Brief Analysis of TornadoCash Governance Exploit

On May 20, 2023, @TornadoCash suffered a governance attack, in which exploiters took control of the governance of TornadoCash by executing a malicious proposal.

Let's see how it happened:

Exploiters first created the proposal… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
On 2023-05-13 at 7:22 (UTC), exploiters initiated the #20 proposal and explained in the proposal that the #20 proposal is a supplement to the #16 proposal and has the same execution logic. Image
But in fact, the proposal contract has an extra self-destruct logic, and its creator, 0x7dC86183274b28E9f1a100a0152DAc975361353d, was created through create2 and has a self-destruct function, so after it self-destructed with the proposal contract, the exploiters could still… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

🚨SlowMist Security Alert 🚨

On May 11th, a user reported a phishing attack leading to the loss of their wallet assets, raising security concerns around permit signatures. This thread is dedicated to understanding the nature of this theft and how we can stay secure.🔐👇

Full… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The victim reported that they inadvertently clicked on a phishing website (syncswap[.]network) and ended up losing over $100. As insignificant as this may seem, it emphasizes the potential security risks in the blockchain space.🔗

An analysis of the transactions reveals a… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
We found an additional permit operation related to the contract caller address. To understand its implications, we need to first understand what a permit is. In the ERC20 protocol, it allows users to interact with smart contracts using an authorization signature (permit). 📝💼… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🚨SlowMist Security Alert🚨

Recently, there have been a lot of asset thefts caused by shared #Apple IDs. We believe that the key is "apps are not bound to device codes".
1/ This is an issue prevalent in 99% of #wallets, trading apps,and other apps. It's a concern we've voiced a long time ago. However, due to it not being considered in the initial stages of app design, the majority of apps in the market have yet to rectify this issue.
2/ This lack of binding can lead to data being dragged off or maliciously synchronized to other devices, resulting in potential breaches. Combined with other techniques such as social engineering, brute force attacks to obtain passwords, this can lead to theft of assets.

How effective is GPT for auditing smart contracts?

We conducted a series of tests to assess the performance of GPT-3.5(Web), GPT-3.5-turbo-0301, and GPT-4(Web) in detecting vulnerabilities within Solidity smart contracts.

🧵👇 for TLDR
slowmist.medium.com/how-effective-…
Test Environment & Methodology:

We utilized simple vulnerability codes and moderately complex vulnerability codes as test cases.

The comparative analysis focused on the three GPT models' ability to identify these vulnerabilities.
Test Results:

For simple vulnerabilities, all three GPT models performed well. However, when it came to more complex vulnerabilities, the models fell short.

GPT-4(Web) showcased exceptional readability but didn't surpass GPT-3.5(Web) or GPT-3.5-turbo-0301 during auditing.

On March 13th, 2023, @eulerfinance, a lending platform that operates on the Ethereum blockchain, was attacked, resulting in the attacker making off with over $190 million.

🧵👇
The attacker used flashloans to deposit funds and then leveraged them twice to trigger the liquidation logic, donating the funds to the reserve address and conducting a self-liquidation to collect any remaining assets. Image
Two key factors contributed to the success of the attack:

1. Funds were donated to the reserved address without being subjected to a liquidity check. This created a mechanism that could directly trigger soft liquidation.

2. When the soft liquidation logic was triggered by high… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

🚨SlowMist Security Alert🚨

On February 10th, the DeFi aggregator platform @dForcenet was attacked, and the attacker made a profit of approximately 3.65 million dollars.

Here is a brief report👇
1/ The attacker first borrowed 69665 WETH through a flashloan and swapped it into ETH, then added liquidity to the wstETH/ETH pool on Curve, earning 65343 wstETHCRV. Then deposited some of the wstETHCRV in the Curve wstETHCRV-gauge, receiving wstETHCRV-gauge tokens.
2/ The attacker used wstETHCRV-gauge to deposit in the dForce wstETH/ETH Vault and minted share tokens (dForce wstETHCRV-gauge) and USX tokens.
