  • Another comment from ahiknsr points out one repo affected:

    https://github.com/Bhargav1912/test_1/pull/2/files

    Following the files used reveals the pool and wallet used. The pool lets you look up the stats for this wallet. For this wallet, it says:

    > Total Paid: 163000 TRTL - 42.16$

    But I guess the culprit is rotating wallets. Juding by the hash rate, the pool estimates a weekly income of 700$. It could be a multiple of this if the culprit uses multiple wallets at once.

  • randomx-sniffer

    Proof of concept tool to detect RandomX cryptojacking malware on Windows

  • RandomX is quite easily detectable due to the unusual use of floating point operations. Proof of concept detectors have already been created, for example https://github.com/tevador/randomx-sniffer

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • go-spacemesh

    Go Implementation of the Spacemesh protocol full node. 💾⏰💪

  • chia-blockchain-gui

    Chia blockchain GUI in electron/react

  • https://chia.net also does this. I guess the guy that designed bittorrent also designed this one.
