Aleph is a powerful platform for searching, browsing, and analyzing documents and data to uncover connections between people and companies.
Search and browse documents and data; find the people and companies you look for.
Aleph is primarily used by threat intelligence analysts and OSINT researchers to collect, search, and analyze large volumes of documents and data related to entities such as individuals and companies. It enables efficient threat hunting and investigative research by providing tools to explore complex data relationships and extract actionable intelligence.
Aleph requires proper configuration of environment variables and database setup before use. It is recommended to run Aleph in a controlled environment due to the potentially sensitive nature of the ingested data. Regular updates and database backups are advised to maintain data integrity.
