Time to get your hands dirty!
In this section of the course, you get to use the smart contracts related skills you have acquired so far. This section has 10 challenges, and the difficulty of the challenges increases as you go further.
The game has two characters, Alice and Bob. You help Bob who is trying to give Alice a hard time. Some challenges may time to time introduce other characters as well.
Some challenges require Bob to steal the funds from Alice's smart contracts, some want Bob to halt Alice's smart-contracts using a DOS and some want Bob to blow Alice's mind.

To use this repo you should have the following programmes installed in your machine:
- Node ^18.12.1 installation guide
- Yarn Package Manager installation guide
Clone this repo, cd into it and install the dependencies by pasting the following code into your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/PestoTech/web3-security-challenges.git && cd web3-security-challenges && yarn installThe contracts folder consists of the smart-contracts mentioned in each challenge. test folder consists of the setup scripts of each challenge. Pass the test to win the challenge.
Some challenges would need you to deploy your own smart-contracts, write those in the contracts/BobsContracts folder.
Use ethers.js to code the steps of your hack into the Exploit section of the test script. Use Bob's account to perform all the exploits by using .connect(bob) notation from ethers.js
The default "Exploit" section of all the test files look like this:
it("Exploit", async function () {
/** CODE YOUR EXPLOIT HERE */
});After writing your exploit, run this script from your terminal:
npx hardhat test <PATH_TO_THE_TEST>Alice has deployed a secret Lock on blockchain that opens with a password. Help Bob find out the password and unlock the lock to win this challenge.
Check out the No Privacy smart-contract and find a way to unlock it.
Pass this Test to win the challenge.
Alice and Bob are flipping a coin to decide who is a better smart contract programer.
Help Bob win the coin flip 5 times in a row to win the challenge.
Check out the Head or Tail smart-contract and find a way to hack it.
Pass this Test to win the challenge.
Everyone wants to be at the top of Mount Pesto, but there's space for only one. As they say, everything can be bought with money, so can be the spot at the summit. Whoever sends the Mount Pesto Smart Contract an amount of ether that is larger than the current bribe replaces the previous climber. On such an event, the replaced climber gets paid the new bribe, making a bit of ether in the process!
Alice wants to be at the top at all cost! Alice reclaims the top spot as soon as anyone claims it sending equal bribe.
Help Bob stop Alice from reclaiming the atTheTop position.
Check out the Pesto Hill smart-contract and find a way to hack it.
