reticenceji / forge-poc

This is a collaborative repository that aims to provide reusable and easily modifiable PoC examples for a variety of EVM based vulnerabilities. This will increase the quality of bug reports and allow whitehats an easier, faster way to create PoCs and verify their claims. These templates are intended for testing proof of concepts in local forks for submission to bug bounty programs. Any other use is explicitly prohibited.

Overview

Installation

Foundry is required to use this repository. See: https://book.getfoundry.sh/getting-started/installation.

Getting Started 📖

1️⃣ First, set up the interfaces for the protocol you will be creating a PoC for. You can create your own interface contracts, create an interface automatically with Foundry's cast interface commandline tool, or download the full source code for contracts for the protocol using Foundry's cast etherscan-source command line tool. To use the cast commands, define the ETHERSCAN_API_KEY environment variable, then call cast with either of the following methods:

a. Download the interface (recommended)

Rather than copying the entire smart contract code itself, you can use the Interface feature introduced in Solidity version 0.6.x to define which functions a contract implements. To do so automatically, run the following command in the console:

cast interface [address] -o src/external/interfaces/IExample.sol -n IExample

Foundry automatically creates the interface based on the externally available functions according to the contracts ABI. Then import the newly created interface contract in your PoC:

import "./external/interfaces/IExample.sol";

see also: ABI to sol

b. Download the entire source code

Alternatively, you can download the entire source code from Etherscan like block explorers using the following command:

*🚨 When downloading source code from deployed contracts, there may be remappings that need to be modified for the source files to compile. Add any necessary remappings to remappings.txt.

cast etherscan-source [address] -d src/external

This will download the contracts' entire source code to src/external, where you can import any contract interfaces by adding the following to the top of your PoC:

import "./external/ExampleProtocol/ExampleEtherscanContract.sol";

Optionally, append --chain [chain_name] to specify a chain other than the Ethereum mainnet to download contracts from. Note: you will have to update your Etherscan API key when switching between different chains.

---

2️⃣ Pick a PoC template and modify the template file which extends* from the corresponding source contract. Within the template contract, there will be comments describing how you can modify the PoC to fit your vulnerability.

*🚨 When extending from an abstract contract, there will be functions which must be defined. Implement any undefined functions with your attack.

---

3️⃣ Once you have completed your attack contract, navigate to the corresponding test file, import your attack contract, and modify the setUp() to replicate any necessary attack preconditions, such as forking from a network, initializing accounts with certain balances, or creating any other conditions which are necessary for the attack. Try to keep your setup as close to mainnet state as possible. The more the setup differs from the mainnet state, the harder it is for projects to verify your claims. Now, you're ready to run your PoC!

Running a PoC 🚀

To use a template, run the following in the console:

forge test -vv --match-path test/[test_name]
