Private data shouldn’t be stored on-chain […]

Level 7 of Ethernaut is Force, a lesson in self destruction. We are given this contract that contains a cat: Since the contract has no payable fallback functions we can’t send ether to the contract in the traditional ways.But the hints let us know to use another contract to attack, enter selfdestruct() Self Destruct Contracts

We are given the following Solidity file that contains two contracts Delegate and Delegation. Get your new instance and open your console. According to the Solidity docs, delegatecall is similar to a call except it passes the original msg.sender and msg.value, rather than the contract making the call: There exists a special variant of a

Telephone asks us to claim ownership of the contract. Learn the difference between tx.origin and msg.sender. It supplies us with the following source code: The contract seems simple enough, with just one function changeOwner we can see the requirements for claiming ownership: It seems that tx.origin can not (!=) equal the msg.sender. So let’s head

10 consecutive correct guesses on a coin flip? There is a tiny chance we are gonna have to work the system. We are given the source code of the contract, it tracks consecutiveWins and has a flip function that takes in a bool _guess and returns a bool for heads or tails. Let’s take a

Fallout or FAL1OUT as the hint in the image says, has an error in the code that incorrectly implements a constructor that leads to ownership transfer by any public address interacting with a specific function. This is the first level that suggests we try Solidity’s Remix IDE, a fully web based IDE for solidity with

Level 1 “Fallback” gives us the source code of a contract, to beat the level we must claim ownership of the contract and drain it’s balance to 0. Using the Get new instance button, we deploy our contract. Take a look over the Solidity smart contract code: First things first, we need to claim ownership
