Attacker wallet pre-strike probe (low-gas failing txs)
Axelar Network's assessment for RD-F-159 — scored gray on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Applicable: probing Axelar EVM gateway with low-gas failing transactions is a reconnaissance signal. V2-deferred signal; requires mempool listener + threat-actor cluster list. No public mempool probe report against Axelar identified. The 2024 chain-halt vulnerability (proposal 256) was disclosed via Immunefi as a legitimate whitehat bounty — no attacker probe pattern associated.

Methodology #
Detect whether a wallet in a threat-actor cluster is sending low-gas or intentionally-failing transactions to this protocol (pre-strike reconnaissance pattern).
