INVESTIGATIVE PRECISION
Core Forensic Capabilities
Our forensic suite delivers the technical depth and actionable intelligence required to secure your Lightning Network operations. We provide definitive answers, not just data points.
03
Anomaly & Attack Pattern Detection
Automated detection of known attack vectors (e.g., griefing, balance probing, fee sniping) and anomalous network behavior. Our models are trained on historical attack data from mainnet and testnet environments.
04
Node Operator Reputation Scoring
Assess the risk profile of counterparty nodes using a multi-factor reputation model. Evaluate uptime history, protocol compliance, fee behavior, and association with previously flagged activity.
05
Compliance & AML Traceability
Generate auditable proof-of-flow reports for regulatory compliance. Map pseudo-anonymous node keys to potential on-chain entities and wallet clusters, providing necessary visibility for financial oversight.
06
Custom Investigation Tooling
We build and deploy custom forensic scripts and dashboards tailored to your node implementation (LND, Core Lightning, Eclair) and specific risk parameters, integrating directly with your monitoring stack.
