DAO Attack

This is a 12 minute presentation on The DAO attack for UVic's SENG 360 class.

Live demo

We assume that the audience is technically savvy but unfamiliar with blockchain technology - specifically Ethereum.

This presentation aims to address the following points:

• What is the nature of the vulnerability?
• How can an attacker exploit it?
• What controls can mitigate this vulnerability?
• How to learn more about this vulnerability? (By providing reference to information resources)

Deck Dev

The slides are written in Markdown and can be edited in the Deck/presentation/markdown folder. Any renames or file additions must be reflected accordingly in the Deck/presentation/markdown/index.js file.

To run the dev server locally with Yarn/NPM and NodeJS:

• Clone repo
• cd into Deck/
• yarn or npm install
• npm run dev

The presentation will run at localhost:8080. Updates to project files will trigger a rebuild, and changes will be reflected in browser.

Deployment

The presentation is served by GitHub Pages and GitHub Pages dictates that static files be served from the /docs folder at the root of the repository.

• npm run predeploy to build to /docs
• git add /docs
• git commit -m "deploy updated presentation $(date +"%r") on $(date +"%Y/%m/%d")"
• git push origin master
