Open Source Intelligence requires in-depth investigations capable of dealing with a complex universe of facts and events. Therefore a software that can piece together all these details as crucial importance to online investigators that are required to discover hidden scenarios and occult wrongdoings.

Maltego WhoisXML Transforms bring the WhoisXML API integration to Maltego. With these new Transforms you can lookup live and historical WHOIS records for domain names and IP addresses as well as conduct reverse WHOIS searches by looking for phrases or text within WHOIS records and more.
