i scored $100k off of a bitcoin exploit
 

cve: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-33297

exploit code i put together for bitcoin worked exceedingly well against bitcoin sv and they threw $100k at me for helping them patch it

i've found approx 75+ unique layer one blockchain exploits; 225+ if you count how badly i brutalized tendermint/cosmos which serves as the backbone to 150+ blockchains

in q1 i made the industry pay out $160k from various bug bounties

these things are not programmed correctly and we are nowhere near using cryptocurrency as a reserve - someone run that up to the illuminati - probably important

You sound talented (out-of-whackness included). Congrats.

Explain the blockchain's problems like I'm a drunk and retarded

yeah i'm dope thanks

drunk retard version = alice wants to send 100 hugglescoins to bob. computers work together to make that transaction happen. carefully crafted questions asked to the computers that are working together can make them crash and stop working. that results in a blockchain network going down and sometimes opens the door to a 51% attack. that's when you have more computer power than the rest of the network and it allows you to print free money (hugglescoin baby!)

smart version = i find ways to oom nodes by sending malformed packets, entering in as a peer and pulling mempool, block ranges, warp speed pinging, whatever it takes to out of memory crash the blockchain node. i've smacked most blockchains i've taken aim at. if i don't give up my success rate is probably 9.x/10 - and that was the grueling case with the bitcoin exploits. blockchain may be fundamentally broken by way of botnet. ordinarily a botnet would bloody its knuckles against any blockchain network, but when certain malformed requests are moved into the node that make it overthink it's game over

Nice find, and props for the responsible disclosure - glad you got a decent payout for getting involved.

This thread is titled wrong. You're talking about BitcoinSV, a centralized shitcoin created by a known fraudster (Craig Wright), it has nothing to do with Bitcoin, you can't successfully run any concerning exploits on BTC.

other than oom bitcoind core on recommended specs - and here's antpool flipping their shit about it when someone tested it against the btc mainnet you blathering retard

watch your cocksucker and know who you're running it to before it's too late faggot

May 2023:

"v24.1, with mitigations for the issues you are seeing, should be available shortly."

:1orglaugh :321GFY

uh - yes a bugfix - one they fumbled btw

is there anyone without brain damage itt who wants to nerd out with me? this guy is a fag

Next time maybe can we gather some money and pay you for the exploit and print free money :)

I’ll take “Things that never happened” for $100 Alex

That's a bridge too far ... wacky is alright for now.

That is the interesting thing about most crypto. It can be traced, if you want to bad enough. Better to just report the bug.

Remember a dude stole some Ethereum. He couldn't do anything with it. He was offered a bounty and gave it all back.

i'll take salty faggot for $1 because you're a broke retard

Just curious, have you had any problems with bounties not paying out? I want to try some code bounties but I've heard that it's hard to get paid sometimes for various reasons.
Closest thing I've done to a code bounty is winning a hack a thon at a radio station, won a ton of free wings lol..

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

yeah - particularly in the blockchain "industry" it's nearly impossible to get payouts

i now use a sizable mining pool to middle my bug bounties because the companies fear being exposed as seedy free exploit siphoners when heavyweights are involved

Congrats on the win! Don’t let the haters bring you down!

bless you sandman you og you

What about ethereum and other cryptos? Are some safer than the others?

Don't forget ETH had a major chain rollback, because centralized. (check the Dao hack)

And Vit speaking on ETH L2's:



None are safer or more secure than Bitcoin. :2 cents:

exploits are regularly found in bitcoin ya cultist

I said Bitcoin is the most safe & secure, do you wish to challenge that?

yes - geth/goethereum is way more secure than bitcoind

geth !== solidity, mind you

Why is bitcoin traded into fiat

Who controls the supply of fiat?

For the same reason someone would trade shares, gold, real estate into fiat.
