We showcase how attackers can leverage decentralised technologies to dynamically manage trust requirements in illicit activities. We focus on controlling botnets that are resilient to hostile takeovers. We present a step-by-step demo of how blockchain-based botnets can be built focusing on Bitcoin blockchain. We also show how specific Bitcoin APIs can be used in order to write extraneous data to the blockchain. Finally, we discuss possible defence mechanisms against the attack presented.
