⚠️ All code associated with this course is for demo purposes only. They have been audited, but we do not recommend them for production use and should be used at your own risk.

Resources For This Course

Join Cyfrin Updraft for the best learning experience!

  • AI Frens
  • Github Discussions
    • Ask questions and chat about the course here!
  • Stack Exchange Ethereum
    • Great place for asking technical questions about Ethereum
  • Peeranha
    • Decentralized Stack Exchange!

Exploit Resources

Challenge Contracts Registry

Prerequisites

An intermediate understanding of solidity. You don't need to be a pro, but you should be familiar with:

  • Blockchain basics (transactions, blocks, decentralization, etc)
  • Running a smart contract test suite (hardhat, foundry, truffle, etc)
  • Solidity basics (variables, functions, structs, etc)

Here are some resources to get you up to speed with the prerequisites:

  • Full Foundry Course: This will give you every single prerequisite
  • Speed Run Ethereum: This will give you most of what you need. But you’ll need a little extra time on invariant tests, using foundry, and DeFi/OnChain Finance.

Prerequisite tools

Outcome

  • Have the foundational skills to become a professional smart contract auditor
  • Speak, interact, and contribute to the web3 security community
  • Compete in web3 competitive audits
  • Compete in web3 bug bounties
  • Start a career as an independent auditor
  • Become a top 1% smart contract developer

Bonus NFTs

Important Notes for Arbitrum

IF YOU DECIDE TO MINT THE REAL NFT:

  1. We didn't audit/security review the NFT, so if you want to make sure you'll be safe, interact with the contract using a burner wallet (a wallet with very little money that you don't use for anything else)
    1. In fact... Get good at interacting with wallets from a burner wallet
  2. Read my Tweet thread on basic wallet safety
  3. It might be a good idea to wait till later in the course when we teach you about verifying metamask transactions.
  4. Feel free to mint NFTs on sepolia without worrying about the above

Bridging to Arbitrum

  1. We didn't show you how to bring ETH -> Arbitrum, but the process would be:
    1. Buy ETH (On an exchange like Coinbase or Kraken)
  2. Send ETH -> one of your wallets like:
    1. Safe (Multi-Sig)
    2. Metamask
    3. Frame
    4. Rainbow
    5. Argent
    6. Coinbase Wallet
  3. Use the Arbitrum Bridge

Why Web3 Security?

Why Web3 is so important

  • Rebuild trust in the ecosystem.

  • Wild West image to the outsiders

  • Pick a class

The Final Boss Codebase, you'll be able to audit this at the end of this course

Best Practices for this course

  • Register for Cyfrin Updraft
    • USE THIS SITE!!! It's specfically made to make learning easier
  • Follow the repository: While going through the course be 100% certain to follow along with the github repository. If you run into in an issue check the chronological-updates in the repo.
  • Be Active in the community: Ask questions and engage with other developers going through the course in the discussions tab, be sure to go and say hello or gm! This space is different from the other industries, you don't have to be secretive; communicate, network and learn with others :)
  • Learn at your own pace: It doesn't matter if it takes you a day, a week, a month or even a year. Progress >>> Perfection
  • Take Breaks: You will exhaust your mind and recall less if you go all out and watch the entire course in one sitting. Suggested Strategy every 25 minutes take a 5 min break, and every 2 hours take a longer 30 min break
  • Refer to Documentation: Things are constantly being updated, so whenever Patrick opens up some documentation, open it your end and maybe even have the code sample next to you.
  • Use ChatGPT and/or the course chat

And finally, by embarking on this journey, you are now a "Security Researcher", not an "Auditor". The key word being "Researcher", so we will go over strategies for continued learning so you can stay on top of your game.

🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

🎯 Exercise: Write yourself a message about why you want this

  • This will be important for when things get hard
  • Is it money? Save web3? Become someone? Write down as many reasons as possible.

Important Note: We are now going to do audits. Please note, that we will not find all the bugs in each codebase. Each codebase was designed to show you a specific set of bugs, and give you a good understanding of what an audit "feels" like.
