TRAIL OF BITS

Their Toolset

Tool	What It Does	When to Use
Slither	Static analysis for Solidity/Vyper	Always — run first
Echidna	Property-based fuzzer (write invariants, it breaks them)	Write 3-5 invariants before reading code
Medusa	Next-gen fuzzer, multi-core, parallel corpus	Deeper campaigns after Echidna
Manticore	Symbolic execution — confirms if a path is truly reachable	Specific PoC confirmation
Halmos	Symbolic unit testing — proves for ALL inputs	Math-heavy functions

Echidna Quick Start

// Write invariants BEFORE fully reading the code
contract VaultInvariants {
    Vault vault;

    // Protocol should never owe more than it holds
    function echidna_solvency() public view returns (bool) {
        return vault.totalAssets() >= vault.totalDebt();
    }

    // Share math must be consistent
    function echidna_share_math() public view returns (bool) {
        return vault.balanceOf(address(this)) <= vault.totalSupply();
    }

    // cumulativeRewardPerShare only ever increases
    function echidna_reward_monotonic() public view returns (bool) {
        return vault.cumulativeRewardPerShare() >= lastRewardPerShare;
    }
}

echidna contracts/VaultInvariants.sol --contract VaultInvariants --test-mode assertion

# With config
echidna Test.sol --contract EchidnaTest --config echidna.yaml

# echidna.yaml
testLimit: 50000
seqLen: 100
workers: 4
corpusDir: corpus/

Medusa Setup

# Install
# github.com/crytic/medusa
go install github.com/crytic/medusa@latest

# Run (coverage-guided, multi-core)
medusa fuzz --config medusa.json

# medusa.json
{
  "fuzzing": {
    "workers": 4,
    "testLimit": 500000,
    "corpusDirectory": "corpus"
  }
}

Medusa vs Echidna: Medusa is faster on large contracts due to coverage-guided exploration. Use Echidna for first pass, Medusa for extended campaigns.

Trail of Bits Audit Methodology

1. THREAT MODEL FIRST
   - What are the assets? (tokens, governance power, user funds)
   - What are the trust boundaries? (who can call what?)
   - What are the attack surfaces? (entry points, external calls)

2. STATIC ANALYSIS
   - Run Slither with all detectors
   - Examine SlithIR output for complex functions
   - Map ALL state variables and who can write them

3. WRITE INVARIANTS BEFORE READING EVERYTHING
   - "totalAssets >= totalDebt always"
   - "shares * pricePerShare == underlying always"
   - "user can always withdraw their full deposit"
   - Run Echidna. Watch it break them.

4. SYMBOLIC EXECUTION ON HIGH-VALUE PATHS
   - Use Manticore/Halmos for precise reachability confirmation
   - Confirms "can an attacker actually reach state X?"

5. MANUAL REVIEW — FOCUS ON
   - Business logic (not syntax — Slither caught that)
   - Economic invariants (is the math right under adversarial conditions?)
   - Access control (who can call what, when, with what params?)

6. DIFFERENTIAL TESTING
   - Compare against reference implementation
   - "Function A does X. Function B does the same thing differently. Why?"
   - The inconsistency IS the bug.

Key Bug Classes From Real ToB Audits

EVM / Solidity:

REENTRANCY VARIANTS (still common)
- Cross-function: lock in depositA, reenter via depositB before state update
- Cross-contract: callback to attacker contract via safeTransfer
- Read-only: view function reads stale state during reentrant call
  (Curve $70M — most underestimated variant)

ROUNDING ERRORS
- Division before multiplication: (a / b) * c vs (a * c) / b
- Wrong rounding direction (should round up for safety, rounds down)
- Precision loss in sequential operations

WEAK FIAT-SHAMIR (ZK SYSTEMS — ToB IEEE S&P 2023)
- ZK proof prover can forge proofs if transcript not fully committed
- Missing: challenge must bind all public inputs
- Check: is the verifier challenge a hash of EVERYTHING the prover touches?

