Privacy Scanners

Privacy scanners analyze your Bitcoin addresses and transactions to identify privacy weaknesses and provide actionable recommendations.

am-i.exposed

The most comprehensive Bitcoin privacy scanner available.

  • 31 privacy heuristics
  • 14 chain analysis modules
  • Entity matching against 364+ known services
  • Boltzmann entropy computation
  • Privacy score 0-100 with letter grades
  • Interactive visualizations (Sankey diagrams, heatmaps, graph explorer)
  • Client-side analysis (no server sees your query and results together)
  • Tor-aware
  1. Go to am-i.exposed
  2. Paste a Bitcoin address or transaction ID
  3. Review your privacy score and findings
  4. Follow the recommendations

For maximum privacy, self-host am-i.exposed with Docker. This eliminates all third-party API exposure.

git clone https://github.com/Copexit/am-i-exposed
cd am-i-exposed
docker compose up -d --build

Other Tools

Was the gold standard for Boltzmann entropy analysis. Created by LaurentMT as part of OXT Research. Shut down following the arrest of Samourai Wallet developers.

"Know Your Coin Privacy" - Focused on CoinJoin analysis and post-mix privacy assessment. Also shut down after the Samourai arrests.

Best Practices

  • Use Tor

    When scanning your own addresses, use Tor to hide your IP.

  • Wait Before Querying

    Do not look up recent transactions immediately. Wait to avoid timing correlation.

  • Self-Host If Possible

    Self-hosting eliminates all third-party API exposure.

  • Act on Recommendations

    Do not just check and ignore. Follow the recommendations to improve your privacy.

  • Re-Scan After Fixes

    After applying privacy improvements, re-scan to verify the improvement.
