Dr. Mine is a script programmed in NodeJS designed specially to help the detection of the cryptocurrency mining in the different webs that we are going to visit. According to cyber security experts, the most accurate way to detect the cryptocurrency mining in browsers is using the browser, but in this case, the tool will automate everything to capture any cryptocurrency request from the websites that we visit, but also all the websites that will let’s go by parameter.
When Dr. Mine detects a mining request, it will mark the corresponding URL to know at all times what URL it is trying to mine.
