Words of Wisdom


Cover

"Learn by doing"

Stop wasting time trying to learn some concepts up-front.

Learn as you do, especially in security reviews.

"Setup that feedback loop"

  • Failing by missing vulnerabilities is normal. You can’t do without it.

  • But failing multiple times on the same issues is not acceptable.

  • Get that feedback loop up, be sure to never miss this issue again.

"Question everything"

Question, question, question. Don’t take assumptions, or if you do you should question them too! Then look for the answer, you may be surprised!

"Cut the abstraction down"

“This should work like this, I’m not checking it!”

Are you sure about that anon?

"Interpret that small line of code"

What does this line of code means on the whole protocol? What consequences does it have on other workflows?

Interpret the small lines within the project’s big picture!

"Have fun!"

It’s OK to not enjoy a codebase. With competitions, you can just wrap-up and go with another you enjoy!

I’ve done it in the past, I will do it in the future. Because competitions allow it!
