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 and computer networks nodes) between people, groups, Webpages, domains, networks, internet infrastructure, and affiliations with online services such as Twitter and Facebook. Among its data sources are DNS records, whois records, search engines, online social networks, various APIs and various meta data.[4]
Maltego is commonly used by security researchers and private investigators.[5][6]
