Recently, A Tool Called Antinalysis Has Been Released, Which Allows Criminals To Investigate The Risk Of Cashing In Stolen Digital Currencies.

The analysis is a new Dark Web tool for analyzing the Chinese blockchain with a criminal approach that examines the safety of exchanging stolen bitcoins in exchange offices for criminals. Still, Tom Robinson, the founder of Elliptic, believes that the analysis provided by this tool is useless.

According to the script, Tom Robinson’s research suggests that a DarkNet executive probably created Antinalysis to help launder bitcoin.

The function of this tool is that by connecting a wallet ( digital wallet ) to it, it examines the main route of receiving bitcoins and determines the risk of keeping it.

Stolen or stolen bitcoins from the Darknet and ransomware markets are considered high-risk assets; While bitcoins from exchange transactions and newly extracted coins are in the category of risk-free assets.

Elliptic is providing tools to money changers to investigate illegal activities, and now, according to Robinson, the new woodpecker tool is trying to alert criminals to the possibility of banning their assets at money changers.

Anti-Analysis runs on the Tor Browser to access Darkoob, and it costs about $ 3 per report.

The British research company conducted a study, weakening the ability of anti-analysis to detect links to woodpecker markets and said:

… This was not so far-fetched; Because providing comprehensive and accurate blockchain analysis requires significant investment in technology and data collection over long periods of time.

Security analyst Brian Krebs examined analysis to see how it worked similarly to AMLBot. AMLBot is software for detecting money laundering, and Tom Robinson assumes that Analysis is based on the software programming interface of this software.

Robinson introduced the creator of Anti-Analysis, one of the developers of the Darkoob drug market, Market Incognito.

 This market was launched in late 2020 (autumn 1399), and payments are made only through Bitcoin and Monroe.

According to Robinson, the supply of anti-analytics indicates the difficulty of converting stolen bitcoins into cash in exchanges. Still, for the first time, its creation has demonstrated to the public the criminal approach to analyzing the Chinese bloc.

Using anti-analysis and paying $ 3 may be a small cost for criminals, But identifying money laundering during this process will definitely be unpleasant.
