  Geophysical modeling was used to identify subsurface structures that correspond to data from measurements. Although freeware inversion algorithms are not commonly used in the geophysical community, several open-source modeling and inversion algorithms have been developed in recent years. This study assesses the applicability of an open-source inversion software on a real earth model. A synthetic model based on a homogeneous layer was used to create a buried target with contrast resistivity. A real data survey was conducted using the same input criteria. The dipole-dipole array of 42 electrodes, with 1 m spacing for profile and 1 m spacing electrodes was used for the subsurface resistivity probe. The analysis showed a positive correlation between the synthetic and the real earth model. The flexibility of the source code has made the results more realistic. This study can also show how ..
