Abstract

In recent years, the second-generation blockchain platforms and applications represented by smart contracts have seen explosive growth, but frequent smart contract vulnerability incidents have seriously threatened the ecological security of blockchain. In view of the low efficiency of code audit based on expert experience, it is important to develop a general automation tool to mine smart contract vulnerabilities. In the beginning, the security threats of smart contracts should be investigated and analyzed, and many smart contract vulnerabilities and attack modes that occur frequently, such as code reentrant, access control, integer overflow, etc., were summarized. Then, the technology method of smart contract vulnerability detection conforming to The Times is obtained, and the current samples of smart contract vulnerability detection are summarized. The current investigation includes too few types of vulnerabilities, with a variety of inaccuracies and deviations. It is only carried out through manual audit. Through these methods, according to the state of including after put forward the general ideas of this kind of situation, and puts forward a kind of symbolic execution auxiliary fuzzy test framework, can reduce the symbolic execution channel congestion and fuzzy test code coverage degree is too little, so as to improve test efficiency, easy to dig holes of large and medium-sized intelligent contracts quality improvement.
