The communications server adds collaborative capabilities to Maltego allowing users to interact while working as a team on a shared graph.


What does a Comms server do?

A Comms server allows multiple users to work interactively on a shared Maltego graph in real-time.

  • Users can interact over a built-in chat messenger as well as send links to selected portions of the graph.
  • Shared graphs are kept private with your session key that is used to encrypt the communication traffic with 128/256-bit AES.
  • Shared graph sessions are cross-platform meaning that the four different clients can all join the same shared graph.
