STEALTH

Bitcoin Wallet Privacy Analyzer

A privacy audit tool that surfaces vulnerabilities at the UTXO level.

---

The Problem

Bitcoin privacy is fragile

• Chain analysis firms track wallets
• Common heuristics link addresses
• Users rarely know their exposure
• One bad UTXO can taint the rest

Today's tools

• Complex, require expertise
• No UTXO-level visibility
• Hard to understand risk before spending

---

What Stealth Does

Input

• Paste wallet descriptor
• Supports wpkh, pkh, sh(wpkh), tr, multisig

Output

• Every UTXO listed
• Privacy flaws per UTXO
• Severity badges (high / medium / low)

# One click
wpkh([xpub...]/0/*) → Analyze

→ Full report with actionable insights

Vulnerabilities Detected

Vulnerability	What it means
Address Reuse	Same address received >1 payment — links tx history, exposes balance
Dust Spend	UTXO from dust attack — when spent, links previously unconnected addresses
UTXO Consolidation	Multiple inputs merged — strong signal all belong to same wallet
CIOH	Common Input Ownership Heuristic — chain analysis firms use this to cluster addresses

---

How It Works

1. Parse

• Extract addresses from descriptor
• Support all common formats

2. Fetch

• On-chain history per address
• Uses Bitcoin node / API

3. Analyze

• Apply privacy heuristics
• Flag each UTXO with findings

Architecture

stealth/
├── frontend/   # React + Vite — input, loading, report
└── backend/    # Java/Quarkus — descriptor parsing, chain data, analysis

• Read-only — no keys, no storage, no transmission of descriptors
• Self-hostable — point at your own node for max privacy

---

Demo Flow

1. Input screen — paste descriptor, click Analyze
2. Loading — fetches and analyzes
3. Report — summary bar (total / vulnerable / clean) + UTXO cards
4. Each card: address, amount, badges, expandable details

---

Why It Matters

• Users — understand exposure before consolidating or spending
• Wallets — integrate as pre-spend check
• Researchers — study privacy heuristics at scale
• Privacy-first — no cloud, no logs, no tracking
