Resource Addition/Update
Resource Information
Description
EVM bytecode decompiler, disassembler, and selector recovery toolkit for analyzing unverified contracts.
Why should this be added?
The Advanced Topics section had not been substantively updated since May 2026 and contained only two entries. Heimdall fills a clear gap: the list has security analyzers (Slither, Mythril, Aderyn) but no bytecode decompiler/disassembler. It is essential tooling when working with unverified contracts — bytecode-level analysis, selector/function signature recovery.
Jon-Becker/heimdall-rs; the oldheimdall-rs/heimdallorg path now 404sAlso fixes pre-existing alphabetical ordering in the section (Yul Documentation was listed before LearnEVM).

Vetted via the
find-resourcesscouting process (GitHub search + web search + pre-vetted sources walk). Rejected near-misses: KEVM (formal methods research artifact, high barrier, Certora already covers FV for practitioners), EVM Deep Dives series (2022 Substack series, dated), ethereum/execution-specs (protocol spec, not a Solidity dev resource), learn-yul (stale 17 months).By submitting this pull request, I confirm that my contribution is made under the terms of the repository's license.
