According to Google translate Hiberent means stop it in latin. This project aims to tell "stop it" to abusive cryptominers to stop abusing platforms, by putting pebbles in their shoes.

Cryptocurrency is awesome and there are some fun things happening in this space, although some users have been abusing platforms that run on the cloud. Hiberent is a very basic script that aims to stop the most basic form of abuse by users.

After watching how these abusive users act to run mining tools, the idea of creating a script to look for these mining tools and stop them came to life.

Preventing users from abusing your platform will be difficult. This project is more of an annoyance to the abusive users than anything else. Hiberent might keep unsophisticated users from running some commands, but these mitigations are pretty straightforward to circumvent.

As a recommendation to harden your systems, you might want to remove the most used commands to download packages (wget, git, curl). You might be interested in reading this answer from stackexchange.

Hiberent is a poor-man way of preventing users from running commands and killing known mining tools. If you are using AWS, it's highly recommended that you use Guard Duty and terminate instances if mining is detected - read this article (TBD) on how to do this.

Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/FabioRosado/hiberent.git
