Cryptojacking is a growing cybersecurity threat where attackers secretly use your system’s resources to mine cryptocurrency. This unauthorized activity slows down your machine, increases energy costs, and can expose your system to further security risks.

In this course, you'll learn how to detect and prevent cryptojacking malware on Linux using YARA—a powerful tool for malware analysis and threat hunting. You will explore static analysis techniques, Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), and YARA rule creation to effectively identify and stop unauthorized mining activities.

What You’ll Learn:

• Detect cryptojacking malware using YARA and IOCs

• Analyze malicious Bash scripts and ELF binaries used for cryptojacking

• Write and implement YARA rules to identify unauthorized mining activities

• Secure your Linux system with effective prevention techniques
