Web3 Penetration Testing: A Practical Guide

This document provides an overview of Web3 penetration testing, explaining why it matters and the components that should be tested (smart contracts, wallets, APIs, infrastructure, cloud, SDKs, and AI-integrated systems). It outlines a practical methodology (scope definition, reconnaissance, exploitation, privilege escalation, and remediation), recommended techniques (threat modeling, code review, dynamic testing, key management assessments, and infrastructure testing), alignment with security standards (OWASP, NIST, ISO, MASVS/MASTG, CVSS), the expected deliverables, and a brief description of CertiK's penetration testing services.
