Denial of Ethereum RPC Services (DoERS) Attacks

Demo: DoERS to DApps Running in Browser

For demo, we build a simple DApp on top of metamask which measures the time of accessing "getBalance" on a blockchain. For Ethics reasons, we attach the DApp client to a local machine running Geth.

Before DoERS, the response time of button "getBalance" is 31 ms.

After DoERS (with 300 RPC per second), the response time of button "getBalance" is 967 ms, about 30X the time before attack.
