shanzson/Smart-Contract-Auditor-Tools-and-Techniques
This repo contains a comprehensive list of smart contract auditor tools and techniques that can be utilized by both smart contract auditors and blockchain developers for developing secure smart contracts
A curated reference list of smart contract security tools, techniques, and learning resources maintained by auditor shanzson. Targets people entering or working in the Solidity/EVM security space — auditors, bug hunters, and DeFi developers who want to know what tools exist without spending weeks assembling the list themselves.
Covers the full audit workflow from static analysis (Slither, Semgrep, Aderyn) through fuzzing (Echidna) to formal verification (Halmos, Certora, hevm) — not just the obvious tools. The on-chain monitoring section is unusually complete, listing 14+ services with enough variety to distinguish commercial from open-source options. ZK security gets its own section, which most equivalent lists skip entirely. Actively maintained — last push June 2026, and the AI/agentic security additions show the author is tracking where the field is moving.
It's a flat link dump with almost no commentary — you get a tool name and a URL but no guidance on when to reach for Halmos vs Mythril vs Echidna, which matters a lot if you're choosing a methodology. Many links point to Twitter/X threads, which are notoriously fragile long-term references and several will already be dead or locked behind login walls. No versioning or staleness signal — a tool added in 2022 and one added last month look identical, so you can't tell which recommendations are still current practice vs historical artifacts.
