#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ DragonX Block Validation Test Suite Submits tampered blocks to a running DragonX node and verifies they are all rejected. Each test modifies a single field in a real block fetched from the chain tip, then submits via the submitblock RPC. Tests: 1. Bad nBits (diff=1) - ContextualCheckBlockHeader / CheckProofOfWork 2. Bad RandomX solution - CheckRandomXSolution 3. Future timestamp - CheckBlockHeader time check 4. Bad block version (version=0) - CheckBlockHeader version check 5. Bad Merkle root - CheckBlock Merkle validation 6. Bad hashPrevBlock - ContextualCheckBlockHeader / AcceptBlockHeader 7. Inflated coinbase reward - ConnectBlock subsidy check 8. Duplicate transaction - CheckBlock Merkle malleability (CVE-2012-2459) 9. Timestamp too old (MTP) - ContextualCheckBlockHeader median time check Usage: python3 test_block_validation.py """ import json import struct import subprocess import sys import os import time import hashlib import copy CLI = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)), "..", "src", "dragonx-cli") DEBUG_LOG = os.path.expanduser("~/.hush/DRAGONX/debug.log") #
