Abstract

The paper analyzed the security testing of crypto-exchanges, identified the inadequacy of checks in it, and found that the existing methodologies are insufficient to ensure the security of crypto-exchanges. The biggest attacks on crypto platforms, their causes, and how they could be avoided are explored. The essence of crypto-exchanges and their role in the modern world, the current state of security of crypto-exchanges, best practices and recommendations for improving the security of crypto-exchanges were developed. Based on research, a methodology for testing the security of crypto exchanges, developed on the basis of the OWASP Web Application Security Guide, is proposed.

Keywords: information system, cyber security, cryptocurrency, cryptocurrency exchange, security threats, theft, DDOS, Web application security, NFT, KYC, SQL, XSS, WAF.
