Introduction

Web-Browser mining is a method of cryptocurrency mining that takes place within/inside a browser. It is implemented based on the scripting language. This approach is completely different from the widely known file-based cryptocurrency mining approach that involves downloading and running a dedicated executable file.

The web-browser mining approach was focused on any browser that support JavaScript which could be used for coin mining. With time, other services cane up and started using the process for the monetisation of websites. This process gave room to cybercriminals as there was now no need for passing throuch the vigorous process of deploying and keeping binaries persistent, all they require was a simple code injection on a web page and they can carry on their criminal act.

Considering the fact that the web-browser approach can only work for as long as the page containing the miner is kept open, it also provides extra flexibility where there is no need to store all processes on the single page. Functionality and components can be splitted across multiple domains, such that previously hacked servers can be reused for an entirely different purpose.
