coinminer_detection

Explanation

The coinminer_detection NDM detects machines connecting to coinmining servers which could indicate a cryptocurrency mining attack. This is accomplished by monitoring network traffic for connections to known coinmining server IP addresses.

What to Look For

If this NDM is triggered, network administrators should examine the network traffic to determine which machines are connecting to coinmining servers. Endpoints should be analyzed for any coinmining software installed or running processes related to coinmining. This NDM can help prevent cryptocurrency mining attacks and preserve network resources.
