CryptX WebAssembly and CPU Behavior Based detection extension
Abstract
Cryptojacking is a web-based cyber threat where malicious websites use exploit a user's computing power to mine cryptocurrency without permission.The rise of WebAssembly has enabled attackers to perform highperformance cryptocurrency mining directly in web browsers, bypassing traditional detection methods.CryptX is a lightweight browser extension that identifies cryptojacking by analyzing continuous WebAssembly execution and unusual CPU activity during idle periods.Unlike traditional tools that depend on fixed attack signatures, CryptX focuses on how WebAssembly behaves while it is running.This makes it easier to tell the difference between malicious cryptomining and normal activities like video streaming or interactive websites.Since the extension runs entirely in the browser, it does not need any backend support, keeps user data private, and provides instant protection against cryptojacking attacks.
