Recently, while checking token security, I discovered an interesting misunderstanding. Many people, when using security audit tools like Ave to scan projects, see that 🐀 icon and wonder what it actually represents. I previously thought it referred to a Sniffer, but after careful confirmation, I realized I was mistaken. In fact, this mouse icon has a more specific meaning—it marks particular risk features or behavioral patterns in smart contracts. For those conducting due diligence and risk assessment, these icons are very important. If you're also using these tools to check tokens, remember to understand the true meaning of each mark and not guess based on intuition like I did. The details of security audits are often hidden in these small icons.

Haha, I fell into the trap again. I was also fooled by that mouse icon and thought it was some kind of black technology. --- You really need to carefully look at these small Ave icons, or else your risk assessment is pointless. --- I used to guess blindly based on intuition, but I later realized that each marker has its own meaning, and you can't just skip over them. --- Hearing you say that, I need to go back and check my audit records. I'm afraid I might have missed some key information. --- This is why you can't slack off on due diligence; details can really be a matter of life or death. --- I dare say 90% of people haven't figured out what that icon means—they're just guessing. --- Wow, the documentation for security audit tools really should be clearer so people don't have to guess blindly.

Haha, I also got tricked by this mouse icon before, thought it was some kind of black technology. --- Details are devilish. If you misunderstand these small icons, you lose a lot. --- It took me a long time to understand; I was just guessing blindly before. --- That's why you need to do thorough due diligence and not just guess based on icons. --- No wonder so many people are asking about this. The official documentation should be clearer. --- Ave's labeling system can indeed be confusing, especially for beginners. --- Damn, this is what I fear the most. Missing a detail can completely reverse the judgment. --- It seems that Ave's tools are a bit lacking in user-friendliness. --- No matter how complex the auditing tools are, you must understand them thoroughly and not just use them blindly. --- So, what specific risk does this mouse icon indicate? Can you elaborate?

Haha, I've been scammed too, and only later realized that it wasn't a sniffer... You really need to read the documentation carefully. --- These details are really easy to overlook. I almost made a joke earlier because I misunderstood. --- So, you still need to spend time mastering the tools, otherwise, it's just luck if you stumble upon something by chance. --- I just want to ask if anyone can compile a quick reference chart for these icons, so I don't have to look them up every time. --- It seems that the barrier to using auditing tools is higher than I thought... I need to take it seriously. --- This reminds me that the last time I looked at a project, I didn't understand a certain marker. Luckily, I wasn't caught off guard. --- Damn, some people really get confused about this all the time, no wonder I keep asking in the group. --- Details are devilish—that's why doing homework is so important. --- Laughing to death, just guessing the meaning from icons can easily lead to mistakes. --- I have to admit I also just glanced over quickly. After reading this, I need to go back and check again.

Haha, exactly, I've also fallen into this trap. The Ave mouse icon is indeed easily confusing. --- This detail is too easy to overlook; a quick glance and it's gone. --- To be honest, the annotations on the auditing tools need to be carefully checked, or you'll waste your scan. --- I used to interpret it casually as well, but later I realized I almost misunderstood the risk. --- That's why it's important to do proper homework and not guess blindly. --- Really, sometimes a small icon determines the entire risk assessment. --- No wonder so many newbies ask in the group what this icon means. --- You need to slow down and study carefully; otherwise, auditing is meaningless. --- Each label on Ave has its own significance; you can't assume anything. --- Learned my lesson. Next time I scan tokens, I will pay attention to every detail.

Haha, I've also been scammed before. I couldn't figure out what that little mouse icon really meant. At first, I really thought it was a marker for a hacking tool. So that's how it is. No wonder people are still asking about it. It seems I need to study the documentation of these tools carefully, or else it's easy to mess up. Such details really need to be taken seriously; otherwise, risk assessment would be pointless.
