So proud of this team 🔥
We spent years finding vulnerabilities before attackers did. That was the easy part. Teams already know what's broken. Nobody has the bandwidth to close it. Today we raised $16.5M to make Cantina the security workforce for your security workforce. cantina.review/next-chapter-…

Always a pleasure working with the @arkisxyz team. Excited to see where this goes.
Arkis has partnered with @spearbit, the security research firm behind reviews for @Morpho, @coinbase and @liquid_col to create the first fully verifiable, tamper-proof digital provenance for institutional smart contracts. @spearbit's sign-off is required before any release reaches production, and anyone can verify it independently. arkis.xyz/blog/arkis-x-spear…

We’re putting real engineering time into getting this right. If you want to follow progress or get early access, the waitlist is in the original post.
The AI security tool we’re building surfaced a high-severity vulnerability in Cosmos’ bug bounty, confirmed on HackerOne. We’re designing it for signal > noise so organizations can prioritize real risk. The waitlist is now open.

Full report isn't out yet, but it seems like the attacker can replace target address with its own. So check that your computer isn't affected. jdstaerk.substack.com/p/we-j…

Great write-ups by @patrickd_de! Highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance their knowledge in the field!
I normally find retweeting my own stuff pretty cringe, but it seems like lot's of you haven't seen these yet and I honestly think they're severely underrated :P ventral.digital/posts/2023/3…

There are many tutorials on how to become an auditor, but not as many about auditor's mindset. I personally believe a common mistake many new auditors make is 'Starting Small'. 🧵👇

While some people might want to rush into audits, and win small prizes by finding minor bugs, focusing on learning and growing as an auditor has much more return on time investment in the long run.

As an auditor, trust yourself and use your unique perspective and find those bugs that only you can find. There is a big bug waiting for you to be found Mr. White Hat. What are you waiting for? 👀
