Workshop: NFTs and How to Steal Them (hands-on)
This workshop is an overview of NFT concepts, related tools and platforms, alongside a guided experience on how to "steal" them. We will cover from a high point of view what constitutes an NFT, and we'll look at some tools/websites to manipulate them at the blockchain level.
We'll leave some time for participants to setup the Metamask wallet. If you want to prepare beforehand, go to https://metamask.io/ and setup the browser plugin in an isolated browser profile.
While you could perform the workshop as a CTF (Capture the Flag) challenge on your own, we'll have a step by step guide that you can follow along or just watch it come to completion. We'll see the actions required on the blockchain to "steal" the NFT while looking at the hints that lead to the required "exploitation" path.
