Python reverse shell communicating over ports 80 or 443

Hello colleagues,

I have a question: Do you have any ideas on how to detect and block a Python reverse shell communicating over ports 80 or 443?

Thank you in advance!

Outbound? Instead of allowing 80/443 via http/https service, use "Web Browsing" to ensure it's proper HTTP traffic (which Reverse Shell typically is not).
However, that assumes we're talking about a Check Point gateway and, based on where this is posted, it's not clear what product(s) are relevant to this query.
