Solidity smart contract security doesn't need to be a mystery. All the exploit vectors currently circulating in crypto can be traced back to a finite set of known vulnerability patterns. A comprehensive taxonomy of every documented Solidity exploit already exists—from reentrancy attacks to integer overflow bugs, access control flaws to front-running techniques. Developers who study this exploit catalog will recognize that crypto hacks rarely introduce novel attack vectors. They're mostly variations on existing themes. The security fundamentals remain constant: understand the complete exploit taxonomy, audit your code against each pattern, and you've eliminated the majority of attack surface.

ngl, this theory sounds good, but in actual practice, you still have to fall flat to understand... Developers often think they have mastered the basics of security, only to be exploited by some variant.

That's true, but on the other hand, how many developers have really finished learning this set? Most of them are probably just coding and praying while doing it, haha.

To be honest, this set of theories sounds good, but the number of devs who can actually review all the vulnerabilities is painfully few.

It sounds like safety is about closing known vulnerabilities one by one, but why do incidents still happen every day in real projects?

That's correct, but the reality is that most developers simply don't read that directory carefully...
