This repository is an open-source, educational project dedicated to breaking down the most critical attack vectors and how to prevent them. The mission is to bridge the gap between complex security reports and the practical knowledge developers need to build safer protocols.
Inspired for BlockThreat DeFi Attack Vectors - Top 10 by risk, this project provides deep-dive articles on the top attack vectors.
This repository contains a series of articles, each focused on a single, high-impact attack vector. You can read the published articles on the website: https://attackvectors.org/
We move beyond complex and lengthy explanations to provide an easy-to-understand and complete resource for developers, built on insights from security experts.
Each article follows this structure:
- A clear, concise definition of the vulnerability in plain English.
- An explanation of the root cause.
- A Real-World Impact section detailing a real-world case.
- A step-by-step breakdown of the attacker's playbook.
- Vulnerable code snippets and conceptual diagrams.
- An explanation of the underlying technical mechanics.
- Actionable, code-level mitigation strategies.
- Best practices and design patterns.
Whether you're fixing a typo, clarifying an explanation, or proposing a new article, your input is valuable.
- Fork the repository.
- Create a new branch.
- Make your changes.

The information provided in this repository is for educational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, the security space evolves rapidly, and you should always conduct your own research and consult with professional security auditors.
