A Historical Collection of Reentrancy Attacks

As part of my effort to prevent reentrancy attacks at the (Solidity) language level, I compiled a list of known reentrancy attacks.

A chronological and (hopefully) complete list of reentrancy attacks to date:

This list can also be found in my repository here.

I also think I found the first (10 Jun 2016) reentrancy attack contract available on GitHub here. This contract was built by Peter Vessenes who was raising the issue to the Solidity/DAO team.

Finally, for anyone interested in the history behind the first reentrancy attack I really recommend checking out issue 1 in my reentrancy-attacks list repo; awesome historical insights!

I try my best to find internet archive links to all relevant URLs in order to preserve history!
