Smart contract hacking always makes headlines. Typical incidents can cost millions or even hundreds of millions in losses. And the problem doesn't seem to be going away. Recent independent scans show 34,200 vulnerable smart contracts lurking on the Ethereum blockchain. It's time to help these developers secure their code and foster a new generation of hardened SDLC practices. Ethereum has fantastic Turing-complete functions awaiting our use, and Solidity smart contracts are a crucial way that the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, Quorum, and other entities plan on moving to Web 3.0. Ethical hacking of all this new code is a necessary service and excellent way to cash in (ethically).
Join Konstantinos for a look at a Solidity hacking methodology that can be applied right away, including the latest open source tools.
