# API Reference: Hunting for Shadow Copy Deletion
## python-evtx
```python
import Evtx.Evtx as evtx
with evtx.Evtx("Security.evtx") as log:
for record in log.records():
xml_str = record.xml() # full XML of event
ts = record.timestamp() # datetime object
```
## Detection Patterns
| Pattern | Technique | Severity |
|---------|-----------|----------|
| `vssadmin delete shadows` | T1490 | CRITICAL |
| `wmic shadowcopy delete` | T1490 | CRITICAL |
| `bcdedit /set recoveryenabled no` | T1490 | HIGH |
| `wbadmin delete catalog` | T1490 | HIGH |
| `Win32_ShadowCopy.Delete()` | T1490 | CRITICAL |
## Splunk SPL
```spl
index=wineventlog (EventCode=4688 OR EventCode=1)
| where match(CommandLine, "(?i)(vssadmin.*delete.*shadows|wmic.*shadowcopy.*delete)")
| table _time Computer User CommandLine ParentImage
```
## KQL (Microsoft Sentinel)
```kql
DeviceProcessEvents
| where ProcessCommandLine has_any ("vssadmin delete shadows", "wmic shadowcopy delete",
"bcdedit /set", "wbadmin delete catalog")
| project Timestamp, DeviceName, AccountName, ProcessCommandLine, InitiatingProcessFileName
```
## Sigma Rule Format
```yaml
title: Shadow Copy Deletion
logsource:
category: process_creation
product: windows
detection:
selection:
Image|endswith: '\vssadmin.exe'
CommandLine|contains|all:
- 'delete'
- 'shadows'
condition: selection
level: critical
tags:
- attack.impact
- attack.t1490
```
