Mythril is a security analysis tool for EVM bytecode. It detects security vulnerabilities in smart contracts built for Ethereum, Hedera, Quorum, Vechain, Roostock, Tron and other EVM-compatible blockchains. It uses symbolic execution, SMT solving and taint analysis to detect a variety of security vulnerabilities. It's also used (in combination with other tools and techniques) in the [MythX](https://mythx.io) security analysis platform.

If you are a smart contract developer, we recommend using [MythX tools](https://github.com/b-mueller/awesome-mythx-smart-contract-security-tools) which are optimized for usability and cover a wider range of security issues.

## Installation and setup

Get it with [Docker](https://www.docker.com):

```bash
$ docker pull mythril/myth
```

Install from Pypi:

```bash
$ pip3 install mythril
```

See the [docs](https://mythril-classic.readthedocs.io/en/master/installation.html) for more detailed instructions. 

## Usage

Run:

```
$ myth analyze <solidity-file>
```

Or:

```
$ myth analyze -a <contract-address>
```

Specify the maximum number of transaction to explore with `-t <number>`. You can also set a timeout with `--execution-timeout <seconds>`. Example ([source code](https://gist.github.com/b-mueller/2b251297ce88aa7628680f50f177a81a#file-killbilly-sol)):

```
> myth a killbilly.sol -t 3
==== Unprotected Selfdestruct ====

The contract can be killed by anyone.
Anyone can kill this contract and withdraw its balance to an arbitrary address.

Instructions for using Mythril are found on the [docs](https://mythril-classic.readthedocs.io/en/master/). 

For support or general discussions please join the Mythril community on [Discord](https://discord.gg/E3YrVtG).

## Building the Documentation
Mythril's documentation is contained in the `docs` folder and is published to [Read the Docs](https://mythril-classic.readthedocs.io/en/develop/). It is based on Sphinx and can be built using the Makefile contained in the subdirectory:

```
cd docs
make html
```

This will create a `build` output directory containing the HTML output. Alternatively, PDF documentation can be built with `make latexpdf`. The available output format options can be seen with `make help`.

## Vulnerability Remediation

Visit the [Smart Contract Vulnerability Classification Registry](https://swcregistry.io/) to find detailed information and remediation guidance for the vulnerabilities reported.
