Exploit Question

[jasperdegens]

Hi Emilio,

Thanks for the great tutorial this morning on flashloans -- the whys and hows of flashloans make much more sense. I've been experimenting locally and was looking for the contract exploit you mentioned, and I saw there is a reentrancy vulnerability. However, after some local tests it seems the gas fee to exploit the vulnerability is greater than the 0.09% bump you receive when calling arbitrage() (which is capped at 0.01 ETH). Executing a reentrancy attack once costs ~83603 gas, 10 times =~262802 gas in my tests, . Is there another method that I am missing? I am not too keen to burn all the funds on the contract in gas fees. This isn't an issue but was just wondering if I am on the right direction. Cheers!
