Exploit or a crypto exploit/hack describes a way for a 3rd party to extract value from a protocol or person using more technical means (in contrast to social engineering in crypto scams).
Most exploits can be described as malicious, but not all exploits are malicious (see: "Code is law").
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Wallet drain | Victim is socially engineered into approving his wallet funds to be spent by a contract, which then drains the approved tokens from the victims wallet |
| Contract drain | Usually caused by vulnerability in the contracts code, which allows the attacker to drain funds from the contracts address (often leveraging flash loans) |
