create custom URL category on palo alto can be used for wildcard URLs
If you have FQDN then you can just add FQDN object in the rule
If you want to add a wildcard or multiple URLs in a group then you can create a custom URL category
Objects -> Custom objects -> URL categories - > Add
Add your URLs
*.mail.protection.outlook.com/
smtp.office365.com/
Always end with a / ending token
Blurb from the palo:
For domain entries, we recommend you use an ending token. Acceptable tokens are: . / ? & = ; +. If you choose not to use an ending token, you may block or allow more URLs than anticipated. For example, if you want to allow xyz.com and enter the domain as 'xyz.com,' you will allow xyz.com and URLs such as xyz.com.random.com. However, if you enter the domain as 'xyz.com/,' you will only allow xyz.com.

CyberSec - eJpt
Information gathering
Collecting info about what we are targeting (company, website/URL/IP, app, servers, people etc)
The scope can be wide or narrow.
People info gathering
Names and email format is what we usually want for a phishing attack
We can also look at social media, linkedin, facebook, instagram etc
Passive info gathering aka OSINT (open source intelligence)
We don't need permission because its publicly available information
Get as much as we can without actively engaging opensource intel
Publicly available information.
Visit public websites
examples:
- IP ranges and DNS info
- Domain names and ownership info
- Sub domins
- Email and social media
- Web tech being used on target sites (IIS, nginx etc)
Penetration testing method
Passive info gatherin (OSINT, DNS IP recon, social media, google)
Active info gathering (network/app/port scanning, calling up asking for info)
Enumeration (service/user/share enumeration)
Vulnerability scanning
Exploitation (use existing, modify or develop exploit)
Post exploitation
- Local enumeration from the inside
- Privilege escalation
- Credential access
- Persistence
- Défense evasion
- Lateral movement
Reporting (writing of report / recommendation on remediation)
Active info gathering
We need permission
Scanning IP ranges
Scanning IP's for open ports (nmap/nessus)
Ports can tell us about services and we can look for vulns
Discovering open ports
examples:
- nmap scan to discover open ports
- Nessus scan to discover vulnerabilities
- Enumerating info from target systems
