Notes from the show

We are joined by David (aka thehasheddude), the founder of MadShield (formerly SolShield) and infamous twitter personality on crypto-twitter. His primary focus is on security audits and bounties in the Solana ecosystem, and has audited the top tier projects from around the Solana ecosystem.


David shares his mindset of how goes through performing a security audit, including some of the common bugs/exploits he sees. Including how he recommends getting started as a security auditor.

One of my favorite parts is David’s mindset around finding the security vulnerabilities and why he is not tempted to use the exploits to extract funds. Finding the exploits and building relationships with the teams is so motivating for him.
