Using HSS to Handle Mining Attacks
Scenario
Mining, also called cryptocurrency mining, is a process of obtaining encrypted currencies through a large number of computing. The process occupies victims' system and network resources and obtaining digital currency. To reduce costs, mining programs are implanted into personal or enterprise computers and mobile devices without permissions.
Take immediate measures to contain the attack to your server, preventing miners from occupying CPU or affecting other applications. If a server is intruded by a mining program, the mining program may penetrate the intranet and persist on the intruded server. In addition, attackers may use mining programs to obtain confidential information, such as confidential files and the usernames and passwords of key assets.
HSS can detect and respond to mining attacks. It can detect and isolate mining virus software. This section describes how to harden your servers to better block intrusions using HSS.
Prerequisites
HSS professional, enterprise, premium, WTP, or container edition has been enabled for the server. For details, see HSS Access Overview.
During Attack: Quickly Block the Mining Program
- Handle the mining alarm and terminate the malicious process.
- Log in to the management console.
- In the upper left corner of the page, select a region, click
, and choose Security & Compliance > Host Security Service.
- In the navigation pane on the left, choose Detection & Response > Alarms. The Server Alarms page is displayed.
NOTE:
If your servers are managed by enterprise projects, you can select the target enterprise project to view or operate the asset and detection information.
- Check and handle Mining alarms.
When a mining program is implanted on a server, HSS sends a mining alarm. You need to determine whether the detected mining alarm file is normal. If it is an attack event, you are advised to isolate and kill mining program.
- In the Alarms to Be Handled area, choose Malware > Mining.
Figure 1 Mining alarm
- In the alarm list on the right, click the alarm name to view the alarm details.
- In the alarm list, click Handle in the Operation column.
- In the dialog box that is displayed, set Action to Isolate and kill.
If a program is isolated and killed, it will be terminated immediately and no longer able to perform read or write operations. Isolated source files of programs or processes are displayed on the Isolated Files slide-out panel and cannot harm your servers.
- Click OK.
- In the Alarms to Be Handled area, choose Malware > Mining.
- View and handle the Abnormal Process Behavior alarm.
Check Abnormal process behavior events. You need to determine whether the detected abnormal processes are proper. If it is confirmed that processes are unreasonable, you are advised to isolate and kill them.
- In the Alarms to Be Handled area, choose Abnormal System Behavior > Abnormal process behavior.
Figure 2 Abnormal process behavior
- In the alarm list on the right, click the alarm name to view the alarm details.
- In the alarm list, click Handle in the Operation column.
- In the dialog box that is displayed, set Action to Isolate and kill.
- Click OK.
- In the Alarms to Be Handled area, choose Abnormal System Behavior > Abnormal process behavior.
- Check auto-startup items to eliminate mining threats.
Some of your auto-startup items were probably created by attackers to start mining programs upon server restart.
- In the navigation tree on the left, choose Asset Management > Server Fingerprints. The Server Fingerprints page is displayed.
- Click Auto-startup and click the Operation History tab to view the historical changes.
- Scan the attacked server and scan for viruses.
HSS provides the virus scanning and removal function. The function uses the virus detection engine to scan virus files on the server. You can quickly scan attacked servers to eliminate potential malicious threats. You need to determine whether the scanned virus files are proper. If not, you are advised to isolate them.
- In the navigation tree on the left, choose Server Protection > Virus Scan. The Virus Scan page is displayed.
- Click Quick Scan.
- Set parameters related to the Quick Scan task as prompted.
Select the server that is attacked by mining and retain the default values for other parameters. For more information, see Quick Scan.
- Click Scan.
- After the scanning task is complete, you can view the virus files in the lower part of the Virus Scan page.
- In the Operation column of a virus file, click Handle.
- In the dialog box that is displayed, set Action to Manual isolation.
After a file is isolated, the read/write operation cannot be performed on the virus-infected file. Files that have been isolated are added to the Isolated Files. You can restore or delete them in the Isolated Files.
- Click OK.
After Attack: Perform Security Hardening on the Server
After you delete miner programs, harden your servers to better defend against intrusions.
- Linux servers
- Let HSS automatically scan your servers and applications in the early morning every day to help you detect and eliminate security risks.
- Set stronger passwords for all accounts (including system and application accounts), or change the login mode to key-based login.
- Set the security password. For details, see How Do I Set a Secure Password?.
- Use the key to log in to the server. For details, see Using a Private Key to Log In to the Linux ECS.
- Strictly control the usage of system administrator accounts. Grant only the least permissions required for applications and middleware and strictly control their usage.
- Configure access rules in security groups. Open only necessary ports. For special ports (such as remote login ports), only allow access from specified IP addresses or use VPN or bastion hosts to establish your own communications channels. For details, see Security Group Rules.
- Windows servers
Use HSS to comprehensively check for and eliminate security risks. Improve your account, password, and authorization security.
