# Assessment 6

#### Let's apply what you have learned so far to a specific scenario. Choose the correct response.

You are monitoring a blockchain network and notice that an attacker has gained 30% of the network's hash power. They are currently 1 block behind the leading chain. What is your assessment of the attacker's chances of catching up?<br>

* [x] The attacker has a moderate chance of catching up.
* [ ] The attacker has a low chance of catching up.
* [ ] The attacker is guaranteed to catch up.
* [ ] The attacker has a high chance of catching up.

**Notes to Learners**

With 30% of the network's hash power and a lead of 1 block, the attacker has a moderate chance of catching up. This means that while they have some ability to close the gap, the probability is not high enough to guarantee success. Understanding these probabilities is crucial for assessing the risks associated with potential attacks on the network.
