Day 0/129 of finding my first valid bug in an audit contest. I am a web3 beginner, who already knows Solidity and Rust fundamentals. In order to learn to break, I decided I need to learn to build first. That's what I'm going to be doing for the beginning of this challenge.

Day 1/129 of finding my first valid bug in an audit contest Today I wrote a minimalistic staking contract (Solidity) in order to get better at #DeFi Math (wanna master it) and seeing it written in code. I did spent some time writing the math on paper before that. #Web3

Day 2/129 of finding my first valid bug in audit contest Started refactoring my staking contract from yesterday, still getting confused from some of the math. Began studying Uniswap v2. lesgoooo #Web3 #DeFi

Day 3/129 of finding my first bug in audit contest Saw this older post, having already completed those courses, lets dive in some First Flights. Gonna shadow audit 2 first flights and follow the rest.

Day 4-7 of finding my first bug in audit contest Had some personal things to handle and couldn't spend as much time reviewing code as I wanted, but now it's time to hit harder. Managed to go through 2 past First Flights and found almost everything. Next --> shadow audit Beedle

Day 5 of finding my first bug in audit contest Managed to spend couple of hours to shadow audit beedle and actually found some interesting stuff. Gonna update when I believe I'm ready with it. #defi #web3 #web3sec

Day 6/129 of finding my first bug in audit contest Got sick today, still managed to review some Beedle code. found some stuff actually

Day 8*

Day 9*

Day 9-13/129 of finding my first bug in audit contest Was feeling really bad these days, focus was an issue. I really hated it because I felt tired almost all the time and couldn't spend quality time reviewing Beedle. Tomorrow is the last day I try to find smth in it.

Do you guys put a lot pressure on yourselves ? These days, as mentioned, couldn't do anything and everything felt like wasting time, not getting any closer to my final goal. The frustration is unreal..and no, I haven't lost my hunger..

Day 14-15 of finding my first bug in audit contest Finished shadow auditing Beedle, thought I found a lot of things, but wooow how have I not seen these other bugs ?! Started studying the missed bugs and figure out why I missed them. #defi #web3