ACCESS CONTROL GAPS
- Function A has onlyOwner → sibling function B does NOT
- Emergency functions callable by non-emergency roles
- Initializer called after deployment without restrictions

UNSAFE UPGRADES
- Storage slot collision between proxy and implementation
- Uninitialized implementation contract (selfdestruct vector)
- delegatecall to address from storage (attacker controls target)

SIGNATURE REPLAY
- Missing nonce in signed message
- Missing chainId in signed message
- Missing contract address in signed message

DeFi-Specific (from Uniswap, Frax, Reserve Protocol, Scroll audits):

LIQUIDITY MATH EDGE CASES
- Integer overflow at extreme tick values (Uniswap V3 type)
- Rounding direction matters at boundary

ORACLE MANIPULATION
- TWAP too short → manipulable in same block
- Spot price used directly → 1-tx manipulation

L2 BRIDGE TRUST
- Message replay across chain reorgs
- Missing sequence number validation
- Finality assumptions wrong for specific L2

The "Risk Accepted" Hunt

ToB's most valuable contribution to bug bounty hunting:

1. Find the audit report PDF for your target protocol
   (GitHub, protocol docs, "audits" page)

2. Search for "Risk Accepted" or "Acknowledged"

3. For each acknowledged finding:
   - Is the root cause still in the code? → grep to verify
   - Has any code been added AROUND the bug that creates new attack paths?
   - Is there a NEW function that has the same missing check?

4. This is valid because:
   - Protocol explicitly said "we won't fix this"
   - BUT: if new code makes it exploitable → that is a NEW bug

SLOWMIST LEARNING ROADMAP

The 4-Phase Path

Phase 1: Foundation (1-3 months)         → Solidity + EVM + Ethernaut
Phase 2: DeFi Protocols & Real Hacks (2-4 months) → AMMs, lending, bridges + reproduce hacks
Phase 3: EVM Internals + Advanced (3-6 months)    → Storage, proxies, fuzzing, first contest
Phase 4: Multi-Chain + Specialization (ongoing)   → Pick your chain + live Immunefi bounties

Phase 1: Foundation

Blockchain Basics:

Ethereum accounts, transactions, blocks, gas
Mempool: pending transactions, frontrunning mechanics
Storage: world state, Merkle-Patricia trees, slot layout

Solidity (Essential Level):

Data types, memory vs storage vs calldata vs stack
Function visibility: public, external, internal, private
Low-level: call, delegatecall, staticcall, create, create2
Assembly (Yul): inline assembly, memory layout

Key Resources:

1. Solidity docs: docs.soliditylang.org (read ALL of it)
2. Cyfrin Updraft: free courses, beginner to advanced
3. "Mastering Ethereum" — Antonopoulos (Chapters 1–7)
4. Solidity by Example: solidity-by-example.org

Practice:

1. Ethernaut: ethernaut.openzeppelin.com — 30 challenges (complete ALL before Phase 2)
2. Capture The Ether: capturetheether.com — foundational math/crypto bugs
3. Damn Vulnerable DeFi: damnvulnerabledefi.xyz — do after Phase 2

Phase 1 checkpoint:

Can write a Solidity contract without referencing docs
Understand storage slot layout (slots, packing, mappings)
Completed all Ethernaut challenges
Can explain reentrancy, integer overflow, access control bugs verbally

Phase 2: DeFi Protocols & Real Hacks

Protocols to Understand Deeply (Tier 1 — composes with everything):

1. Uniswap V2/V3 — AMM formula x*y=k, flash swaps, TWAP oracle
2. Aave V3 — aTokens, flash loans, health factor + liquidation
3. Compound V2/V3 — cTokens, borrow/supply rates
4. ERC4626 — shares vs assets, first depositor attack, rounding direction

How to Study Real Hacks:

1. Read the post-mortem (rekt.news, medium, blog)
2. Find the transaction on Etherscan
3. Trace on Phalcon/Tenderly
4. Find the PoC: git clone https://github.com/SunWeb3Sec/DeFiHackLabs
5. Run it: forge test -vvv --contracts src/test/YEAR-MONTH/HackName_exp.sol
6. Add comments explaining every line

Hacks to Study (priority order):

1.  Cream Finance (Oct 2021) — $130M — flash loan + price manipulation
2.  Euler Finance (Mar 2023) — $197M — donation attack + liquidation
3.  Mango Markets (Oct 2022) — $117M — self-oracle manipulation
4.  Nomad Bridge (Aug 2022) — $200M — zero-value as trusted root
5.  Beanstalk (Apr 2022) — $182M — flash loan governance
6.  Curve Finance (Jul 2023) — $70M — Vyper compiler reentrancy
7.  Wormhole (Feb 2022) — $320M — fake sysvar on Solana
8.  Balancer (Aug 2023) — $2M — read-only reentrancy
9.  Poly Network (Aug 2021) — $610M — arbitrary external call
10. Compound Governance (Sep 2022) — $150M — proposal bug
