Export Twitter TI Feed to Sentinel

There are various sources where IOCs can be derived from and Twitter is one of them. Twitter provides a list of IOCs here https://twitter.threatintel.rocks/ And this list cannot be called in KQL or a workbook directly due to CORS not being enabled. Hence..

Limit access to your Office 365 Apps with for IP ranges with Named Locations

Most of the organizations coming from the On premises to Office 365 want to be conservative when it comes to the accessibility of Office 365 and Apps within.

Reduce Noise from AAD Non Interactive SignIns

As a part Azure Active Directory Data Connector in Sentinel, AADNonInterectiveSigniInLogs is one of the data sources. As this table logs data where mostly no user intervention is needed so any error is also kept as a known secret. And in that process the The volume of failed logs is increased The error gets unnoticed and leads towards an unhealthy environment

But, there Tor website publishes a list IP addresses which is directly available to used for Analytics or Hunting in Microsoft Sentinel Hence, have build this solution and published with source code for the ease of adoption. The original list is available https://check.torproject.org/torbulkexitlist
