Detecting Cryptomining in Cloud
When to Use
- When cloud billing alerts indicate unexpected compute cost spikes
- When GuardDuty generates CryptoCurrency or Impact finding types
- When investigating compromised IAM credentials that may be used to launch mining instances
- When monitoring container workloads for unauthorized process execution
- When establishing proactive detection controls against resource hijacking attacks
Do not use for legitimate cryptocurrency mining operations, for non-cloud mining detection on physical hardware, or for general malware analysis unrelated to mining activity.
Prerequisites
- Amazon GuardDuty enabled with Runtime Monitoring for EC2, ECS, and EKS
- CloudWatch or Azure Monitor configured for compute utilization alerting
- VPC Flow Logs enabled for network traffic analysis to mining pool IPs
- AWS Cost Anomaly Detection or Azure Cost Management alerts configured
