Open Source Intelligence With Maltego
Paterva | August 4-5 & August 6-7
Overview
Maltego is a common household name in the infosec community, but using it to its full potential can be a daunting task. This course will teach analysts how to use the tool to its fullest potential from different graphing methods, getting your data in to exploring the 100s of transforms that allow you to query OSINT information in the blink of an eye.
Prepare yourself to be amazed by what information is out there and how through some simple usage information can be correlated on 2nd, 3rd and more orders to provide valuable insight into the data!
The course will take you from the basics of mining information to challenges that you will need to solve by finding, correlating and graphing information by using the full toolspace of Maltego. Not only will we be exploring open sources of information but also how to visualise and derive intelligence from your own fixed structured data (think CSV/XLSX/etc).
This is a 2-day hands-on course packed with practical exercises using real world data, giving participants real world experience with the tool whilst being trained by the very people that developed the tool.
