Understanding Gradient DescentMachine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) relies heavily on this very intuitive differentiation-based algorithm called gradient descent. It gets us closer to our desired minima or maxima by starting with a value and adjusting that value based on the change of our gradient. In this article you'll learn to understand what is gradient descent and all the component apart of it. And then explore a few modifications of it from simple to advanced to solidify your understanding!

Swimming Safely In The Public Mempool: MEV Smart Contract Obfuscation TechniquesIn blockchain, generalized frontrunners in MEV abuse the well-known standards of smart contract, therefore obfuscation techniques are essential for MEV operators. Over the past year I've created some zero-day techniques for avoiding these sharks in the mempool of Ethereum and all other existing blockchains in web3. Whether you're a semi-vet like DeGatchi or are just starting in the the MEV world of ETH, you are able to deploy these obfuscation techniques on day 1 to potentially gain an edge on your competition. Godspeed, anon!

Smart Contract Obfuscation TechniquesHow do you prevent MEV frontrunners from stealing your transactions, copying your smart contracts and understanding your strategies built into your smart contracts on-chain? Let me take you into the depths of the dark forest, where bleeding-edge smart contract bytecode obfuscation techniques are developed to keep your secrets hidden for longer.

A Low-Level Guide To Solidity's Storage ManagementLearn how the EVMs storage system works by interacting with it through smart contracts using solidity's inline assembly/yul, taking you a step closer to bridging the gap between high and low level programming! We'll walkthrough each encounter you will face by learning deal with them using bitwise operations alongside SLOAD and SSTORE to control the EVMs storage at will.

Reversing The EVM: Raw CalldataYou may have have wondered how to decipher and read evm calldata, then attempted to read the transaction calldata of an Ethereum smart contract, only to become confused at a certain point. The EVM (and other L1 forks) encode and decode calldata in a specific way for static and dynamic types, which can be initially confusing. In this article, we will delve into the encoding sequence of calldata so that you can comprehend any verified or unverified smart contract transactions and understand the bytes. By doing so, I hope to empower you to create your own raw calldata.

Speedrunning Web3 Bug HuntsSo you've decided to particpate in bug bounties as bug hunter and are spending hours, searching, hoping to find a bug to claim your basket of gold coins...but to sometimes no avail. How do the high ranking hunters find vulnerabilities in such short amounts of time? Grab your spear, anon. We're about to explore the jungle!

Memware: Generalised FrontrunnersIf there was malware native to crypto, it would be generalised frontrunners (GFs). These pesky critters analyse each transaction that enters the mempool, and like sharks, detecting vulnerable pending transactions, striking when they observe a profitable transaction. In this article we'll unravel, step-by-step, how one of these sophiscated creatures work in hopes to shed light on the depths of the mempool.
