What does mining attack mean

A graphics card, a software that can earn bitcoin. Inject new bitcoin (data hashing) into the whole bitcoin market, and then the market will have a certain incentive mechanism (allocate bitcoin to you in proportion). Because if you don't get it, no one will do it, just like your computer is a miner, and bitcoin is the reward

In 2009, bencong invented bitcoin, and set that there are only 21 million bitcoins. By participating in the proction of blocks and providing proof of work (POW), he can get the reward of bitcoin network. This process is mining

the concept of "mining" comes from the existing concepts in our real economic life, such as gold mining and silver mining. Because minerals are valuable, it drives people to pay labor to dig

another important point of bitcoin mining is that the miners who participate in mining recognize the value of bitcoin, and some of them are willing to spend money in the bitcoin market. Therefore, the mining of bitcoin is meaningful

extended data

currency characteristics of bitcoin

1, decentralized

bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom

2, bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin

3, exclusive ownership

controlling bitcoin requires a private key, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself

4, low transaction cost

bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but in the end, about 1 bitfen transaction fee will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution

5, no hidden cost

as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay

6, cross platform mining

users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms

Mine pool refers to:

as the computing level of the whole bitcoin network continues to rise exponentially, a single device or a small amount of computing power can not get the block reward provided by the bitcoin network on the bitcoin network

after the computing power of the whole network has been improved to a certain extent, the low probability of getting rewards has prompted some geeks on "bitcoin talk" to develop a method that can combine a small amount of computing power and operate jointly, and the website established in this way is called "mine pool"

extended data:

the existence of the mine pool reces the difficulty of bitcoin and other virtual digital currency mining, reces the mining threshold, and truly realizes the bitcoin mining concept that everyone can participate in

but its disadvantages are also very obvious, because computing power is connected to the mine pool. As a mine pool, it will have huge computing power resources. In the bitcoin world, computing power represents the bookkeeping right, and computing power is everything. If the computing power of a single mine pool reaches more than 50%, it will be easy to launch 51% attacks against virtual digital currencies such as bitcoin, The consequences are very terrible:

the mine pool can make the mine pool with 49% of the remaining computing power have no harvest, instantly quit the competition and go bankrupt. The mine pool's computing power exceeds 50%. If 51% attack is launched, it will easily occupy all the effective computing power of the whole network

a new customer recently consulted with sine security company, saying that his server often fails to open the website of the card, and the remote connection to the server is extremely slow. Sometimes the Ping value reaches 300-500, and he often switches. After listening to the customer's words,

will generally judge that he has been attacked by CC + DDoS mixed traffic, It's strange to say that there is no traffic attack on the computer room. It's not a traffic attack, but it also causes the server card and website to fail to open. What kind of attack is this? In order to solve the problem of

client server card, we immediately arranged a security engineer to carry out security detection and deployment on his Linux server

{rrrrrrr}

Mining Trojan horse is also designed. If the mining process is forced to stop by customers, it will automatically start to continue mining to achieve uninterrupted mining.

careful inspection shows that it is through setting the hourly task plan, remotely downloading shell mining Trojan horse, and then executing, Check whether the current process exists or not. If not, start the Trojan horse to mine
