you had me at hell machine

I don't know why people would do it. Mental illness! Ahem defi.

greed

Wth is tx poisoning?

A nice donation for all of us.

MuH yIeLd! MYyyyy YyyyIEeeeeeLD! Gaaahh...😵

This is what i dug up about poisoned transactions:

Transaction poisoning refers to an attack on the Ethereum network where a malicious actor manipulates data within a transaction to cause unintended consequences. This can include altering the recipient address or changing the value of the transaction, effectively stealing funds or causing other disruptions.

Let's consider a vulnerable smart contract that uses an unsafe method for transferring funds:

pragma solidity ^0.6.0;

contract VulnerableContract {

function sendEth(address payable recipient) public {

// Unsafe method: directly sending Ether without validating the recipient's balance or safeTransfer logic

recipient.transfer(msg.value);

}

}

In this example, the 'sendEth' function of the 'VulnerableContract' is susceptible to a transaction poisoning attack. If an attacker were to modify the recipient address and send a poisoned transaction with a large amount, the contract would unknowingly transfer funds to the wrong address, leaving users like you at risk of losing their funds.

Here's an example of how an attacker could exploit the vulnerable 'sendEth' function in our previous example:

pragma solidity ^0.6.0; // Exploit Code

contract ExploitContract {

address public hacker; // Store the hacker's address as a public variable

constructor() public {

hacker = 0xabcdef123; // Set the hacker's address to the contract when it's deployed

}

function sendEth(address payable recipient) public {

// Unsafe method: directly sending Ether without validating the recipient's balance or safeTransfer logic

recipient.transfer(msg.value);

// Poisoned transaction with modified recipient and amount

ExploitContract(hacker).sendEth(0xfakeaddress456);

}

}

In this example, an attacker could deploy their own contract (ExploitContract) and pass it as a parameter when deploying the vulnerable 'VulnerableContract'. By doing so, the hacker can manipulate the 'sendEth' function within the 'VulnerableContract', effectively stealing funds from legitimate users.

am not a solidity guy but this is what I found on quick dig

oh look. rotating blades. I think I’ll stick my tongue in it.

Don't worry it's ETH maybe the transaction could be reversed

'smart contracts' ladies and gentlemen

This makes me happy, beyond words! 🧡

Can happen on BTC main chain also. Be careful with copy and paste. Check the entire address before hitting send on any substantial transactions. If you receive anonymous small transactions from anybody, check the address and delete from your transactions list.

Well deserved tbh

I dont understand. What do you mean?

maybe you have a bad day today.

but imagine losing $68M due "transaction poisoning" 🥴

Best decision I've made since being involved with BTC was dumping me ETH and going into BTC

Hell machine as in WBTC?

And I’ve never heard of address poisoning. I assume it’s when you trick end user to send to non BTC address?

To be fair tho. I didn’t realize how hellish it was until i started understanding the primitives; the underlying tech. I can see how newbies talk themselves into this hell fuck.

Aren’t the fundamentals of transaction poisoning applicable to btc?
