Avg attacker reconnaissance time for peer-class protocols
Jupiter's assessment for RD-F-163 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Class-level statistic from hack DB. Jupiter Perps is structurally similar to Drift Protocol (Solana-native perpetuals DEX). Drift Protocol Apr 2026 DPRK exploit: 6-month reconnaissance/persona-building phase before $285M exploit. This establishes 78–180 days as a plausible recon timeline for DPRK-class actors targeting Solana perps protocols. Jupiter Perps is a high-value target in the same asset class. DEX aggregator sub-protocol has lower DPRK target profile than perps. Yellow due to Drift comparator proximity.

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.
