Have you ever needed to compare the contents of a local and remote file without having to copy the remote file to the local machine and then run the diff command on both? Sure, it's not exactly a challenging task, but it's not exactly the most efficient way to compare those files. Let's say you have a file named test on both local and remote machines, and you want to compare the contents.

Attackers behind an ongoing series of proxyjacking attacks are hacking into vulnerable SSH servers exposed online to monetize them through proxyware services that pay for sharing unused Internet bandwidth. Like cryptojacking, which allows attackers to use hacked systems to mine for cryptocurrency, proxyjacking is a low-effort and high-reward tactic of leeching compromised devices' resources.

An active financially motivated campaign is targeting vulnerable SSH servers to covertly ensnare them into a proxy network. "This is an active campaign in which the attacker leverages SSH for remote access, running malicious scripts that stealthily enlist victim servers into a peer-to-peer proxy network, such as Peer2Profit or Honeygain," Akamai researcher Allen West said in a Thursday report.
