Reverse Engineering of Blockchain Smart Contracts

Reverse Engineering of Blockchain Smart Contracts

Dive into the world of blockchain smart contracts in this 45-minute conference talk from Recon 2017 Montreal. Explore the implementation of smart contract mechanisms, including Virtual Machines, assembly languages, and instruction sets used by major blockchain platforms. Learn how to disassemble and reconstruct Control Flow Graphs (CFG) of smart contracts, and discover tools for conducting in-depth security analysis. Focus on three key platforms: Ethereum (EVM bytecode), Neo (AVM), and EOS (WASM - WebAssembly). Gain insights from French security researcher Patrick Ventuzelo, who brings expertise from his work at Quoscient GmbH and previous roles at Airbus Defense & Space Cybersecurity, the French Department of Defense, and P1 Security.
