denial-of-serviceDenial-of-service attack vectors and prevention patterns for Solidity.
Denial Of Service is an agent skill from ccashwell/evm-cortex. Denial-of-service attack vectors and prevention patterns for Solidity. Use when designing loops, batch operations, withdrawal mechanisms, or any contract that iterates over user-controlled data. Covers unbounded loops, gas limits, griefing, and force-send ETH.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Smart contracts. It works with Solidity. The repository describes itself as: Ethereum protocol engineering squad for AI coding assistants. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f8f3301. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are solidity).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Denial Of Service loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 215 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
The full file from ccashwell/evm-cortex at commit f8f3301, republished under its MIT licence (© ccashwell). 215 words, ~1,694 tokens.
.claude/skills/denial-of-service/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Iterating over arrays that grow with user interaction will eventually exceed the block gas limit.
// VULNERABLE: array grows unboundedly
address[] public stakers;
function distributeRewards() external {
// If stakers.length > ~1500, this exceeds block gas limit
for (uint256 i; i < stakers.length; ++i) {

}
}// Users claim their own rewards — no unbounded iteration

_sendReward(stakers[i]);
unchecked { ++i; }
}
lastProcessedIndex = end;
if (end == stakers.length) {
lastProcessedIndex = 0; // reset for next round
emit DistributionComplete();
}
}A single failing external call in a loop blocks all subsequent operations.
// VULNERABLE: one failed transfer blocks all
function distributeAll(address[] calldata recipients, uint256[] calldata amounts) external {
for (uint256 i; i < recipients.length; ++i) {
IERC20(token).safeTransfer(recipients[i], amounts[i]); // if one reverts, all fail
}
}
// FIXED: record failures, continue processing
function distributeAll(address[] calldata recipients, uint256[] calldata amounts) external {
for (uint256 i; i < recipients.length;) {
try IERC20(token).transfer(recipients[i], amounts[i]) returns (bool success) {
if (!success) {
pendingClaims[recipients[i]] += amounts[i];
emit DistributionFailed(recipients[i], amounts[i]);
}
} catch {
pendingClaims[recipients[i]] += amounts[i];
emit DistributionFailed(recipients[i], amounts[i]);
}
unchecked { ++i; }
}
}Contracts that don't accept ETH (no receive() or fallback()) will cause call to revert, blocking push-based distributions.
// VULNERABLE: recipient can be a contract that reverts on receive
function payWinner(address winner) external {
(bool success,) = winner.call{value: prize}("");
require(success); // blocks if winner is a contract that reverts
}
// FIXED: pull pattern
mapping(address => uint256) public claimable;
function recordWinner(address winner) external onlyOwner {
claimable[winner] += prize;
emit WinnerRecorded(winner, prize);
}
function claim() external {
uint256 amount = claimable[msg.sender];
if (amount == 0) revert NothingToClaim();
claimable[msg.sender] = 0;
(bool success,) = msg.sender.call{value: amount}("");
if (!success) revert TransferFailed();
}Functions that approach the block gas limit become uncallable.
// Gas estimation per operation:
// SLOAD (cold): 2,100 gas
// SLOAD (warm): 100 gas
// SSTORE (cold): 20,000 gas (new value)
// SSTORE (warm): 2,900 gas
// External call: 2,600 gas (cold account)
// ETH transfer: 9,000 gas (with value)
// ERC-20 transfer: ~50,000 gas
// Block gas limit: ~30M gas (mainnet)
// Safe iteration: ~300-600 operations per transaction
// Always test with forge gas reportsAttackers who can waste protocol gas or block operations without direct profit.
// VULNERABLE: attacker creates many small positions to inflate loop iterations
function liquidateAll() external {
for (uint256 i; i < positions.length; ++i) {
if (isLiquidatable(positions[i])) {
_liquidate(positions[i]);
}
}
}
// DEFENSE: liquidate specific positions by ID
function liquidate(uint256[] calldata positionIds) external {
for (uint256 i; i < positionIds.length;) {
if (!isLiquidatable(positionIds[i])) revert NotLiquidatable(positionIds[i]);
_liquidate(positionIds[i]);
unchecked { ++i; }
}
}uint256 public constant MIN_DEPOSIT = 0.01 ether;
function deposit() external payable {
if (msg.value < MIN_DEPOSIT) revert BelowMinimum(msg.value, MIN_DEPOSIT);
// prevents dust position griefing
}A contract can receive ETH via selfdestruct(target) even without receive() or fallback(). Never rely on address(this).balance for accounting.
// VULNERABLE: invariant relies on balance
function invariantCheck() external view {
require(address(this).balance == totalDeposited); // can be broken by force-send
}
// FIXED: track deposits explicitly
uint256 public totalDeposited;
function deposit() external payable {
totalDeposited += msg.value;
}
function invariantCheck() external view {
require(totalDeposited >= totalWithdrawn);
}Note: Post-Dencun (EIP-6780), selfdestruct only sends ETH if called in the same transaction as contract creation.
A malicious contract can return a massive returndata, causing the caller to spend gas copying it.
// VULNERABLE: copies all return data
(bool success, bytes memory data) = target.call(payload);
// SAFER: limit return data copy
(bool success,) = target.call(payload);
// Only copy return data if you need it and know the expected sizeaddress(this).balance for accounting© ccashwell, MIT. Rendered from Markdown: HTML in the file is shown as text, images as links, and headings moved down two levels. Raw file

Denial-of-service attack vectors and prevention patterns for Solidity. Denial Of Service is an agent skill from ccashwell/evm-cortex. Denial-of-service attack vectors and prevention patterns for Solidity.
Denial Of Service fits situations like: designing loops; batch operations; withdrawal mechanisms; any contract that iterates over user-controlled data.
Run `npx skills add ccashwell/evm-cortex --skill denial-of-service -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/denial-of-service in ccashwell/evm-cortex) into .claude/skills/denial-of-service in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add ccashwell/evm-cortex --skill denial-of-service -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/denial-of-service in ccashwell/evm-cortex) into .agents/skills/denial-of-service in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ccashwell/evm-cortex --skill denial-of-service -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/denial-of-service, .gemini/skills/denial-of-service, .github/skills/denial-of-service and .opencode/skills/denial-of-service in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Denial Of Service is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Denial Of Service is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
