CYFIRMA - High severity TOR Node Network Indicators - Block Recommended Rule

This is a third-party alert feed, not a detection over modeled telemetry. The vendor product raised the finding; this rule forwards it into the SIEM. It is searchable for reference but is excluded from the detection-rule browse and the ATT&CK coverage matrix.

Severity: high
Time window: 5m
Source: github.com/Azure/Azure-Sentinel

"This KQL query identifies network-based indicators from CYFIRMA intelligence that are associated with the role 'TOR'. These indicators may include IP addresses, domains, and URLs related to Tor network activity. Threat actors often use Tor for anonymous communication, command and control, data exfiltration, and evasion of network defenses."

Exclusions

The rule actively suppresses these predicates.

Field	Kind	Excluded values	Search
`pattern`	contains	`file:hashes`	`excludes:pattern` `field:"pattern" value:"file:hashes"`

Indicators

These rows show field, operator, and value matches.

Field	Kind	Values	Search
`ConfidenceScore`	ge	`80`	`field:"ConfidenceScore" kind:ge value:"80"`
`RecommendedActions`	match	`Block` transforms: `term`	`field:"RecommendedActions" kind:match value:"Block"`
`Roles`	match	`TOR` transforms: `term`	`field:"Roles" kind:match value:"TOR"`

Output fields

These fields are emitted when the rule matches.
