Select "Maltego CE (free)", then once you created a MaltegoCE account, you can get started in your first investigation. Click on "new". You will see a whiteboard. In the left column, you can drag, and drop a starting point. For instance,

  1. Search "domain"
  2. Drag and drop it on the whiteboard
  3. Double-click on it to edit it, enter a domain name, then press "ok"
  4. Right-click on it, and now, you can search for something related to this domain name (ex: email addresses...). If you want to try to look for "everything", then run all transforms

Wait, and investigate what maltego found for you!
