Helping people succeed in web3sec post series #3: Where to start?

After you have gone through the resources and applied the learning approach I shared in previous posts, it is time to do some actual work.

You wont feel ready and it is completely understandable. You will never feel ready. In order to be good at something, you need to do it as many times as possible. Same applies to auditing.

In the web3 security space, we are fortunate to be able to do meaningful work, gain valuable experience, and even get paid in the process. Contests are a great place to start your journey, showcase your skills, provide value to protocols, and grow as an auditor.

https://t.co/q4f48EcPb3 aggregates all running and upcoming contest from major platforms. If you are going to do your first audit, I recommend choosing a smaller codebase with fewer than 1000 sloc to avoid feeling overwhelmed. My favorite platform is @sherlockdefi, as it has consistent, well-structured judging rules and a community judging phase that helps you quickly identify issues you may have missed. The team behind the platform and the community there is great and you can find a lot of support in your first steps. But feel free to start wherever you want, as long as there is a suitable contest running.

PLEASE, READ THE JUDGING RULES OF THE PLATFORM BEFORE DOING A CONTEST.

Understanding the rules can make the difference between submitting a valid or invalid report.

I am also sharing few not so technical resources which have helped me start my journey and I believe they can help you as well:

@andyfeili yt channel: https://t.co/SsSUIXZFta

@RealJohnnyTime yt channel also has some great non-technical videos/podcasts which can be helpful

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

A hero and a coward are meeting in the Oval Office today.

And when the meeting is over, the hero will return home to Ukraine.

🚨 Атака срещу Илиан Илиев? Защо?

✅ Би Левски с 9 🇧🇬 играчи и 4 юноши
✅ Без бюджет, но с тактика победи "топ" селекция
✅ Първият 🇧🇬 селекционер, който не мълчи на БФС

Оставка #БПФЛ #БФС !

Пълна подкрепа за Илиан! 💪⚽ #ИлианИлиев #НационаленОтбор

Listen to the Finnish president—this is what a real leader sounds like, unlike the nonsense Trump says.

NATO’s 75th … a Foreign Ministers’ meeting … and what needs to happen next

[Dimitar Balev @DimitarBalev]

Няма изненада - правителство трябва да има!

Да смениш Тодор Тагарев с Христо Гаджев е все едно да извадиш Димитър Бербатов в 20тата минута на финал на Шампионска Лига и да пуснеш Гонзо. Просто не го правиш!

@vdremdjiev Ще идва ли Тодор Тагарев в студиото?
