What tools are good at
Static analyzers, fuzzers, symbolic execution, linters, and invariant frameworks can identify known classes of bugs, suspicious patterns, unreachable branches, and edge cases that are hard to enumerate by hand.
Where tools struggle
Tools often miss business-logic failures, flawed economic assumptions, unsafe governance processes, oracle manipulation paths, and cross-chain trust assumptions because these require protocol context.
How CTDSEC combines them
The audit process uses tooling to widen coverage, then manual review to reason about value flow, privileges, invariants, integration behavior, and adversarial scenarios.
What teams should expect
A strong audit report should explain which findings matter, why they matter, how they can be fixed, and which assumptions remain after the code changes.
