All you need to do to get good at auditing is work 7 days a week for about 12 months. Not much more needed than that.

A constant self-evaluation is the only way to progress as auditor.

The step from auditing things you know have issues (like ethernaut) to things you don't now have issuse (live + heavily audited code) is very simple. The answer is they all have issues.

The rick ruben of the audit world is @0xCharlesWang. You will only understand this in a few years when people who audited with him went from mid to top tier in 2-3 audits.

And still the amount of crits this has got me is unreal: soundcloud.com/kore-g/esoteri… Not for faint of hearted but neither is auditing. Add 1-2 upper decky zyns for extra spice.

Its not really that deep a dive through the code if you don't end somewhere in the consensus layer.

@0x3b33 @_marvyCodes @32bits_Toby brother, you're making at least 5x of the average salary in your country. It's all in your head. You can have access to anything.

Unpopular opinion: if you’re new to auditing, you don’t need to master every new language. What matters more is learning to think like an attacker. Skip the syntax, focus on the systems. Systems exist everywhere, not just written in solidity or rust. Imagine skipping a spot in…

I switched to colemak keyboard layout in april and doubled typing speed (now in top 2%). If you think thats stupid waste of time, then at least switch your capslock with your delete key.

Auditing is basically 10% reading Solidity and 90% asking why would anyone do this?

I have been looking at @aave v4 over the past weeks. The new hub <> spoke architecture is neat: it makes the code simpler and improves isolation aave.com/blog/understan… They now use explicit rounding directions in all operations, which reduces risks and should be a standard…

Relying on fully coded pocs to validate your issue avoids having to be absolutely diligent and have machine precision. So I think I finally agree that pocs are great if you are new! But a failed poc means your idea didn’t work, and now you can backwards engineer why. You don’t…

Cryptography from the very beginning, look at Introduction to Cryptography by Nigel Smart. It'll cover everything you need to know as a beginner in cryptograhpy, without any pre-requisites. It's a decent length text book but so worth the time. (It's also free)
