Graph Platform

Interactive visual intelligence explorer for dark web investigations

The Hades Graph Platform is a browser-based investigation tool that lets you visually explore the relationships between dark web servers, entities, and infrastructure. Where the Maltego transforms build graphs inside Maltego and the MCP server enables conversational queries through Claude, the Graph Platform is a standalone web application purpose-built for open-ended network exploration — no desktop software or API client required.

What It Does

The Graph Platform connects directly to the Hades database and presents it as an interactive mind-map graph. You search for a server or entity, add it to the canvas, then expand it to reveal its connections — cryptocurrency addresses, email accounts, shared infrastructure, co-hosted servers, and more. Each expansion reveals new nodes which can themselves be expanded, allowing you to follow chains of evidence deep into a network without losing context.

Investigations are saved to your account and persist between sessions. You can name them, load previous work, and export the canvas as an image or PDF for reporting.

Accessing the Platform

The Graph Platform is available at:

Sessions persist via a secure httpOnly cookie. You will remain logged in until you explicitly log out using the button in the toolbar.

Core Concepts

The Graph Canvas

The main workspace is an infinite canvas where investigations take shape. Each piece of intelligence — a server, a Bitcoin address, an email account — is represented as a node. Relationships between nodes are drawn as labeled edges.

Nodes are color-coded by type so you can immediately distinguish infrastructure from entities at a glance. The layout is automatic: new nodes fan out radially from the node they were discovered through, forming a mind-map structure that reflects your investigative path.

Exploration Trees

Every investigation starts with a search result — a root node at the center of the canvas. When you expand a node, its connections are added as children fanning out around it. Those children become expandable in turn. This tree structure tracks how you found each node, preserving the logic of the investigation as the graph grows.

Saved Investigations

All graph state — nodes, edges, layout, collapsed branches — is saved to your account. Investigations are named and can be loaded, continued, or exported at any time. The platform auto-saves your work every 30 seconds when changes are present.
