Maltego, the world’s most widely used platform for OSINT and investigations, is proud to welcome Hunchly into its ecosystem. Hunchly is a trusted tool for capturing and preserving online evidence. Together, Maltego and Hunchly provide investigators with a more complete workflow, pairing in-browser evidence collection with deeper data analysis and insights powered by industry-leading APIs.
This partnership delivers a seamless investigation experience for professionals who need to move faster, go deeper, and uncover the truth with confidence.
Since 2008, Maltego has supported high-profile, high-stakes investigations around the world, establishing itself as the go-to platform for investigative teams. More recently, Maltego has brought its proven capabilities to the browser, focusing on easier access to data and helping investigators of all experience levels work more efficiently.
Earlier in 2024, Maltego expanded further by acquiring PublicSonar and Social Network Harvester, now known as Maltego Monitor and Maltego Evidence. These additions brought new capabilities for social media monitoring and deep social network analysis, pushing Maltego closer to its goal of delivering a complete, end-to-end investigative platform.
With the addition of Hunchly, Maltego continues to strengthen its commitment to building powerful, integrated solutions that support investigators from the first click to the final report.
Maltego x Hunchly 🔗︎
Maltego and Hunchly have long shared a mission: to empower investigators with tools that enhance efficiency and effectiveness. Maltego helps users connect and enrich diverse data sources to generate meaningful intelligence. Hunchly complements this by automatically capturing and preserving online evidence—every URL, timestamp, and cryptographic hash—ensuring investigations are well-documented and legally defensible.

Investigators can move from collection to analysis to reporting without losing context or breaking their workflow.
This integration means stronger evidence, faster insights, and more confidence in the results. Whether you’re building a case or tracking digital threats, the combined use of Maltego and Hunchly helps you uncover the truth and facilitates informed action.
