Initial Access to IIS Web Servers Detected by AhnLab EDR

AhnLab outlines how attackers leverage Internet-facing services (e.g., IIS discovered via Shodan) to exploit vulnerable web servers, deploy web shells, and execute backdoors such as Meterpreter via w3wp.exe invoking cmd/certutil. The post demonstrates AhnLab EDR behavioral detections for initial access and execution, and recommends continuous monitoring, patching, and attack-surface management to mitigate such threats.
