| Summary: | This final year project is about creating a browser-based Anti-Cryptojacking System to
protect users from hidden mining attacks. Cryptojacking happens when malicious scripts
secretly use a person’s computer resources to mine cryptocurrency without permission. The
system is developed as a browser extension that can block harmful websites using an updated
blacklist, scan webpages for suspicious keywords, functions or scripts, and monitor CPU
usage for unusual spikes. It works quietly in the background and alerts users in real time if a
threat is detected, while making sure normal browsing is not affected. The extension is built
to be lightweight, user-friendly, and easy to install, so even non-technical users can benefit
from it. Research for this project involved reviewing current detection tools, studying
different prevention techniques, and applying them into a practical extension design. Testing
results have shown that the extension can successfully detect and prevent cryptojacking
activities, making it a reliable solution for everyday browsing. This project contributes to the
field of cybersecurity by providing a simple and effective tool that raises awareness and
protects users against cryptojacking attacks. |
