Then click on the IP address and to your left search for the local transform “TTNMAPPLUS“ and click on the play button, it’s going to take a minute or two depending upon your internet connection speed to pop up the results. it will show the open ports.
Now select all the ports, do a banner grabbing, and show the services associated with those ports using ” TTservicetoPort” and “TTServiceToBanner”.
We will do a quick vulnerability scanning using “TTquickVulnSearch” to see if maltego picks anything juicy.
