Symbolic execution toolkit for Ethereum smart-contracts

Project description

# Optik

Optik is a set of symbolic execution tools that assist smart contract fuzzers, letting them run in a _hybrid_ mode. Optik couples [Echidna](https://github.com/crytic/echidna), our smart contract fuzzer, with the [Maat](https://github.com/trailofbits/maat) symbolic executor that replays the fuzzing corpus and extends it with new inputs that increase coverage.

#### Current limitations

Optik is a work in progress and should not be used for real audits yet. Current limitations include:

  • Symbolic KECCAK hashes are not supported

  • CREATE2, CALLCODE, and DELEGATECALL are not yet supported

  • Gas is not taken into account

  • Some echidna options are not yet supported (see hybrid-echidna -h)

## Hybrid Echidna

Optik allows to run the [Echidna](https://github.com/crytic/echidna) smart-contract fuzzer in _hybrid_ mode. It basically couples Echidna with the [Maat](https://github.com/trailofbits/maat) symbolic executor that replays the Echidna corpus and extends it with new inputs that increase coverage.

hybrid-echidna starts with several <i>incremental seeding</i> steps, where it seeds the corpus with short transactions sequences obtained by [Slither](https://github.com/crytic/slither)’s dataflow analysis, and uses symbolic execution more intensely to solve new inputs. The sequence length is incremented at each seeding step. Once it reaches a certain length threshold, hybrid-echidna falls back into its normal mode, starts to limit the number of symbolic inputs to solve, and stops using dataflow analysis for seeding the corpus.

### Usage

Hybrid echidna can be used seamlessly in place of regular Echidna by replacing echidna-test with hybrid-echidna in your Echidna command line. For example:

` hybrid-echidna MyContract.sol --test-mode assertion --corpus-dir /tmp/test --contract MyContract `

Additionnal options are available in hybrid mode to control hybrid-echidna’s behaviour:

  • –max-iters: maximum number of fuzzing iterations to perform (one iteration is one Echidna campaign + one symbolic executor run on the corpus)

  • –solver-timeout: maximum time in milliseconds to spend solving each possible new input

  • –incremental-threshold: number of initial incremental seeding steps to perform

  • –no-incremental: skip initial incremental seeding

  • –cov-mode: type of coverage to increase when solving new inputs. Most coverage modes are implemented for experimental purposes. Unless you are developing/hacking on Optik, we recommend to keep the default mode

Debugging, logging and terminal display:

  • –debug: add debugging information to the log output

  • –logs: write logs to a given file (or stdout)

  • –no-display: disable the graphical terminal display

## Installation

For a quick installation, run:

`console python3 -m pip install optik-tools `

To keep up with the latest features and fixes, install Optik from its master branch:

`console git clone https://github.com/crytic/optik && cd optik python3 -m pip install . `

You can also run it from Docker:

`console git clone https://github.com/crytic/optik && cd optik docker build -t crytic/optik . docker run -it --rm --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/workdir crytic/optik # This runs the Docker container, mounting the local directory into /workdir `
