The new development was demonstrated at the Black Hat event. As noted by senior security engineer at Kudelski and one of the developers of the project Nils Amiet, working with the blockchain involves solving various technical problems. With the help of game tasks, the company wants to teach developers the difficulties they may face when working with the blockchain.

According to co-founder and CEO of cybersecurity Trail of Bits, Dan Guido, FumbleChain similar to games, competitions, hacking, used in traditional software development for finding vulnerabilities.

Users accumulate Fumblecoin game points every time they find and exploit a vulnerability in the FumbleChain blockchain. Amier notes that the basic FumbleChain technology is "very similar to Bitcoin," but more simple. Operating Director of cybersecurity company CertiK Daryl HoK said that FumbleChain is designed to make blockchain available to engineers from different fields.

The head of research at cyber security Kudelski in Nathan Hamiel hopes that FumbleChain will find your own life now that his open source code was posted on GitHub.

The lessons of the blockchain

FumbleChain was created after Kudelski completed a number of security checks for cryptocurrency projects, including Monero and Zcash, Hamiel Said. The first task in FumbleChain simulates a so-called replay attack, where duplicate transactions are generated in two separate chains.

Other vectors of attacks in FumbleChain, include validation of input transactions, the discrepancy of the addresses public key and the wallet as well as DoS attacks. FumbleChain also offers a web wallet and blockchain browser that you can experiment with. Later in FumbleChain plan to include objectives for smart contracts and blockchains privacy.

Mark laliberté, senior security analyst at WatchGuard Technologies, notes that FumbleChain can have an impact on existing applications, creating opportunities for "hands-on" learning.
