Public blockchains are open ledgers: every transaction of an address is visible to anyone. This playbook takes a Bitcoin or Ethereum address from a ransom note, a scam page or a donation link to its balance, history and counterparties.
Steps
Tools used (ot guide tools osintverse-community/crypto-address-tracing):
| Tool | Used for |
|---|---|
| osintverse-community/btc-address | Bitcoin balance, totals, recent transactions and counterparties |
| osintverse-community/eth-address | Ethereum balance, ENS name, contract details, recent transactions |
The examples use the Bitcoin genesis address and the original ENS registry contract, both public.
