The pseudo-anonymous nature of Bitcoin makes it possible to assign addresses to clusters, and in some cases to identify an entity to which the cluster belongs. Searching for these connections manually is a tedious and time-consuming activity. The increasing number of commercial tools supporting de-anonymization, due to the high cost, does not always mean their greater availability among law enforcement authorities. So there is a real need to create an open source and free solutions to support this process. This article presents the assumptions for the proposed solution, shows its implementation and principle of operation, and finally provides a script that automates queries to selected web services which enable the deanonymization of BTC addresses.KeywordsBitcoinDeanonymizationScript
