What a fantastic weekend spent with OSINT, Project Hades, and CipherTrace!
We at Maltego are thrilled and honored to sponsor the Darkwebathon 2022 for the second time and see through the challenges over the weekend.
Hosted by the Anti-Human Trafficking Intelligence Initiative, the Darkwebathon is a 6-hour sprint with 3 challenges: Hash, Email Address, and Cryptocurrency. Using Project Hades as well as other OSINT Transforms in Maltego, participants identify and profile potential traffickers by generating thousands of leads and actionable intelligence. And guess what? These slavery-fighting insights are also visually stunning.
Data is beautiful and the participants of Darkwebathon 2022 have shown us how. Over the weekend, they peppered the #OSINT and #MadewithMaltego LinkedIn hashtags with cool Maltego graphs to showcase their investigative work.
Here are some of the gems.
