Practical overview
When it fits
Use Oswar when researching Web3 attack patterns or consulting mitigation guidance, and when proposing community updates to its reference.
Who it is for
- Web3 developers researching threats relevant to blockchain platforms or dApps.
- Auditors and security researchers consulting categorized attack and vulnerability information.
- Community contributors proposing new entries or edits through GitHub.
Documented uses
- Browse attack categories to locate a relevant vulnerability.
- Understand the techniques and tactics associated with an attack.
- Consult mitigation guidance for a documented threat.
- Propose a new attack entry or correct existing content through a GitHub pull request.
Requirements & limits
The reference is accessible on the web, and its public GitHub repository specifies an Apache-2.0 license. Contributions are made through GitHub pull requests.
- The material is organized as a browsable catalog: users navigate from an attack category to a specific vulnerability.
- The project describes entries as including attacker techniques and tactics as well as mitigation strategies.
- The documented contribution process uses GitHub edits and pull requests for review.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
