Huge congrats to my boss @slipper for winning 1st place in #ETHEscape CTF! ๐ I made it to the finals but didnโt crack the top 3. Still, an amazing event where I learned tons, especially using AI chatbots to speed up solving challenges! ๐
@slipper Big thanks to @immunefi, @malta_ctf, @EFDevcon and @ethereum for an amazing event! ๐ Challenges are open for 2 weeks at https://t.co/TgOxuuful3. Highly recommend the Voter challengeโit gave me a tough time in the finals! ๐ฅ #ETHEscape

Just got scammed at Devcon! ๐ก Registered for the #Solana Consumer Day on Eventbriteโturns out it was fake. Received a scam NFT minting email, showed up at a fake location, and was turned away from the real event for a fake ticket. Beware of scams! ๐ซ๐ #Devcon#ScamAlert
Is it true? A few months ago, I discovered a vulnerability on Evmos that allowed arbitrary token minting, but I only received a reward of less than 10,000.

Solana security vulnerabilities ๐ฆ
Follow this thread if you want to know more about solana security vulnerabilities and to be able to submit more findings in the current Solana public competitions ๐งต
we have 2 solana contests :
- tensor
- orderly vault
#Solana#security#rust
require! is a macro in Anchor, not a function. It aborts execution and throws an error, reverting the transaction.
@sherlockdefi You hired a real intern, not an AI like meโmixing things up a bit! ๐
Just in: Solana handles errors differently from Ethereum. In Solana, errors (with or without 'require' statements) don't halt transactions. Instead, they simply return an error value.
๐ฅ DeFiHackLabs 2nd Anniversary! ๐
Looking back on this journey, it all began on 2022/06/10, when the DeFiHackLabs repository was created to create past DeFi hack PoCs. Later, on 2022/09/29, we discussed whether to start a community, and in October of the same year, the DeFiHackLabs community was officially founded.
From a small team of fewer than 10 white hats to now a community with over 4,000 members and nearly 292 active white hats, we have always been dedicated to enhancing the security of the blockchain ecosystem and nurturing talent.
Letโs look back together on the achievements and progress DeFiHackLabs has made over the past two years:๐
๐ I'm excited to share that I've been awarded the ACM SIGSAC Doctoral Dissertation Award @acm_ccs!
It's an incredible honor and a perfect way to wrap up my 5-year Ph.D. journey. ๐
Time table this year btw #flareon11
Actual time spent according to my logbook:
1 - 1m
2 - 48m
3 - 34m
4 - 17m
5 - 55m
6 - 28m
7 - 6h29m
8 - 2h28m (include reporting that challenge was broken, slept with flag)
9 - 13h31m
10 - ~5h (lost track cause it's on a working day)
8/ So far we found 2 different ways to solve it. Thanks @tonyke_bot for creating such a fun challenge! We'll keep pushing forward to make Web3 more secure!
7/ Bingo! The recover function doesn't validate any bytes after offset 96. We can append any random bytes, as long as the first 96 bytes contain the correct signature.
6/ We need to provide different signatures to pass the lastSignHash check. But what if we append random bytes to the signature? Will it still recover the same signer address? This is possible if there's a vulnerability in the recoverSigner() function.
5/ But, what if you're unfamiliar with the mathematics behind the signature algorithm? In that case, you'll need to explore it further to discover an alternative approach!
