The world of Web3 is dynamic, constantly changing, and rarely stays the same from day to day. With that in mind, ensuring your private information stays safe and secure is never more critical. Here are KIKrr’s top 5 Web3 cybersecurity tools for 2023; keep reading to learn more!
1. WEB3 ANTIVIRUS
As a security extension for web browsers, Web3 Antivirus (W3A) allows users to dive into the Web3 space with the confidence that they’ll be safe. The way W3A does this is it is constantly working in the background, analyzing every transaction, and if anything suspicious appears, the user receives an immediate warning.
These warnings range from flagging malicious code patterns and methods to dangerous signing requests, proxy contracts, poisoning attacks, ice phishing, and more. The true beauty of W3A comes from its ability to uncover all traces of linked contracts, ensuring that nothing malicious is hidden elsewhere in the chain of contracts.
This tool has a range of risk levels, beginning with green being low, yellow being medium, and red being highly risky. Every report produces all relevant information relating to the transaction, smart contract data, and a breakdown of the risk level. After W3A sends users the report, a prompt will appear, allowing the user to decide whether to proceed or block the flagged transaction.
2. TRUSTCHECK
As a critical tool that guards crypto transactions, TrustCheck is a must-have resource for any blockchain or Web3 enthusiasts. TrustCheck uses a Chrome plugin powered by machine learning, with every transaction being sifted through for any possible suspicious code or compromised permissions.
This innovative extension harnesses the power of blocklists and allowlists, ensuring that the verification process for crypto wallets and other assets is secure and streamlined. TrustCheck can search for various scams, such as malicious code patterns, phishing websites, drainers, risky approvals, dangerous signing requests, and more.
3. BLOCKEM
Number three on this list, Blockem is another Chrome extension that works to showcase transaction validation data in real-time, to prevent any possibility of fraud or scams. This cutting-edge tool works diligently to conduct a deep dive analysis of the entire Ethereum network, providing proof to help validate whether the user’s address is interacting with trustworthy websites.
There’s also the option for users to request an in-depth overview of the address’ activities along with data about the first and last transactions and the total number of tokens it contains. The part that makes Blockem so incredible is that it commences a transaction simulation to check whether the user should continue.
4. POCKET UNIVERSE
Pocket Universe is a fantastic browser extension capable of monitoring Web3 transactions and immediately notifying users if anything suspicious appears. The Pocket Universe extension detects fake collections, wallet drainers, phishing websites, and honeypot schemes. The way this tool works is that it runs a transaction on a forked copy of the blockchain and checks the outcome. Once complete, it alerts the user regarding the transaction details and a breakdown of any potential threats.
5. HALBORN
Halborn was founded in 2019 by the innovative minds of Steven Walbroehl and Rob Behnke, who used their vision of a tool to keep blockchain users safe and secure from financial loss. Halborn boasts over 150 clients and has a solid team of 100 members, all eager to fight cyberattacks across the globe. The part that makes this firm so unique is that Halborn is working to grow across the software development lifecycle alongside its clients, providing clients with unique products and services that align with each stage of growth.
