  • Skiff: Various Privacy Failures
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Jan 2024
    Disagree, their reputation is tied to their audit quality.

    But I'm pretty sure in this case the scope was bad. Like they coukd have had audits on "Do I use OpenSSL well?" and then misrepresent that all their privacy claims were audited.

    Now it seems like Skiff conveniently didn't allow Trail of Bits to publish their reports, they are usually here: https://github.com/trailofbits/publications/tree/master/revi...

    Disclaimer, I have used Trail of Bits service in the past (and 2 other auditors for an security campaign on a blockchain, cryptography + networking product).

  • The Lisk v4.0 security audit 🔐

    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Nov 2023
    Link to the report: https://github.com/trailofbits/publications/blob/master/revi...

    They seem to not have analysed client-side of PIP itself, but I suppose there isn't anything you could say that isn't already obvious to everyone.

    Audits are mentioned on the Trail of Bits website https://github.com/trailofbits/publications and the Skiff one https://skiff.com/transparency. Skiff has been externally audited 4 times.

    Hi! I'm Skiff's CEO. We've had 3 security audits, including 2 from Trail of Bits - one of the best security auditing firms in the world https://github.com/trailofbits/publications. Skiff Mail is also open-source: https://github.com/skiff-org/skiff-mail as is our whitepaper https://skiff.com/whitepaper We've also been in the news quite a bit: https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/17/23075804/skiff-mail-email-privacy, https://www.wsj.com/articles/encryption-bans-what-is-this-russia-hacking-online-privacy-security-data-signal-whatsapp-emails-protection-11675436242 (I wrote this with our team!), https://techcrunch.com/2023/01/30/russia-skiff-block/, and more, even though we're only a year old. We collect no personally identifying information - not even IP addresses used - no backup emails, phones, etc. - no advertising, and we end-to-end encrypt BOTH email subject + body and don't have any metadata (time sent/received an exception). What can we do to share more of this with more people? We're a younger company but it's so important this is made public.

  • Write a Smart Contract with ChatGPT MetaMask Infura, and Truffle
    3 projects | dev.to | 8 May 2023
    You’ve probably heard that Generative AI has demonstrated the potential to disrupt a huge number of industries and jobs — and web3 is no exception. But how well can ChatGPT create smart contracts? Can using ChatGPT to code smart contracts make you a 10x developer? In this article, we’ll try it out and see. We’ll walk through writing and deploying an Ethereum smart contract using MetaMask, Infura, and Truffle … and we will ask ChatGPT for instructions on how to do everything from the code to the deployment.

    In this article, we’ll explore what makes Linea so exciting. Then, we’ll walk through a tutorial on how to build a dapp on the Linea testnet. Finally, we’ll create our own cryptocurrency on Linea using Solidity, MetaMask, and Truffle: all mature ecosystem tools that are used by blockchain developers to build dapps.
  • The 4 Best dApp Frameworks for First-Time Ethereum Developers
    4 projects | dev.to | 25 Mar 2023
    Truffle is a popular development and testing framework for dApps, both for first time and experienced Ethereum developers. As well as containing a web3.js library, Truffle is simple, user friendly and, with over 56K GitHub users, trusted. To install Truffle you need to have Node, NPM and Python. You can install Truffle via NPM with the command ‘npm install -g truffle.’
  • Advancing dApp development with Hardhat Indexing: A Game-Changer for Ethereum Devs
    3 projects | dev.to | 24 Mar 2023
    The inspiration for the article came from a project I had built a little over a month earlier, for which I wrote a different article. In this initial project, I was actually using a Hardhat local node for my smart contract development. I decided to switch to Truffle for the final article, because it had a more intuitive demo contract, and because the command line tool made it easier to create manual transactions.
  • The power of zero-knowledge proofs - exploring the new ConsenSys zkEVM
    3 projects | dev.to | 9 Mar 2023
    Easy for devs — The zkEVM supports most popular tools out of the box. You can build, test, debug, and deploy your smart contracts with Hardhat, Infura, Truffle, etc. All the tools you use now, you can keep using. And there is already a bridge to move tokens onto and off the network.
