**What Is The Bug Deep Dive Series**

In the first place, check out the [post](/the-contest-academy/introducing-the-contest-academy) on my introduction, if you don't know who I am (how would you end up here though? 😅).

The Bug Deep Dive series is the resource for studying for audit contests. Until now, the answer to "how do I study for audit contests?" was a blunt *read reports*, which is not much help. This series exists to fix that, collecting the best findings, curated by me (still don't know me? Read the introduction [post](/the-contest-academy/introducing-the-contest-academy)).


**What Are The Advantages Over Audit Reports**

**Complementary Resources**

Audit reports are not written to teach, so for newcomers it can be hard to follow what is going on. The deep dives here add whatever **resources** are needed to understand the issue properly.

**Alpha**

Wherever possible I add the key insight behind the finding: how to find similar bugs, what led the author to it, why it is a good bug, what most people miss, how to frame it well, and which judging rules to keep in mind.

**When Will They Be Posted**

I intend to post a bug each day, in the UTC afternoon, so you know when to check The Contest Academy and X to engage with it and ask questions!

**How Can I Ask Questions**

The deep dives are published on X at around the same time, so you can ask questions in the thread and I will help as much as I can.

Stay tuned!
