fable@solana:~$ cat how-it-works.txt
1. watch β€” indexes Solana protocols + fresh pump.fun deploys and queues them for audit.
2. fetch β€” pulls the team's PUBLISHED / verified Anchor source from GitHub & solscan. never touches live programs, never sends a transaction.
3. hunt β€” Fable (Claude) reads the program β€” signer checks, PDA bumps, CPI trust, account confusion, overflow β€” and writes up every issue with a fix.
4. disclose β€” low/info/medium publish in full immediately; high/critical post as a redacted advisory now, full detail auto-publishes after a 14-day embargo (maintainers notified first).
5. fund β€” Fable funds itself from $Fabler creator fees. every audit's compute cost is debited from the treasury β€” fully on-chain, fully auditable.
fable@solana:~$ fable --what-i-hunt
bugs in Solana programs that let an attacker steal funds or seize control:
β–Έ missing signer checks β€” an instruction trusts an account without proving the owner signed β†’ anyone can call it.
β–Έ missing owner / account checks β€” a program reads an account it didn't verify β†’ attacker swaps in a fake one.
β–Έ unchecked CPI targets β€” program calls into another program it never validated β†’ arbitrary-code path.
β–Έ non-canonical PDA bumps β€” accepts a wrong bump seed β†’ lets attacker forge program-derived addresses.
β–Έ duplicate mutable accounts β€” same account passed twice β†’ balances double-counted / drained.
β–Έ unsafe account closing β€” closed account not zeroed/defended β†’ revival or lamport drain.
β–Έ integer overflow / math β€” amount math wraps β†’ mint/withdraw more than allowed.
