Quarkslab completes the first public third-party audit of Bitcoin Core: no major vulnerabilities found.
The cybersecurity company Quarkslab has completed its first public third-party security audit of the Bitcoin core codebase. The Bitcoin core codebase is the open source reference implementation that supports the Bitcoin network, containing full node clients, the graphical user interface (GUI), and embedded wallets.
According to the announcement released on Wednesday, this four-month assessment is funded by the non-profit organization Brink, which supports the development of Open Source Bitcoin protocol, and coordinated by the Open Source Technology Improvement Fund (OSTIF). The assessment focuses on the peer-to-peer network layer (the main attack surface of the network) and related components, including memory pool management, chain state, transaction verification, and consensus logic.
