I Analyzed 5 Famous Hacked Contracts with AI — Here's What It Found

I fed the vulnerable code patterns from five of the most devastating DeFi hacks into spectr-ai to see what an AI auditor would catch — and what it would miss. The results were both encouraging and humbling. For each hack, I reconstructed the vulnerable code pattern (simplified for clarity), ran it through the AI analysis pipeline, and recorded the findings. No cherry-picking. Here is what happened. 1.
