Abstract
A method of detecting blockchain miner code executing in a web browser including receiving a profile for the browser identifying typical resource consumption by the browser in use; responsive to a detection of a deviation of the resource consumption by the browser from the profile, intercepting a communication with the browser including a cryptographic nonce, training a plurality of classifiers based on generated training examples, each training example being generated by applying a hashing algorithm to the nonce such that each classifier is trained with training examples generated using a different hashing algorithm; intercepting one or more second communications with the browser, each of the second communications including a hash value; executing at least a subset of the classifiers based on the hash value of each of the second communications; and identifying malicious miner code executing in the browser.
