3.3 Network Vulnerabilities

Network Vulnerabilities in Blockchain

Blockchain networks, while providing a decentralized and secure infrastructure, are not immune to various network vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities can compromise the security, privacy, and integrity of the blockchain, leading to potential attacks and disruptions in network operations. Blockchain networks rely on distributed nodes, consensus mechanisms, and peer-to-peer (P2P) protocols, making them susceptible to specific risks that are inherent to their structure.

• DDoS/DoS/BDoS attacks

• Delay Attacks

• Partition Attacks

• Sybil Attacks

• Time Jacking

• Transaction Attacks
