user4334: Are there any open source alternatives to Chainalysis Reactor for doing forensic analysis of a local copy of the full Bitcoin blockchain?

user13866: BlockSci might be relevant, though "As of November 2020", it "is no longer actively maintained".
Abstract of a paper by one of its devs:

Analysis of blockchain data is useful for both scientific research and commercial applications. We present BlockSci, an open-source software platform for blockchain analysis. BlockSci is versatile in its support for different blockchains and analysis tasks. It incorporates an in-memory, analytical (rather than transactional) database, making it orders of magnitudes faster than using general-purpose graph databases. We describe BlockSci's design and present four analyses that illustrate its capabilities, shedding light on the security, privacy, and economics of cryptocurrencies.


user-1: No I have not seen any open source projects similar to Chainalysis Reactor. Even explorers like OXT that are helpful in on-chain analysis are not open source.
It will be a great project if someone can create such open source tools because sometimes you need to break things to improve them. Ignoring tools used by companies like Chainalysis doesn't improve anything.
