Wallet Security Auditor

Overview

Security analysis tool for cryptocurrency wallets. Scans ERC20 token approvals, analyzes transaction patterns, calculates security risk scores, and provides actionable recommendations to improve wallet security.

Important: This is a read-only analysis tool. It does NOT execute transactions, manage private keys, or perform revocations.

Prerequisites

Before using this skill, ensure you have:

• Python 3.8+ with requests library installed
• Optional: ETHERSCAN_API_KEY environment variable for higher rate limits
• Network access to blockchain RPC endpoints (public RPCs included)
• Target wallet address (hex format, 0x...)

Instructions

1. List Token Approvals

Scan wallet for all active ERC20 token approvals:

cd {baseDir}/scripts
python wallet_auditor.py approvals <address> --chain <chain>

Options:

• --chain: ethereum, bsc, polygon, arbitrum, optimism, base (default: ethereum)
• --unlimited: Show only unlimited approvals
• --verbose: Detailed output

2. Full Security Scan

Comprehensive security analysis including approvals, transaction history, and patterns:

python wallet_auditor.py scan <address> --verbose

Analyzes:

• Active token approvals (unlimited, risky)
• Transaction history patterns
• Contract interactions (verified vs unverified)
• Suspicious activity detection

3. Calculate Security Score

Get weighted security risk score (0-100, higher = safer):

python wallet_auditor.py score <address>
python wallet_auditor.py score <address> --json  # JSON output

Score components:

• Approvals (40%): Unlimited, risky, stale approvals
• Interactions (30%): Contract verification, flagged addresses
• Patterns (20%): Transaction frequency, diversity
• Age (10%): Wallet maturity

Risk levels:

• 90-100: SAFE
• 70-89: LOW
• 50-69: MEDIUM
• 30-49: HIGH
• 0-29: CRITICAL

4. Analyze Transaction History

Review recent contract interactions and patterns:

python wallet_auditor.py history <address> --days 30

Detects:

• Rapid approval patterns
• Interaction bursts (many contracts in short time)
• High failure rates
• Dust attacks

5. Generate Revoke List

Get prioritized list of approvals to revoke:

python wallet_auditor.py revoke-list <address>

Flags:

• Unlimited approvals to unknown contracts
• Risky/flagged spenders
• Stale approvals (>6 months)

6. Generate Full Report

Create comprehensive security audit report:

python wallet_auditor.py report <address> --output report.txt
python wallet_auditor.py report <address> --json  # JSON format

7. List Supported Chains

python wallet_auditor.py chains

Output

Approval Summary

• Total active approvals count
• Unlimited approvals flagged
• Risky approvals with severity
• Unique spenders and tokens

Risk Factors

• [CRITICAL] Unlimited approval to unknown contract
• [HIGH] Approval to flagged contract
• [MEDIUM] Many unlimited approvals (>5)
• [LOW] Interaction with unverified contract

Recommendations

• Priority 1: Revoke risky approvals immediately
• Priority 2: Review unnecessary unlimited approvals
• Priority 3: Audit all approvals periodically

Error Handling

See {baseDir}/references/errors.md for comprehensive error handling:

Error	Cause	Solution
Address validation failed	Invalid format	Use 0x + 40 hex characters
RPC timeout	Node unresponsive	Retry or use different RPC
Rate limited	Too many requests	Add ETHERSCAN_API_KEY
No approvals found	Wallet clean	Normal - no action needed

Examples

See {baseDir}/references/examples.md for detailed examples.
