Avg attacker reconnaissance time for peer-class protocols
Kinetiq's assessment for RD-F-163 — scored gray on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Analytic benchmark factor. Requires curator-maintained data on reconnaissance time distributions for peer-class LST protocols. The LST-class DPRK reconnaissance pattern (Drift Protocol = 6-month pre-strike social engineering) suggests 30–278 day reconnaissance windows. No Kinetiq-specific reconnaissance activity detected in publicly accessible HyperEVMScan data for core contracts. Score gray pending curator benchmark table for LST-class protocols.

Report the average number of days of attacker reconnaissance activity before a strike on peer-class protocols (lending/DEX/bridge/perps), sourced from the hack database.
