This hunt targets the Mozi botnet, a prevalent Linux-based malware that often propagates via vulnerable IoT devices and servers to establish persistent command-and-control channels. Proactively hunting for these known malicious URLs in Azure Sentinel allows the SOC to identify compromised hosts or web traffic patterns before the botnet can fully propagate, exfiltrate data, or participate in DDoS attacks.
