A smart contract security audit follows a 5-step workflow: Slither security scanning, Echidna and Manticore feature validation, visual inspection, documentation, and manual review to ensure best practices and standards compliance.

Finding common vulnerabilities in Solidity smart contracts requires automated security scanning with Slither, followed by feature validation for upgradeability and ERC conformance, and manual review of DeFi interactions and cryptography.

Yes, this secure workflow checks ERC conformance and token integration during the feature validation step, verifying upgradeability and protocol compatibility before proceeding to visual inspection and manual security review.

Yes, this 5-step smart contract security workflow requires Slither, Echidna, and Manticore installed, as these tools execute the automated vulnerability scanning, feature validation, and property testing across your Solidity codebase.

Generating visual security diagrams for Solidity inheritance, functions, and state variables is the third step of this workflow, using custom analysis tools to visually inspect the contract structure after automated scanning.

Risks not caught by automated Slither scans include privacy issues, front-running risks, cryptography flaws, and DeFi interactions, which require the final manual review step of this comprehensive security workflow.
