Exploring Maltego – Phrase searching with Maltego CE
| April 11th, 2009- Exploring Maltego – Phrase searching with Maltego CE
Ok, so this “morning”, when I finally rolled out of bed, I started playing with Matlego CE again, to see what I could learn today.
As always, I tend to search for things that I know will give me results, such as my one “nickname/handle” or my personal or professional email addresses, websites, etc…
Today I wanted to test out the phrase entity in Maltego. So, I did what any geek would do, I searched for dc0de. (My nick/handle.)
After I filtered out the other people using my same nick/handle, I came up with this diagram:
The upper left of the image shows the documents that reference the phrase, some of them are mine, some are other people’s who referenced me in their presentations. There’s also an email reference from Mr. Feinstein’s presentation at Defcon. (Thanks Ben!)
The lower left, shows the websites (with icon of a server) that have links, accounts, users, or other references to the phrase.
And the purple “germ” icon, shows the tweets from twitter that reference the phrase.
It’s pretty amazing, and I’ve found that I’d forgotten about a few sites, didn’t know about some others… and also got to see where other people had been talking about me on IRC, much to my amusement. (Dagmar… funny stuff from 2008).
For my next trick, I’m going to redo the same phrase, then do a search on one of my email addresses, to see how well it cross correlates the information.
