  Abstract

A Cryptojacking attack has emerged that illegally cryptomined the crypto-currency using victim"s computer. Cryptojacking attacks are being advanced in various ways to improve attack efficiency. These new type of Cryptojacking attacks are not detectable in existing signature-based detection systems. In this paper, we propose a new Cryptojacking attack method using Pastejacking by analyzing trends of Cryptojacking attack and propose defense method that can effectively defend it. The proposed attack method uses Pastejacking which is aimed at vulnerability of ‘copying" event of web page. This proposed attack method can perform more efficient Cryptojacking attack on more devices than conventional Cryptojacking attacks. Rule-based detection and dynamic detection, which are proposed defense methods, can improve the detection rate of the Cryptojacking attack by detecting only Pastejacking which causes a Cryptojacking attack and eliminating false positive of the conventional general Pastejacking detection method.
