Features

• Concurrent module execution — all modules run in parallel, results stream as they arrive
• WebSocket streaming — partial results arrive in real time without polling
• REST API + web UI + CLI — use whatever interface fits your workflow
• Plugin module system — drop a .py file in backend/modules/ and it auto-registers; no wiring required
• 6 export formats: JSON, CSV, PDF, Markdown, STIX 2.1, Maltego XML
• Maltego local transform server — run investigations directly from the Maltego desktop app
• Webhook notifications — Slack, Discord, or any HTTP endpoint
• Exposure score (0–100) with risk label: low / medium / high / critical
• SQLite by default; PostgreSQL optional via Docker Compose profile
