Alerts Bar

Modified on Wed, 4 Nov at 3:32 PM

Overview

The Alerts Bar Transforms surface infostealer-derived credentials and compromised device data harvested from the dark web. Investigators can search stealer logs by email address, phone number, or domain to uncover leaked credentials, then pivot from a stolen credential to its compromised host, or from a host to every other credential harvested from that device.

False

Show Full Password

  • Off (default): the transform returns a maltego.AlertsBar.ObscuredPassword entity showing only the last three characters (e.g. hunter2 → ****er2).

  • On: the transform returns a maltego.Password entity containing the full plaintext password instead of the obscured one.

  • The full password is only available when the input Stolen Credential carries a Full Password value. If it does not, the transform falls back to the Obscured Password entity even when the setting is on.

  • Only one password entity is returned per run: either the obscured or the full one, never both.

  • The setting applies to this transform only; the Alerts Bar API key is not required to change it.

Entities

Entity

Description

maltego.AlertsBar.StolenCredential (Stolen Credential)

A single leaked credential record recovered from a stealer log. May carry an email address, phone number, alias, IP address, compromised host, an obscured password and, where available, the full password as properties.

maltego.AlertsBar.CompromisedHost (Compromised Host)

A device identified as infected with credential-stealing malware.

maltego.AlertsBar.ObscuredPassword (Obscured Password)

A masked password value recovered from a stealer log. Only the last three characters are shown (e.g. hunter2 → ****er2). Returned by Expand Stolen Credential by default.

maltego.Password (Password)

The full plaintext password recovered from a stealer log. Returned by Expand Stolen Credential in place of the Obscured Password only when the Show Full Password setting is enabled.


Example workflow

  1. Start with a known Email Address.

  2. Run Search in Stealer Logs → returns one or more Stolen Credential entities.

  3. Run Expand Stolen Credential on a result → reveals the associated Compromised Host, plus phone, alias, IP, and password artifacts. Enable Show Full Password in the transform settings first if you need the plaintext password rather than the obscured one.

  4. Run Get Stolen Credentials on the Compromised Host → surfaces every other credential stolen from that same device.

Connector on Desktop setup (BYOK)

  1. Sign up for an account at Alerts Bar and generate an API key.

  2. In Maltego Graph (Desktop), open Transform Hub and locate the Alerts Bar entry.

The Browser and Data Pass delivery methods require no setup and use the same backing transform server as the Connector; the Connector is billed against your own Alerts Bar account instead of Maltego-managed credits.
