I practice penetration testing on this vps from azure, and when ever i run a heavy brute forcing process on it it always gets killed(The process just stopes and types "Killed" in the terminal), either a few minutes into it or a few hours later when i leave running in a tmux session, i searched online for this problem and apparently its because of the low ram, but i know people who run much heavier operations on their vps and have almost the same specs as mine but they don't meet any problems(But they're using another cloud provider) So why does this only happen with me?

    Not sure what the OS is and if you deployed the VM from the marketplace, but could it be that the process is killed because it is a malicious activity and some Azure Threat protection feature is killing it?
