Mythril
Mythril is a reverse engineering and bug hunting framework for the Ethereum blockchain.
Installation and setup
Install from Pypi:
$ pip install mythril
Or, clone the GitHub repo to install the newest master branch:
$ git clone https://github.com/b-mueller/mythril/
$ cd mythril
$ python setup.py install
Note that Mythril requires Python 3.5 to work.
Command line usage
The Mythril command line tool (aptly named myth
) allows you to conveniently access most of Mythril's functionality.
Input formats
Mythril can handle various sources and input formats, including bytecode, addresses of contracts on the blockchain, and Solidity source code files.
Working with on-chain contracts
To pull contracts from the blockchain you need an Ethereum node that is synced with the network. By default, Mythril will query a local node via RPC. Alternatively, you can connect to a remote service such as INFURA:
$ myth --rpchost=mainnet.infura.io/{API-KEY} --rpcport=443 --rpctls=True (... etc ...)
The recommended way is to use go-ethereum. Start your local node as follows:
$ geth --rpc --rpcapi eth,debug --syncmode fast
Working with Solidity files
In order to work with Solidity source code files, the solc command line compiler needs to be installed and in path. You can then provide the source file(s) as positional arguments, e.g.:
$ myth -g ./graph.html myContract.sol
Disassembler
Use the -d
flag to disassemble code. The disassembler accepts a bytecode string or a contract address as its input.
$ myth -d -c "0x6060"
0 PUSH1 0x60
Specifying an address via -a ADDRESS
will download the contract code from your node. Mythril will try to resolve function names using the signatures in database/signature.json
:
$ myth -d -a "0x2a0c0dbecc7e4d658f48e01e3fa353f44050c208"
0 PUSH1 0x60
2 PUSH1 0x40
4 MSTORE
(...)
1135 - FUNCTION safeAdd(uint256,uint256) -
1136 CALLVALUE
1137 ISZERO
Control flow graph
Mythril integrates the LASER symbolic virtual machine. Right now, this is mainly used for CFG generation. The -g FILENAME
option generates an interactive jsViz graph:
$ myth -g ./graph.html -a "0xFa52274DD61E1643d2205169732f29114BC240b3"
The "bounce" effect, while awesome (and thus enabled by default), sometimes messes up the graph layout. Try adding the --enable-physics
flag for a very entertaining "bounce" effect that unfortunately completely destroys usability.
Contract search
Mythril builds its own contract database to enable fast search operations. This is to enable operations like those described in the legendary "Mitch Brenner" blog post in seconds minutes instead of days. Unfortunately, the initial sync process is slow. You don't need to sync the whole blockchain right away though: If you abort the syncing process with ctrl+c
, it will be auto-resumed the next time you run the --init-db
command.
$ myth --init-db
Starting synchronization from latest block: 4323706
Processing block 4323000, 3 individual contracts in database
(...)
The default behavior is to only sync contracts with a non-zero balance. You can disable this behavior with the --sync-all
flag, but be aware that this will result in a huge (as in: dozens of GB) database.
Searching from the command line
The search feature allows you to find contract instances that contain specific function calls and opcode sequences. It supports simple boolean expressions, such as:
$ myth --search "func#changeMultisig(address)#"
$ myth --search "code#PUSH1 0x50,POP#"
$ myth --search "func#changeMultisig(address)# and code#PUSH1 0x50#"
Finding cross-references
It is often useful to find other contracts referenced by a particular contract. E.g.:
$ myth --search "code#DELEGATECALL#"
Matched contract with code hash 07459966443977122e639cbf7804c446
Address: 0x76799f77587738bfeef09452df215b63d2cfb08a, balance: 1000000000000000
$ myth --xrefs -a 0x76799f77587738bfeef09452df215b63d2cfb08a

JSON RPC library is adapted from ethjsonrpc (it doesn't seem to be maintained anymore, and I needed to make some changes to it).
-
The signature data in
signatures.json
has been obtained from the Ethereum Function Signature Database.
Disclaimer: Act responsibly!
The purpose of project is to aid discovery of vulnerable smart contracts on the Ethereum mainnet and support research for novel security flaws. If you do find an exploitable issue or vulnerable contract instances, please do the right thing. Also, note that vulnerability branding ("etherbleed", "chainshock",...) is highly discouraged as it will annoy the author and others in the security community.
