BISS: Maltego

It sounds like a dream for many OSINT specialists: Maltego can run a multitude of tools automatically, and it also visualises the process, hence maping what the algorithm is doing and how different entities, traces, people etc are connected. But once you have installed the programme, you feel lost, as if you were in the cockpit of an aeroplane with nothing but a driving licence. Leo Reitano is an investigator who uses Maltego for his cases and will teach you everything you need to know about this complex tool. For an overview of what can be done, day one is fine, if you want to use it yourself you will need day two on top.
