TIDE is Threat Intelligence Data Exchange. It is effectively a very large Threat Database that is managed by the Infoblox Threat Intelligence Team. From its database, the Infoblox RPZ feeds are generated.

In the CSP > Research > Active Indicators, we can't see RPZ membership of threats. This is expected as this page is a simple GUI interface to the Threat Intel database. RPZ membership can be found in Dossier lookups or (ideally) via API lookups.

Infoblox has harmless test domains that are in various RPZ feeds. This allows you to test that a given RPZ feed is active and working as well as generate example logs, etc.

Test RPZ data here.

Get all custom RPZ feeds and Country Based RPZ feeds

curl -s -X GET "https://csp.infoblox.com/api/custom_feeds/v1/feeds" -H "Authorization: Token token=APIKEY_HERE" -H "Content-Type: application/json"

You will get a lot of data back. Each feed has an ID. Use that to limit further queries to pull just that feed.

curl -s -X GET "https://csp.infoblox.com/api/custom_feeds/v1/feeds/<ID>" -H "Authorization: Token token=APIKEY_HERE" -H "Content-Type: application/json"

On PAN-OS Web UI

• Objects > External Dynamic Lists > Add :
• Type = Domain List (So we can use it in Anti-Spyware Profiles)
• Tick “Automatically expand to include sub-domains”
• Set “Check for updates” as required
• Click “Test Source URL”

You can update the External Dynamic List in Palo Alto Networks to use the following URL and download directly from CSP

https://apikey:API-KEY-HERE@csp.infoblox.com/tide/api/data/threats?data_format=csv&field=domain&rlimit=10&type=host&class=cryptocurrency

Note the use of the username apikey and also an API key.

If you set a Server Certificate in the EDL you can also user username/password (e.g. apiuser and APIKEY) in addition to

csp.infoblox.com/tide/api/data/threats?data_format=csv&field=domain&rlimit=10&type=host&class=cryptocurrency

I got this working for domains but not IP feeds. URL feeds don't work directly from Infoblox CSP because the Palo Alto can't handle the inclusion of

https://

at the start when setting a URL feed.

Retrieve notes in TIDE for a domain example.com:

Dossier sources.

• iSIGHT is available as a separate subscription and is not automatically included with Dossier.

Remember, if you only have Business Cloud and a threat exists in one of the “Advanced only” RPZ feeds, you won't see those RPZ feeds be identified if you send a Dossier query for the domain.

In the event that you query Dossier for a domain that is in both AntiMalware and (e.g.) Suspicious-Lookalikes, then, as a Business Cloud customer, you will only see AntiMalware in the “Matched RPZ” list. You will, however, see the relevant “suspicious” tag in the activity timeline which gives you a clue it might also be in suspicious. Only Advanced customers will see (in Dossier) that the domain is in both AntiMalware and Suspicious Lookalikes RPZ feeds.

Simply query for

• type = HOST
• profile = IID Data
• class= MalwareC2
• property = MalwareC2_BackdoorRAT
• threatlevel = 80+
• period = (last) 24h

curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Token token=APIKEY" "https://csp.infoblox.com/tide/api/data/threats?type=host&profile=iid&class=malwarec2&property=malwarec2_backdoorrat&threat_level_from=100&period=24h"

Same command but use GREP to filter out everything but the feed names.

curl -s -X POST "https://csp.infoblox.com/tide/api/services/intel/lookup/jobs?wait=true" -H "Authorization: Token token=APIKEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"target": {"one": {"type": "host", "target": "google.com","sources":["rpz_feeds"]}}}' | grep feed_name | grep -v ib- | awk -F ":" '{print $2}' | sed 's/\ //g' | sed 's/,//g' | sed 's/"//g'
