Avg attacker reconnaissance time for peer-class protocols
mETH Protocol'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 #
Attacker wallet reconnaissance time before strike (days, for similar class). No in-sample mETH incident history to derive a protocol-specific reconnaissance window from. Class context: DPRK/Lazarus group reconnaissance periods range from 30 days to 78 days pre-strike (USPD pattern) to 6 months (Drift Protocol, UNC4736 persona build-up pattern). mETH class (Ethereum ETH LST, $535M TVS) is a plausible target class. Gray: no protocol-specific data; class context only.

Methodology #
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.
