Comprehensive Security Assessment

We teach you to identify vulnerabilities before they become exploits. Our methodology covers everything from reentrancy attacks to oracle manipulation, giving you the skills to protect decentralized applications.

Students work with actual smart contract codebases from major DeFi projects, learning to spot patterns that lead to million-dollar exploits. The approach mirrors what security firms use for high-stakes audits.

Complex smart contract code analysis showing potential security vulnerabilities

Live Network Testing

Practice on testnets and forks of mainnet protocols. You'll learn to use professional tools like Hardhat, Foundry, and custom fuzzing frameworks that uncover edge cases other testers miss.

Real blockchain testing isn't about following checklists — it's about understanding economic incentives, game theory, and how attackers think. We show you both sides of every vulnerability.

Hands-On Security Lab

Practice with vulnerable smart contracts in our controlled environment. Each exercise is based on actual exploits that happened in production.

Flash Loan Attacks

Master the mechanics behind some of DeFi's largest exploits. Learn how attackers manipulate prices and drain protocols using borrowed capital.

Governance Exploits

Understand how voting mechanisms can be manipulated. Study real cases where governance tokens were used to drain treasuries.

Cross-Chain Bridges

Bridge security is notoriously difficult. Practice finding the validation flaws that have led to billion-dollar losses in cross-chain protocols.

Why Traditional Testing Falls Short

Blockchain systems operate under completely different rules than web applications. Immutability means there are no rollbacks when things go wrong. Economic incentives create attack vectors that don't exist in traditional software.

Smart contracts handle real money from day one — bugs cost millions
Decentralized systems create new categories of economic attacks
Composability means protocols interact in unexpected ways
Front-running and MEV create timing-based vulnerabilities
Governance tokens introduce new political attack vectors

Our program addresses these realities. You'll learn to think like both a security researcher and an attacker, understanding the economic incentives that drive blockchain exploits.

Common Attack Patterns

Understanding how exploits work is essential for effective testing. These patterns appear across different protocols and blockchains.

Price Oracle Manipulation

Attackers manipulate on-chain price feeds to create arbitrage opportunities. We show you how to test oracle dependencies and implement proper price validation.

Reentrancy Variants

Classic reentrancy has evolved. Learn about read-only reentrancy, cross-function reentrancy, and other sophisticated variants that bypass basic protections.

Sandwich Attacks

MEV bots profit from user transactions by manipulating prices. Understanding these mechanics helps you test slippage protection and MEV resistance.

Integer Overflow/Underflow

Even with Solidity 0.8+, overflow issues still occur in assembly blocks and older dependencies. Learn comprehensive testing strategies.

Access Control Bypass

Complex permission systems often have edge cases. We teach systematic approaches to testing role-based access across all contract functions.

Learn From Industry Veterans

Our lead instructor discovered vulnerabilities in three major DeFi protocols before they could be exploited, saving over $50 million in potential losses.

She's worked with some of Taiwan's largest blockchain companies, helping them secure their smart contracts before mainnet deployment. Her background includes formal verification research and practical penetration testing.

But what students appreciate most is her ability to explain complex attack vectors in practical terms. She doesn't just show you what to look for — she explains why attackers choose specific strategies and how to think several steps ahead.
