This adds a new battlefield with an LND node v0.15.5-beta vulnerable to DoS: Fake Lightning Channels.
I added a scenario to demonstrate the attack. Since the base config for
maxpendingchannelsin warnet is 64, I can create 64 fake channels per run of the scenario. After that, I need to run the scenario again to create more fake channels with a new socket. This way, I was able to create 1000+ pending channels (lncli -n regtest pendingchannels | jq -r '.pending_open_channels | length'),which I think is enough as a demonstration.Update: I should try to create so many pending channels that the node becomes unresponsive and funds can be stolen
This depends on bitcoin-dev-project/warnet#799.
