To spot DeFi backdoors via bytecode checks:
Decompile & Compare: Use tools (EtherVM) to convert bytecode to readable code. Verify against audited source hashes—mismatches signal hidden logic.
Hunt Privilege Risks: Flag functions like selfdestruct, delegatecall, or mutable admin roles with unlimited power.
Storage Analysis: Check if critical variables (e.g., fee rates, owner) can be altered unexpectedly.
Simulate Attacks: Test edge cases (e.g., max withdrawals) via Foundry to uncover fund-drain paths.
Audit Cross-Check: Ensure findings align with third-party reports; unaudited contracts = higher risk.
Automate scans (Slither) but prioritize manual review for obfuscated code. Opt for non-upgradable, time-locked contracts.
