About miner attack related to block.timestamp.

[GHexxerBrdv]

Hey i have been exploring different attacks from @solodit checklist for jumping into real audit after completing @VaultGuardians.

I just seen miner can manipulate block.timestamp for their win of profit anyway.

I have been understanding that block.timestamp is the timestamp of current time. Like if it's 12 pm then block.timestamp will also give 12 pm like in second or millisecond. But i think i am confused about it.

I have seen the miner can manipulate block.timestamp for their profit. But i have question that how they can manipulate it. And if they can manipulate then what is actually block.timestamp.

Can you help me along with it?

What they mean by manipulate block.timestamp is that they can either process a block earlier than they are supposed to, or delay the processing of the block a little bit later, just to make sure things align for their gains. Please ask questions if anything is confusing.
