A few people asked so here it is. Month by month breakdown on how I became a successful security researcher:. Month 0-2 Learning phase: The very first thing I did to break into smart contract security is to finish @PatrickAlphaC solidity JavaScript course. After this I did the.

Haven't been updating here as much as I used to, mainly due to being busy auditing. The past few months have been a blessing. Wanted to highlight some audits I've done recently. These include big names such as 1inch, yuga, and a peer review for USDT!.

If you are a successful auditor, you do not need to worry about AI. Let’s assume our jobs are taken. Human greed will exist forever, there will always be people who want to have more than others. Thus there will always be ways to acquire more wealth. A lot of the people here.

Full circle moment here. I was brought into the space because of NFTs, 3 years later I am helping secure the most popular NFT collections. Always a pleasure to work with the chads @GuardianAudits . Check out both reports, there’s some great findings!.

1st contest on c4. 2nd place 100% coverage, not bad.

“Greatness is when you make your delusions become your reality”. The biggest thing that holds back many from attaining success in this field and many others is self doubt. Not only will doubt come from yourself but from others you love or are close to you. During my journey to.

Having a presence on Twitter is one of the easiest ways to further your security career and has probably contributed to 50-75% of my income directly as a security researcher. Celebrate your wins.Give others advice.Network and make friends. Doing this daily takes no longer than.

Pushing your body to its limits physically is one of the best feelings. The connection your mind and body develop when you are in peak physical fitness is like no other. I was borderline obese at one point, going from that to shredded changed my life and is the reason I.

Catching a crypto pump and becoming rich out of luck can do more harm than good. The dopamine you receive from getting lucky and catching an insane pump on crypto makes every other form of work feel monotonous and dull. When you work hard for something day after day, even if.

There really is 2 sides to web3. One side wants web3 to be the future of finance. The other is the degen fraud gambling casino. I’ve been on both sides, the former is so much better.

Okay I get the @_MathAcademy_ hype now, it’s so addicting.

5 private audits done this past month. I’ve taken 1 day off. For any of the OGs is this the busiest you’ve been too, or was any time in 2021-2023 busier?.

The life of an auditor is a life of stress. Did I miss anything?.Could I have done more?.What if they get hacked?.Is the client happy with my work?. The more responsibility that falls on your shoulders, the more stressed you are. This stress is necessary to ensure you aren’t.

I can’t explain it but after a late night of focused auditing, my brain feels like it’s vibrating or there’s some sort of white noise when trying to sleep. Am I the only one lol?.

When ai is able to be good enough to beat out 99.9% of auditors, anyone that makes an ai auditing company will soon after go out of business. Assuming ai intelligence is exponential, which is likely true, the company who had a slight edge will run out of business because in 3-6.

For the person that feels like laziness and procrastination is holding them back from reaching their true potential, this was me last year. Believe me I am as lazy as it gets haha. I would go days doing nothing and feeling like I am really wasting my potential. I knew I could be.

I have been booked almost everyday since the start of December and sometimes have to turn down jobs due to being too busy. This marks almost exactly 2 years since I started to teach myself solidity. The best decision I have made so far. All I can say is that success is.

Throwback to my trading days. Still remains the most profitable trade I’ve ever made. 5k -> nearly 100k in ~1 week. This was a couple days before the stock squeezed. Good times.

Stop looking for the best roadmap and stop trying to find a mentor to answer all your questions. Learn the basics and get to hacking simple as that. The problem is that people always want the path of least resistance. This stuff is hard, work hard or get left behind.
