description: |
|
|
The following analytic identifies allowed network traffic to The Onion Router (TOR), an anonymity network often exploited for malicious activities.
|
|
It leverages data from Next Generation Firewalls, using the Network_Traffic data model to detect traffic where the application is TOR and the action is allowed.
|
|
This activity is significant as TOR can be used to bypass conventional monitoring, facilitating hacking, data breaches, and illicit content dissemination.
|
|
If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, and severe compliance violations, compromising the integrity and security of the network.

how_to_implement: |
|
|
In order to properly run this search, Splunk needs to ingest data from Next Generation Firewalls like, Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense, Palo Alto Networks Firewalls or other network control devices that mediate the traffic allowed into an environment. This is necessary so that the search can identify an 'action' taken on the traffic of interest. The search requires the Network_Traffic data model to be populated.
