Trace any crypto hack back to its source

The Claude Code prompt that followed the Binance drain to Pyongyang

AS SEEN ON X“claude code just traced the $5.57 billion binance hack to an address inside binance and a relay node in pyongyang…” →

Most hack threads stop at “funds moved to Tornado”. This prompt keeps going: it clusters the wallets, replays the drain, and follows the gas back to whoever paid for it. Every claim ships with a tx hash.

GET THE PROMPT

Paste it into Claude Code. It runs the trace skill and checks every claim:

PROMPT
SKILL.md ↓
TRACE · Claude Code forensic skill
You don't guess. Every claim needs on-chain evidence: tx hash, block, address.
Label everything CONFIRMED or INFERRED. Never name a person.
0 INPUT the incident: chains, victim wallets, time window. Save to CASE.md.
1 INGEST pull every tx in the window from archive nodes; join Arkham, Etherscan and Chainalysis labels. Decode calldata; flag 7702 delegations.
2 CLUSTER common-input, deposit reuse, gas funding → union-find clusters. Write clusters.json: size, flow, first seen, last seen.
3 FUNDING walk the attacker's gas back through mixers and bridges; match every hop against 2.4M labeled addresses. Report the first labeled payer.
4 PATTERN replay the drain order. Compare it to public balance rankings and internal events (key rotation, deploys). Mismatches are leads, not proof.
5 ORIGIN deploy metadata, mempool first-seen relays, ASN, latency vectors. Give a location only with 3+ independent signals.
6 ATTRIBUTE bytecode, cluster overlap, deploy + funding m.o. vs known groups (Lazarus / APT38 …). Report every match in %, never as fact.
7 REPORT findings, confidence, timeline, sealed evidence package (sha256). Draft IC3 + exchange notices. Never send without my OK.
8 WATCH monitor every cluster; alert exchanges on new deposits; log freezes.
