Presented at Disobey 2023, Feb. 18, 2023, 2:15 p.m. (180 minutes).

Smart contracts are programs that run on blockchain platforms and are at the core of many Web3 applications. However, like any other code, smart contracts can have vulnerabilities that can introduce technical challenges and risks. In this workshop, we will cover the basics of smart contracts and the participants will learn how to identify and exploit common vulnerabilities in solidity smart contracts through hands-on exercises. This workshop is suitable for those who are already in information security and looking to transition to smart contract/blockchain security, or those who want to add this skillset to their existing toolkit. Pre-requisites:A laptop with decent RAM and a virtualization software (Virtualbox/VMware)Pre-installed Ziion OS (https://www.ziion.org/download)Basic understanding of any programming languageBasic understanding of using Blockchain Wallets
