Master Smart Contract Hacking and Auditing

Great question. This is an intensive, practical course designed to build professional smart contract security skills.

The course consists of 2 parts for the most comprehensive learning experience:

Part 1: 119 videos 🎥 13 hours of learning ⏱ 20 exercises 💻

Part 2: 200 videos 🎥 20 hours of learning ⏱ 30 exercises 💻

You also get advanced guest lectures from top professionals on career growth, getting hired by audit firms, and building a private audit practice.

These are some of the chapters that will be covered in the course:

• The EVM in-depth
• Flash Loan Attacks
• Oracle Manipulation Attacks
• ReEntrancy Attacks

You should have basic knowledge of:

• Javascript and Solidity programming language
• How blockchains work

I would suggest learning solidity in a fun way for free by going through a short and interactive CryptoZombies course.

Finally, I recommend reviewing the Bitcoin and Ethereum whitepapers so you can start with stronger context.

Yes. You can pay through Stripe and PayPal.

Yes. We run a private Discord community exclusively for students so you can get support while moving through the course.

You can ask questions, discuss exercises, connect with peers, and interact with the SCH team.

Yes. All lectures and exercises are pre-recorded, so you can move through the material at your own pace. We also run live Q&A sessions to answer questions and help you connect with other professionals.

There will be more information about the live sessions coming up in announcements, so make sure to stay tuned on social media:

• Twitter
• LinkedIn

Completion time depends on your pace and daily schedule. Most students can finish the full curriculum in about 3 months.

If you can study 4-5 hours per workday, you may finish in about a month.

If you prefer a steadier pace at 2-3 hours per day, completion is usually around 1.5-2 months.

The course supports a wide range of skill levels and helps students deepen practical smart contract security knowledge.

It starts with strong fundamentals and also covers advanced topics like flash loans, oracle manipulation, and DAO/governance attacks.

By completing the course, you'll be able to find vulnerabilities, write proof-of-concepts, and apply an attacker's mindset in real assessments. These skills are directly useful in contests and bug bounty programs.

Deep understanding of the course material can substantially improve your readiness for junior smart contract auditor roles. We do not guarantee employment, but the training is built to strengthen real hiring-relevant skills.

It's a fair question — and the answer is nuanced. AI tools are genuinely powerful and will find pattern-matching bugs. But they also hallucinate fixes, miss economic and game-theoretic vulnerabilities, and can't understand protocol context without expert guidance.

The principle is simple: garbage in, garbage out. If you don't understand reentrancy, oracle manipulation, or flash loan mechanics deeply, you can't evaluate whether the AI's output is correct, missed something critical, or created a false sense of security.

The most effective auditors are not replacing expertise with AI — they are directing it. Deep fundamentals turn AI into a reliable force multiplier.

The course is intentionally built around the fundamentals that make AI tools effective. When you deeply understand EVM internals, attack vectors, and DeFi mechanics, you gain the ability to:

• Ask AI the right, precise questions during an audit
• Validate AI findings and instantly spot hallucinations
• Recognize the gaps in AI's coverage that require human judgment
• Build systematic AI-augmented audit workflows

Understanding the fundamentals at depth is exactly what makes AI actually useful — rather than a tool that generates plausible-sounding but dangerous output.

Yes. AI has changed the market, but that increases the value of auditors who can validate findings and reason about protocol risk.

What's happening right now:

• Protocols and DAOs dealing with AI-generated code need human experts who can validate it
• The gap between what AI auditors catch vs. what expert auditors catch is widening — and the market pays the premium
• First movers who combine deep knowledge with AI tools can build a strong competitive edge over the next 3-5 years
• Earning potential for senior AI-augmented auditors remains strong ($300-500+/hr)

The auditors who will be most valuable in 2028 and beyond are those building their fundamentals today.
