This is basically an advertisement for a product Sysdig offers. The name is mentioned in every other sentence.

Sysdig inspect (which does the Forensics in these examples) is open source. https://github.com/draios/sysdig-inspect

You can do the same rule - based activity detection through Falco which is also open source. https://github.com/draios/falco

Note that both of these open source projects originate from Sysdig as well.

here's another post on the topic that uses strictly open source https://sysdig.com/blog/detecting-cryptojacking-with-sysdigs...

I genuinely thought this would be about the trend of developers with no security mindset flowing into Ethereum building all kinds of insecure apps, or those who build very superficial "DApp"s to make some bucks overnight, flip, and disappear, or those who write just enough code (in most cases copy and paste an open source contract someone else wrote, just enough to receive Ether) to run a scam ICO and disappear.

It wasn't.

But I think it's a good term for that use case :)
