Absolutely. I mean, can you imagine trying to pull off a routing attack against a decentralized blockchain network? Good luck with that! The devs have probably thought of that one already.
Yeah, I'm with you guys. The routing attack also seems a bit too general. Blockchains have their own unique network topology and consensus mechanisms, so attacks targeting those aspects are more likely to be effective.
Good point. The DoS attack is more of a broad technique to disrupt a service, rather than a blockchain-specific attack. I'd say the Eclipse and Sybil attacks are the most relevant options here.
What about the Denial of Service attack? I'm not sure how that would specifically target the blockchain network. Isn't that more of a general attack that could affect any system?
Agreed. The Eclipse attack tries to isolate a node from the rest of the network, while the Sybil attack involves creating multiple fake identities to overwhelm the network. Both of those sound like they could be partitioning attacks.
This is an interesting question! I think the Eclipse attack and the Sybil attack are definitely relevant here. They both focus on partitioning the blockchain network in different ways.
