đ´ââ ď¸ Deep dive The real problem comes not from knowing how to hunt for bugs, but from knowing where to hunt for them. Bugs are hiding everywhere, but those who find the most sophisticated ones win the pot. However, what does âsophisticatedâ mean? Sometimes, itâs the attack vectors that consist
This one is significant. Play close attention. Since it destroys 80% of auditors, including ones with a strong track record. Itâs simple: You believe youâve found all the bugs â and you stop early. This is the most common self-inflicted mistake in Web3 security. Not because youâre unskilled.
New codebase? Easy to drown in files, lines, and edge cases. You try to read everything and end up understanding nothing deeply. So the real questions are: * How do I find the most critical flows? * How do I focus most of my time there? Senior auditors ask the same thing
You think experience is just putting in more hours. Yes, hours matter. But many people grind for months or years and still see no real progress. They study AMMs, Lending, Cross-chain, Rust, Solidity, Move. They end up at the bottom of leaderboards earning $1. It sucks. The problem is simple.
This is the most advanced part. And itâs where most auditors quietly fail. Ask a random auditor: âWhat is your audit approach?â Youâll hear: 1. âI read from up to bottom.â 2. âI follow the flow.â 3. âI just read the codeâ Thatâs not an approach. Thatâ
Most auditors can fail at deep bugs before they even begin to hunt Very often - itâs not auditor mistake. But mistake of the project to-be-audited. You canât find deep bugs in a buggy codebase. Your brain never gets the chance to enter a deep flow. The moment
