Abstract

NOTE: THIS IS A VIRTUAL WORKSHOP, but takes place live at A New HOPE

Learn how blockchains, cryptocurrency, coin offerings, and smart contracts (including NFTs) work. We will also cover the underlying cryptography: hashes, symmetric encryption, and asymmetric encryption. We will configure wallets, servers, and vulnerable smart contracts, and exploit them. We will configure systems using Bitcoin, Ethereum, Hyperledger, Multichain, Stellar, and more. We will perform exploits including double-spend, reentrancy, integer underflow, and logic flaws. This workshop is structured as a CTF, so each participant can proceed at their own pace. The techniques will be briefly demonstrated, and we will provide tips and help as needed to make sure everyone is able to solve at least some of the challenges. No previous experience with coding or blockchains is required.
