dexontech.net/webminer/ Please let me know Title: Re: dexontech Web Miner Post by: spazzdla on July 30, 2015, 03:41:46 PM seems sketchy...
Alas, I'll never visit a site unless someone is at min a Sr. Member. Title: Re: dexontech Web Miner Post by: philipma1957 on July 30, 2015, 04:45:12 PM op opened account at 5 am today and did 1 post at 11 am today.
Bad sign . Title: Re: dexontech Web Miner Post by: notlist3d on July 30, 2015, 05:30:08 PM op opened account at 5 am today and did 1 post at 11 am today. Bad sign . Yea I don't even open links with signs like this. I see that meme yelling at me it's a trap. Title: Re: dexontech Web Miner Post by: -droid- on July 30, 2015, 08:24:26 PM not even worth visiting that site.. seems like OP trying to pull a fast one
Title: Re: dexontech Web Miner Post by: TheRealSteve on July 30, 2015, 08:30:07 PM I didn't audit the code, but looks like it's just a live version of a javascript miner. There used to be a few floating around - but as it mines mostly on CPU, it's rather pointless even if it is benign ( in terms of code - stressing your CPU is probably not a good idea either :) )

Who knows. Maybe he's trying to botnet Axiom into a few cheap BTCs? Title: Re: dexontech Web Miner Post by: TheRealSteve on July 31, 2015, 10:43:17 AM Maybe he's trying to botnet Axiom into a few cheap BTCs? Maybe - but people do have a choice of visiting the site or not visiting it (though earlier things were more opt-in-y.. i.e. "press button here to start mining bitcoin")... you'd have to serve the code up maliciously, to a lot of people (e.g. via an ad distribution platform), to form any reasonably-sized botnet (and somehow get the code to stick even if the user leaves the page); and even then it's so ridiculously little that they'd be better off trolling faucets. |
