The new AI system is designed to identity malicious codes that hijack supercomputers to mine cryptocurrency. It compares the programs used to misuse the supercomputers, based on graphs, which are like fingerprints for software.

Cryptocurrency miners try to use the high computational capability of supercomputers and keep the hijacking process hidden.
 The new AI system is designed to identity malicious codes that hijack supercomputers to mine cryptocurrency. It compares the programs used to misuse the supercomputers, based on graphs, which are like fingerprints for software, LANL said.Just like criminals can be caught by comparing their fingerprints with a fingerprint database, the AI system compares a program’s flow-control graph with a catalogue of graphs for programs that are allowed to run on a particular computer, it explained.The researchers found that their system identified the unauthorised mining operation quicker than conventional, non-AI analyses, when they tested the system by comparing an authentic code with an abusive, Bitcoin mining code.As their approach relies on graph comparisons to spot illegitimate programming, the researchers claim it cannot be fooled by commonly used masking techniques used by illicit cryptocurrency miners to disguise their codes as legitimate programs.
