Awesome

All information was original created by 0xRajeev that he has developed from other public sources. This content is for the Secureum Epoch0 Bootcamp for Smart Contract auditing. The plan is to grow this over time. Pull requests accepted.

Information I would like to add (my wish list):

Please report any errors or rendering issues. Happy to accept PR's that improve upon the content.

The impetus for this project was self-edification as well as providing better accessibility to the content 0xRajeev has produced. Plus, I really wanted to make some cool graphs and play with Obsidian. :)

If you open this in Obsidian you can graph the notes.
