randomx-sniffer VS RandomX

The proof of concept exists https://github.com/tevador/randomx-sniffer

Nah, it looks like that but there's precompiled bat files available here. https://github.com/tevador/randomx-sniffer/releases

rip gamers using norton. if they want to detect miners something like randomx sniffer might be a more suitable solution

There's also a sniffer tool to detect monero mining, but I haven't looked into that and at first glance it doesn't look like it's available for Linux, but it proves the concept.

the developer of the mining algo (randomx) also put out a randomx sniffer: https://github.com/tevador/randomx-sniffer

We reached out to AV providers with https://github.com/tevador/randomx-sniffer and never received a reply.

If you have access to the instance it is running on, there are tools to automatically detect randomx monero) mining activity, for example: https://github.com/tevador/randomx-sniffer by the randomx author.

Know that Tevador, the main author of RandomX, has written a RandomX sniffer for network operators to use to detect possible botnet software. https://github.com/tevador/randomx-sniffer

This is not true for all crypto coins. A small proportion of mining hash functions are deliberately designed to thwart ASICs, e.g. https://github.com/tevador/RandomX. It's a cat-and-mouse game, though: CryptoNight was designed to fulfill the same role, but ultimately failed: https://monerodocs.org/proof-of-work/cryptonight/.

Can we reference this specs doc from the Randomx repo https://github.com/tevador/RandomX/blob/master/doc/specs.md . I am going to be using the variables K and H as described in the doc.

Monero uses randomx, an ASIC-resistant and CPU-friendly POW algorithm created by Monero community members, designed to make the use of mining-specific hardware unfeasible. Monero previously used CryptoNight and variations of this algorithm. More info in the GitHub repo.

Here's the randomx github. Or at least I think its the same randomx that xmr uses? https://github.com/tevador/RandomX. There's some stuff in there under the documentation section.

Monero does not have ASICs since RandomX was implemented in 2019. CPU is the best way to mine it. See https://github.com/tevador/RandomX.
