Practice:

• Use just about everything from my special compendium: telegra.ph/All-known-smart-contract-side-and-user-side-attacks-and-vulnerabilities-in-Web30--DeFi-03-31 and https://telegra.ph/Solidity-Catsheets-Pack-03-20 ❗️❗️❗️

• Study: quillaudits.substack.com/p/openseas-official-discord-compromised and rekt.news

• Separately, you'll need to study the audit checklists: t.me/officer_cia/177

• twitter.com/0xBlasco/status/1500455598684618753 - these courses

• Blockchain security framework - t.me/officer_cia/232

• Tokenomics simulation tools t.me/officer_cia/69 and understand it (resources) t.me/officer_cia/89

• speedrunethereum.com or cryptozombies, capture the ether or ethernaut.openzeppelin.com (see my selection - the very first link in the article, there is a section about gamification)

• Study very carefully github.com/Rari-Capital/solcurity and cmichel.io/how-to-become-a-smart-contract-auditor and pentacle.xyz/projects/security

• The internal security of the project - docs.google.com/document/d/1-_0Wlwch_vtkPM4F-SdEXLjQYaYT7KoPlU2rjt7tkLQ/edit
