People often ask me "How did you learn how to hack?" The answer: by reading. This page is a collection of the blog posts and other articles that I have accumulated over the years of my journey. Enjoy!

Finding bugs dynamically via testing frameworks is amazing as a development team. Security issues and general bugs get through less and it requires less person power to go through. There are many ways to go about testing. In article, they introduce the concept of mutation testing.

The idea is simple: let's intentionally introduce bugs into the code and see if the test suite catches it. Remove a modifier, flip comparison operators and deleting code are all great examples of this. By doing this, you test the capability of the test suite to actually find bugs.

Doing this manually would theoretically work. However, it would be time consuming. So, the people at Rare Skills built a tool that works in Solidity for this! The tool Vertigo-rs, a Foundry add-on, is meant to find bugs but randomly mutating the running code. Overall, an interesting way to test code; I'm curious to see how much this takes off.
