Avg attacker reconnaissance time for peer-class protocols
PancakeSwap'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 #
P2 analytical factor (class-average reconnaissance time). DEX-targeting attacks show variable reconnaissance periods. The BCE/USDT Mar 2025 attack appears to have been short-cycle (malicious contracts deployed for specific interaction, no documented extended reconnaissance). The 2021 DNS hijack was a direct attack. No USPD-style 78-day reconnaissance pattern reported for PancakeSwap core AMM in public sources.
