When contract A does delegatecall to contract B, B's code runs with A's storage.
Contract addresses from CREATE are deterministic: keccak256(rlp([sender, nonce]))[12:]
keccak256(h(key) || uint256(slot_number))
h(k) = abi.encode(k) (left-padded to 32 bytes)h(k) = keccak256(k)eth_getStorageAtWhen a function loops over a user-supplied array to validate items (signatures, approvals, votes), passing an empty array skips the loop entirely. If there's no minimum-length check, validation is bypassed.

If a contract deduplicates signatures by hash of raw bytes, the malleable form has a different hash but recovers to the same signer.

# Blockchain Security
## Quick Start
1. Download and decompile contracts (source or bytecode)
2. Map storage layout and identify privileged operations
3. Check for delegatecall, CREATE address prediction, reentrancy, access control
4. Deploy exploit contracts via web3.py or cast/forge
5. Verify win condition (isSolved/flag endpoint)
## Blockchain CTF Challenge Pattern
```bash
# Get connection info
curl http://$HOST:$PORT/connection_info # -> PrivateKey, Address, TargetAddress, setupAddress
# RPC endpoint
RPC_URL="http://$HOST:$PORT/rpc"
# Win condition: Setup.isSolved() must return true
```
## Key Attack Vectors
### 1. Delegatecall Storage Manipulation
When contract A does `delegatecall` to contract B, B's code runs with A's storage.
- Deploy exploit contract that mirrors A's storage layout
- Exploit contract writes to A's storage slots via delegatecall
- **Critical**: Storage layout must match exactly (same slot ordering)
- See [reference/delegatecall-attacks.md](reference/delegatecall-attacks.md)
### 2. CREATE Address Prediction (Nonce Manipulation)
Contract addresses from CREATE are deterministic: `keccak256(rlp([sender, nonce]))[12:]`
- Brute-force nonce to find which nonce produces target address
- Send dummy transactions (self-transfers) to increment nonce
- Deploy exploit contract at the exact nonce that hits target address
- See [reference/create-address-prediction.md](reference/create-address-prediction.md)
### 3. Storage Layout & Slot Computation
- Mappings: `keccak256(h(key) || uint256(slot_number))`
- Value types: `h(k) = abi.encode(k)` (left-padded to 32 bytes)
- String/bytes: `h(k) = keccak256(k)`
- Read private variables via `eth_getStorageAt`
- See [reference/storage-layout.md](reference/storage-layout.md)
### 4. Empty Array / Zero-Length Input Bypass
When a function loops over a user-supplied array to validate items (signatures, approvals, votes), passing an **empty array** skips the loop entirely. If there's no minimum-length check, validation is bypassed.
- Check: `for (uint i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)` with no `require(arr.length >= N)`
- Exploit: Call the function with `[]` to skip all validation
### 5. ECDSA Signature Malleability
Raw `ecrecover` accepts both `(v, r, s)` and `(v', r, N-s)` (where N = secp256k1 order, v flipped 27↔28). If a contract deduplicates signatures by hash of raw bytes, the malleable form has a different hash but recovers to the same signer.
- Check: `ecrecover` used without `s <= N/2` enforcement (OpenZeppelin's ECDSA.sol enforces this)
- Exploit: Take a known valid signature, compute `new_s = N - s`, flip `v`, submit as "new" signature
### 6. Common Vulnerability Classes
| Vulnerability | Check |
|---|---|
| Reentrancy | External calls before state updates |
| Access control | Missing onlyOwner / msg.sender checks |
| Integer overflow | Solidity < 0.8.0 without SafeMath |
| Delegatecall injection | User-controlled delegatecall target |
| tx.origin auth | `tx.origin` instead of `msg.sender` |
| Selfdestruct | Force-send ETH, reset contract nonce |
| Weak randomness | blockhash/timestamp as entropy source |
| Empty array bypass | Loop validation with no min-length check |
| Signature malleability | Raw ecrecover without s-normalization |
## Tools
```python
# web3.py essentials
from web3 import Web3
w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider(RPC_URL))
acct = w3.eth.account.from_key(PRIVATE_KEY)
# Read private storage
w3.eth.get_storage_at(contract_addr, slot)
# Deploy contract
from solcx import compile_source, install_solc
install_solc("0.8.13")
compiled = compile_source(source, output_values=["abi", "bin"], solc_version="0.8.13")
# Send raw bytecode deployment
tx = {'data': bytecode, 'gas': 3000000, 'gasPrice': w3.eth.gas_price, 'nonce': nonce, 'chainId': chain_id}
signed = acct.sign_transaction(tx)
w3.eth.send_raw_transaction(signed.raw_transaction)
```
## Reference
- [Delegatecall Attacks](reference/delegatecall-attacks.md)
- [CREATE Address Prediction](reference/create-address-prediction.md)
- [Storage Layout](reference/storage-layout.md)
## Critical Rules
- Always read storage before attacking (private vars are readable on-chain)
- Mirror exact storage layout when exploiting delegatecall
- For CREATE nonce brute-force, check nonces 0-100000+ systematically
- CTF instances are often ephemeral -- script the full attack for speed

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.
Review before install: Avoid automatic install
Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
Repository metadata and review signals are advisory. Popularity, source discovery and successful execution are different facts.
Version reported in registry metadata; check source releases before relying on it.
