Question

Code running on this platform is analyzed by the Slither tool made by Trail of Bits, which detects vulnerabilities like using the callcode or delegatecall functions with a user-controlled address. The selfdestruct function can be used to perform a “force feeding” attack on this platform. In 2016, a hacker used a default fallback function to recursively call a “split” function in a prominent re-entrancy (-5[1])attack targeting an organization on this platform. (15[1])Many security issues with this platform are caused by its use of the terrible programming language (*) Solidity. After The DAO was attacked (10[1])and fifty million dollars were siphoned off, this platform decided to hard fork into a version with the hack reversed and a “Classic” version. (10[1])For 10 points, name this smart contract and blockchain platform founded by Vitalik Buterin, (10[1])which has the second largest (10[1])cryptocurrency after Bitcoin. ■END■

ANSWER: Ethereum [accept Ethereum Virtual Machine or EVM; accept Solidity before “Solidity”; prompt on “blockchain” or “smart contracts” with “what is the name of the specific platform?”; reject “Ether”]
