Hunt Hypothesis

This hunt targets the presence of VShell, a lightweight web shell used by adversaries to maintain persistent access and execute commands on compromised hosts. Proactively hunting for these IOCs in Azure Sentinel is critical to identify stealthy backdoors that may have been established to bypass standard monitoring and enable lateral movement or data exfiltration.
