This blog explores the fascinating world of fuzz testing methodologies and frameworks. We delve into stateless and stateful fuzzing. Bounded Model Checking (BMC) is introduced as a technique to verify systems against predefined specifications. Additionally, we discuss the essence of End-to-End (E2E) testing, combining structured scenarios with fuzz testing's unpredictability. Lastly, we compare renowned fuzzing tools, Echidna and Foundry, highlighting their unique features and differences.
The article "Infiltrating The EVM IV - Echoes of the Past, Visions for Tomorrow" takes readers on a captivating journey through real-life incidents in the realm of blockchain security. Three gripping narratives stand out: the MISO rescue mission, the Dark Forest of Ethereum, and the Siren Market exploit.
Fuzz testing, or fuzzing, is a technique used to improve the security of software, including smart contracts in Solidity. It involves supplying random or unexpected data as inputs to a system in an attempt to break it and uncover vulnerabilities that manual testing might miss. Fuzzers generate a set of inputs for testing scenarios that may have been missed during unit testing, helping to identify bugs and potential security issues.

Fixing a bug in traditional software development is often likened to solving a difficult puzzle, each presenting its own challenges. This task has always been complex and time-consuming. However, resolving bugs in a blockchain system is even more demanding due to its transparent & permissionless nature and the high stakes involved with users' funds.
Infiltrating the EVM-I: Demystifying Smart Contracts & Auditing comprises of information about compilation breakdown of solidity code, the vulnerable components of blockchain ecosystem and how Smart contract auditing is crucial.
Web 3.0 is a semantic web where it promises to establish information in a better-existing way than any current search engine can ever attain. Web 3.0 promotes four concepts which mainly are authenticity, i.e, every piece of information existing on the internet is a fact or derived from a fact. Integrity, willingness to abide by moral principles, and ethical values. Transparency, the data present on the internet is accessible for every user to witness. Lastly, Confidentiality which is achieved by Blockchain technology, where every user’s identity is anonymous, making it secure.
The security team at BlockApex decided to test these applications for vulnerabilities that could compromise their data. We knew that the software industry in Pakistan always keeps security out of their toolkit to reduce the cost of development.
Blockchain Trilemma - coined by Vitalik Buterin himself, is a condition in which the blockchain undergoes a compromising stage. It is truly believed that a fully decentralized network can never be scalable and secured at the same time.
