## What it is
CoffeeMiner is a Python tool that performs a man-in-the-middle attack on a WiFi/LAN network, injecting a JavaScript cryptocurrency miner into HTML pages served to selected victims. It is explicitly framed as an academic/research demonstration of cryptojacking concepts.

## Use cases
- demonstrate mitm script injection attacks in a lab
- study cryptojacking on wifi networks
- set up a virtualbox academic security scenario
- learn how mitm proxy injection works with mitmdump

## When to choose
- teaching or researching MITM injection and cryptojacking in an isolated lab
- reproducing the academic scenario described in the blog post

## When to avoid
- any real network or without explicit authorization - unauthorized use is illegal
- production security tooling - it is a dated proof of concept
- actual mining profitability - hardware and protocols have changed since 2019

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: security, penetration-testing, networking, http-server
- domain: security, penetration-testing, networking
- platform: python, cli
- tags: mitm, cryptojacking, wifi, script-injection, academic-research, cryptocurrency, linux
