1. You may have paid more than you imagine—Replay Attacks on Ethereum Smart Contracts

Speakers: 

  • Zhenxuan Bai Freelance Security Researcher
  • Yuwei Zheng Senior Security Researcher, Unicorn Team, 360 Technology
  • Senhua Wang Freelance Security Researcher
  • Kunzhe Chai Leader of Pegasus Team at 360 Radio Security Research Department, 360 Technology

In this talk, a new replay attack based on Ethereum smart contracts is presented. In the token transfer, the risk of replay attack cannot be completely avoided when the sender's signatures are abused, which can bring the loss to users. And the reason is that the applying scope of the signatures is not properly designed in the smart contracts. To test and verify this loophole, we selected two similar smart contracts for our experiment, at the same time, we used our own accounts in these two contracts to carry out the experiment. Because the same signatures of the two contracts were used in the experiment, we got a double income from sender successfully.
