Could you elaborate on the process of verifying an outbound connection attempt from a cryptocurrency miner, specifically A Pua? I'm concerned about potential security threats posed by unauthorized mining activities. Could you suggest the key steps to identify and authenticate such connections? Are there any specific tools or software I should utilize for this purpose? I'm also interested in understanding how to distinguish between legitimate mining activities and malicious attempts. Thank you for your guidance in this matter.
