Abstract

Blockchain is a growing technology that utilizes a decentralized public record of transactions. It is not only used for cryptocurrency, but also IoT, financial systems, healthcare, supply chain, etc. Although blockchain is quite robust, it is not invulnerable. This project will explain and demonstrate several weaknesses of blockchain and how to prevent them. We will demonstrate the following attacks and how to prevent them using Solidity: Transaction Order Dependence, Denial of Service, Replay Attack, Writing of Arbitrary Storage Address Attack, Weak Randomness, and Honeypot Attack.CCS Concepts:Security and Privacy $\to$ Software and Application Security $\to$ Software Security Engineering

Keywords:
Blockchain Computer security Computer science Honeypot Cryptocurrency Database transaction Solidity Denial-of-service attack Software Asset (computer security) The Internet World Wide Web Operating system
