Research on the Application of Penetration Testing Frameworks in Blockchain Security

Penetration testing is a widely used method to identify vulnerabilities in computer systems, applications or networks. Due to the persistent evolution of blockchain technology architecture, penetration testing frameworks have become increasingly important for blockchain-based applications. However, most existing penetration testing frameworks are based on traditional techniques and may not be suitable for the unique challenges presented by blockchain-based applications. This article reviews the current state of penetration testing frameworks, mainly based on traditional frameworks. Firstly, it introduces the architecture of penetration testing frameworks and the challenges faced by blockchain-based applications. Secondly, it presents the design and construction techniques of penetration testing frameworks based on traditional methods, including powerful scanners, vulnerability databases, automated testing tools, static code analyzers, and database management systems. Thirdly, the article summarizes the key technologies and achievements from traditional penetration testing frameworks. Finally, future research directions are proposed to improve the efficiency and accuracy of penetration testing frameworks, specifically for blockchain-based applications.
