Why you should enroll
This course will teach you all about the different attack vectors that the Bitcoin Network might be vulnerable to. You will learn both how an attacker might potentially execute an attack, how the network protects against the attack and what the probability of someone executing the different attacks is.
Although this course focuses on Bitcoin you will be able to apply this knowledge to any cryptocurrency or blockchain network because all cryptocurrencies share a similar security model.
Check out the curriculum to see an overview of the different attack vectors and vulnerabilities we cover.
