An Analysis Tool for Smart Contracts
A container with the dependencies set up can be found here.
To open the container, install docker and run:
docker pull luongnguyen/oyente && docker run -i -t luongnguyen/oyente
To evaluate the greeter contract inside the container, run:
cd /oyente/oyente && python oyente.py -s greeter.sol
and you are done!
Note - If need the version of Oyente referred to in the paper, run the container from here
To run the web interface, execute
docker run -w /oyente/web -p 3000:3000 oyente:latest ./bin/rails server
docker build -t oyente .
docker run -it -p 3000:3000 -e "OYENTE=/oyente/oyente" oyente:latest
Open a web browser to http:https://localhost:3000
for the graphical interface.
Execute a python virtualenv
python -m virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
Install Oyente via pip:
$ pip2 install oyente
Dependencies:
The following require a Linux system to fufill. macOS instructions forthcoming.
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum

#evaluate a local solidity contract
python oyente.py -s <contract filename>
#evaluate a local solidity with option -a to verify assertions in the contract
python oyente.py -a -s <contract filename>
#evaluate a local evm contract
python oyente.py -s <contract filename> -b
#evaluate a remote contract
python oyente.py -ru https://gist.githubusercontent.com/loiluu/d0eb34d473e421df12b38c12a7423a61/raw/2415b3fb782f5d286777e0bcebc57812ce3786da/puzzle.sol
And that's it! Run python oyente.py --help
for a list of options.
The accompanying paper explaining the bugs detected by the tool can be found here.
A collection of the utilities that were developed for the paper are in misc_utils
. Use them at your own risk - they have mostly been disposable.
generate-graphs.py
- Contains a number of functions to get statistics from contracts.get_source.py
- The get_contract_code function can be used to retrieve contract source from EtherScantransaction_scrape.py
- Contains functions to retrieve up-to-date transaction information for a particular contract.
Note: This is an improved version of the tool used for the paper. Benchmarks are not for direct comparison.
To run the benchmarks, it is best to use the docker container as it includes the blockchain snapshot necessary.
In the container, run batch_run.py
after activating the virtualenv. Results are in results.json
once the benchmark completes.
The benchmarks take a long time and a lot of RAM in any but the largest of clusters, beware.
Some analytics regarding the number of contracts tested, number of contracts analysed etc. is collected when running this benchmark.
