Only Person in Crypto to Decipher the Bybit Hack

Hey @Vladimir_Cointelegraph & any other reporters for publications that are in here - go ahead and message me on the backend. I figured it out. Ignore EVERYTHING I said about it before. This took me 3 straight weeks of trial and error. But I figured it out. And I have empirical proof. And it’s reproducible. And I have a POC for it (going to be uploaded w the repo) + a breakdown that shows exactly how this occurred step by step in the EVM.

Congratulations if you follow this channel. The smartest person in crypto is back. I said what I said and I stamp that because nobody else figured this out. So they’re either incapable of doing so or they were too lazy to do so (while going the extra step of shelling this out top to bottom to ensure it’s in the general public).

Quick Synopsis

Broke down how the Bybit hack actually happened. Gnosis & Bybit were dead wrong. $100k up if I’m wrong. I reproduced the hack through the EVM, Echidna & ityFuzz. Broke more than one function that governs validation checks. Compromise due to an overflow that corrupted memory in the EVM which allowed the attacker to control the free memory pointer at 0x40 and write to arbitrary slots. Signatures probably were valid but obviously shouldn’t have passed signature validation.
