About Maltego CE
Maltego CE is a visual link analysis tool that enables comprehensive OSINT investigations by mapping relationships between entities like people, companies, domains, and infrastructure. Developed in Java, it provides a graphical interface to visualize complex data sets using transforms and link analysis. Maltego's ability to reveal hidden connections and patterns makes it indispensable for analysts and investigators conducting in-depth research and threat intelligence operations.
About OnionScan
OnionScan is a tool for investigating dark web hidden services (.onion sites) for operational security weaknesses. It identifies information leaks that could deanonymize hidden service operators, including exposed server status pages, analytics tracking codes, EXIF metadata in images, SSH fingerprints, email addresses, Bitcoin addresses, leaked IP addresses in headers, and linked clearnet infrastructure. OnionScan correlates findings across multiple hidden services to identify common operators. It is used by researchers and law enforcement to investigate dark web infrastructure and by operators to audit their own hidden services for OPSEC failures.
