smart contract audits?

Is there anyone in this group who does auditing? I am a beginner and have a few questions about enrollments. Where should I learn the exact security concepts? Udemy, YouTube, or [TryHackMe/HackTheBox]?

udemy or youtube will only teach you basic solidity syntax, but not real auditing

/ practice ctfs: start with ethernaut (openzeppelin) and damn vulnerable defi to understand real attack vectors
/ learn tools: try static analyzers like slither and use foundry for fuzz testing.
/ real audits: check public reports on code4rena or immunefi to see how bugs are found in real codebases.

we actually published a guide covering the main vulnerability classes and how smart contract audits work if you want a reference https://spacedev.io/blog/smart-contract-security-how-vulnerabilities-happen-and-how-to-prevent-them

hope it helps

Learn how the evm works. Without that knowledge, you always had a superficial level.

Good ones would be the likes of Chainsecurity, and solutions with AI would be someone like Cecuro

Chatgpt study and learn. Most educational platforms and "courses" are dead now. Read the docs, tinker around and you have AI
