Pranav Vyas, Sam Goundar · WORLD SCIENTIFIC eBooks · 2022
As the world adopts more and more of blockchain-based technologies, it will increasingly attract malicious users who will find and exploit their vulnerabilities. Therefore, the study of these vulnerabilities and how they are exploited becomes vital. In this chapter, we have reviewed a variety of vulnerabilities of blockchain. We have looked at these vulnerabilities from networking as well as programming perspective. We have also discussed various attacks on blockchain-based systems as a case study to understand how vulnerabilities are exploited in the real world. We have also provided some tools and techniques that can help in detecting vulnerabilities and enhance security of the blockchain system.
