Cryptojacking Mine Sweeper

Summary: A Burp Suite extension called Cryptojacking Mine Sweeper detects cryptojacking by looking for script includes from more than 9,200 known cryptojacking domains, drawing on lists from CoinBlockerLists. Version 1.01, authored by Michael Skelton and last updated 24 October 2018, includes a command-line script to update the sources from GitHub and carries an overall system impact rating of Low.

Key Takeaway: The detection rests on a domain list last updated in 2018, so any cryptojacking infrastructure registered since then sits outside its 9,200-entry net.
