This is a utility to raise an alert if a particular process's CPU usage is too high. Built with cryptojacking in mind, given an argument specifying which browser you're using, this utility raises an alarm if it uses up more than a specified amount of your CPUs power at which you may verify the state of your computer. To avoid cryptojacking please look into the following tools:- 1. NoCoin: a simplistic extension that verifies your web browsing against a blacklist. https://github.com/keraf/NoCoin 2. MinerBlock: a more sophisticated tool that blocks any proxy chains/inlined JS being used to cryptojack via browser. https://github.com/xd4rker/MinerBlock This utility is the final line of defense which will help you to confirm the status of your computer yourself. Cryptojackers are forever changing their tactics but the one thing that can stop them is if you're aware of how your computer is being used - this utility helps you in that goal! Software used: MacOSX (quad core processor, so we set the default limit to 200% because 200% virtual usage corresponds to about 50% real usage) Python 2.7.13 pip 10.0.1 Instructions: 1. pip install -r requirements.txt 2. python app.py -h
