At the expense of hacking is not sure. But if you leave your bitcoin address in your social network, then you will identify yourself.

There are no methods and you don't crack anything. Bitcoin transactions are linked with each other and thus aren't anonymous.
As long as you can link a Bitcoin address to an identity then you know where that person is sending or receiving money from by using a block explorer.
There aren't any sophisticated 'in practice' methods.

The chainanalysis companies are not going to give away their methods no way. It is an open secret that mixers no longer work.

cracking and identifying are totally different thing in the first place my friend,
if you're leaving your address in your social network or some places and people looking at it,
it can not be considered as cracking because all that we need to do is identify it.
until now i am not really sure to say it's a way to crack it because it's very unlikely,
but it has a possibility to crack it or to find a way to do it.
for your references go here and take a look about it :
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/22/is-it-possible-to-brute-force-bitcoin-address-creation-in-order-to-steal-money
also bitcoin transaction is not hidden,
so there're no anonimity behind it,so as long as you can find who is the address holder.
you can find him/her.

You are and naive I may add if you think they can't figure you out. For one quantum computing will allow hacking of 2FA which means your bitcoin security you can kiss that goodbye. For another you have a bitcoin address which doesn't have your name on it but if you leave that information exposed the authorities or hackers will certainly find you then too. Those are the only ways I know but I wouldn't sit here and think they got nothing on me.

Bitcoin was created to give users anonymity. Btc itself can’t be cracked as well as wallets and transactions. It would be hard to try and crack them.
