Learn how blockchains, cryptocurrency, coin offerings, and smart contracts (including NFTs) work. Sam will also cover the underlying cryptography: hashes, symmetric encryption, and asymmetric encryption. You will configure wallets, servers, and vulnerable smart contracts, and exploit them. You will configure systems using Bitcoin, Ethereum, Hyperledger, Multichain, Stellar, and more. You will perform exploits including double-spend, reentrancy, integer underflow, and logic flaws. This workshop is structured as a CTF, so each participant can proceed at their own pace. The techniques will be briefly demonstrated, and tips will be provided along with help as needed to make sure everyone is able to solve at least some of the challenges. No previous experience with coding or blockchains is required.
