DATA PASS
Maltego Search is a tool designed for conducting OSINT investigations on the go. It enables users to quickly search for information on suspects and threat actors, drawing from vast data sources, including social media, the dark web, identity databases, and breach data. Maltego Search operates with Maltego Data Pass, and each query consumes Credits.
Maltego Data Pass is a selection of relevant data providers gathered together in a single item. It is available in Maltego One (Maltego Search and Graph Browser), and Maltego Graph (Desktop) as part of all Maltego plans, providing access to various data sources out-of-the-box. The Maltego Data Pass works with a credit system, Maltego Credits, and each query made with Maltego One products consumes credits from your quota.

Investigate with Maltego Search
To start using Maltego Search, simply add your starting piece of information to the Search widget on the home page, select the type of information you want to search (e.g. email address, phone number, name, etc.), and click 'Search'.
As you can see on the images above, Maltego Search works with six types of information starters: e-mail addresses, aliases or usernames, phone numbers, names, passwords, and domains.
Maltego Search will then bring you back results related to your input in a table format. You can explore Search's analytical features to explore your results, or you can even deepen your investigation by running new queries on information that has been retrieved from your previous search.

Investigate with Maltego Graph (Browser)
Maltego Graph (Browser) is a graphical link analysis tool. It works by adding input information, querying our data sources*, and receiving output data which you can use to gain insights into your person of interest.
*All data sources powering Maltego Graph (Browser) are included in the Maltego Data Pass. For more information about the Maltego Data Pass, please check our resources on Maltego Data.
Step 1: add your input information
Individual data points on your graph are called Entities. Entities can represent any kind of information you want to investigate: email addresses, usernames, phone numbers, IP addresses, and many more.
Start your investigations by adding an Entity to your graph, and changing its value to match the piece of information you want to investigate.
Step 2: run a Transform
A Transform is the piece of code that will query your starting piece of information against our data sources. By running a Transform, you are searching for information about your input Entity, and Maltego will search through the data sources and return related information back to your graph.
There are many types of Transforms available through the Maltego Data Pass. Select the Transforms that match the information that you need, adjust the number of results you want to receive on your graph, and click 'Run'*.
*Each Transform run in Maltego Graph (Browser) consumes Maltego Credits. For more information on how many Credits each Transform run costs, please consult the table on our Maltego Data Pass and Credits guide.
Depending on the type of data you are querying, some Transforms may take some minutes to give you back results.
Step 3: analyze results
Once the Transform has finished running, if there is any matching information found through the query, it will be displayed on your graph in a format you can easily analyze.
Use Maltego Graph (Browser)'s analytical features, such as filters, selection, bookmarks, and different visualization options to quickly navigate through your results and gain meaningful insights.
Step 4: do it again!
Pivot from key data points and run additional Transforms to uncover more hidden connections between different pieces of information!
