Documentation

README

Audit Prep Assistant

Purpose

Helps prepare for a security review using Trail of Bits' checklist. A well-prepared codebase makes the review process smoother and more effective.

Use this: 1-2 weeks before your security audit

The Preparation Process

Step 1: Set Review Goals

Helps define what you want from the review:

Key Questions:

  • What's the overall security level you're aiming for?
  • What areas concern you most?
    • Previous audit issues?
    • Complex components?
    • Fragile parts?
  • What's the worst-case scenario for your project?

Documents goals to share with the assessment team.

Step 2: Resolve Easy Issues

Runs static analysis and helps fix low-hanging fruit:

Run Static Analysis:

For Solidity:
