One of my earliest and most important lessons was about the art of protocol onboarding. Before even touching a single line of code, I learned to ask the right questions: What's the project trying to achieve? What chains will it deploy to? Who are the different actors in the system? These questions aren't just formalities - they're the foundation of a thorough security review.
My first real security review of the PasswordStore protocol was an eye-opening experience. Armed with my new knowledge and tools, I uncovered three distinct vulnerabilities - from critical access control issues to privacy concerns with on-chain data storage. What made this experience particularly valuable wasn't just finding the issues, but learning how to think about their impact.
One of the most transformative aspects of my training has been learning to communicate findings effectively. It's not enough to spot a vulnerability - you need to explain it clearly, demonstrate it conclusively, and suggest practical solutions.
