and Footprint L3(intense and most complete information gathering). We’d like to gather as much information as possible, so we’ll choose Footprint L3.

5. Specify our target. In my case, I’ll try to target pentest.id for learning purposes.

Click Finish.

6. Wait for awhile. If the program asks about anything, just click on yes. We’ll get to see an entire map of pentest.id after that.

Zooming in, we’ll see this.

We can see its relationships to the websites.
