What tools are available to track a Bitcoin transaction?

How can one determine which wallet it was paid to - for instance, is it possible to get so close that you can see if the recipient has a Kraken, Binance, or CoinGate account where they receive them?
 
Most exchanges generate a deposit address for you, and transfer funds to their hot wallet‌ from that deposit wallet. You can track funds from deposit to hot wallet on blockchain‍ explorer, then use Arkham to see which exchange owns that hot wallet.

I run an test with this free tool, works well. My question⁠ is, if you don't have an address to go after it is impossible to find⁤ any wallet. Only if I enter my address I can see that for instant it⁣ is a kraken address or with another address it is indeed my cold wallet. So⁢ if I never give out my address to any person they won't be able to︀ proof it is my cold wallet? if they find such addresses say in an kraken︁ account together say with 60 or 80 other addresses they can't claim one of these︂ are mine if I don't tell them?

Am I wrong here?
 
In the︁ theory, yes they cannot prove it's your wallet, but I believe CEXs require to deposit︂ only from your wallet address in somewhere of their ToS. Even if they don't, probably︃ you are still responsible to explain SoF.

But Arkham is to track public wallet address,︄ not private individuals.
 
Yes, if you don't give out your⁢ newly created address, no one knows anything about it. Just make sure you take care︀ of your IP as most wallets most likely spy heavily on you.

basically there's no︁ way to prove a wallet belongs to xyz person even with forensics, its just a︂ probability game which in the end can come reasonably close and reach over 90% easily.︃ But at the end only xyz person can prove it by signing a message with︄ his private key. This will be an 100% ownership proof which I would accept.
 
keeping my cold wallet address far away from public, using exodus to receive payments and‌ transfer them from their to bitcoinmix and going to my cold wallet finally. That has‍ been working perfectly for me.
 
Probably one of the best solutions if you're willing‌ to get sucked in their sales funnel and pay atleast 20/30k p.a. for a basic‍ license.

They do provide on-demand training for their platform, which could benefit your OPSEC: Chainalysis Certification Programs | Chainalysis. I haven't tried them myself though, but still on my⁠ to-do list.
 
of course,‌ your name is always displayed on BTC transactions in the 'regarded' text box.
 
When you enter your addresses in tools such︂ as AMLBot you effectively give your address to be analyzed. It is a double edged︃ sword. On one end you want to make sure you don't hold high AML risk︄ coins but on the other particularly with "free" tools you are submitting your address and︅ all addresses it has interacted with ever to be analyzed. I have seen happen you︆ can have a wallet with relatively low AML risk and after it is tumbled through︇ their analytics database to come up with high risk days later. In that regard I'd︈ definitely be wary of services where you check your address if you want to keep︉ it private.

If you are︌ using a CEX like Kraken then it is reasonable to assume only you know the︍ deposit addresses of your account. Meaning you either had sent from your own addresses (SoF)︎ or it was a business transaction or donation etc. If one of the sending addresses️ are yours it really is a matter of whether you didn't connect any previous transactions‌ ever to you be it business or network (including sending addresses through messengers etc.).
