Threat Intelligence Open API
Juniper Advanced Threat Prevention Cloud (Juniper ATP Cloud) provides the following APIs that can help you keep your network free of sophisticated malware and cyberattacks by using superior cloud-based protection:
Threat Intelligence API Overview
The Threat Intelligence open API allows you to program the Juniper ATP Cloud Command and Control server (C&C) feeds to suit your requirements. You can perform the following operations using the threat intelligence API:
Inject an IP, URL, or domain into a C&C feed with a threat level from 1 through 10. You can create up to 30 different custom C&C feeds.
An IP can be an IP address, IP range, or IP subnet.
Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
Update the threat level of an IP, URL, or domain from 1 through 10.
Delete a specific server in the feed or delete the entire feed.
Retrieve the current status of an operation (processing) or errors (if any) from the feed processing engine.
The Threat Intelligence API supports a Swagger API specification in JSON format to allow programmatic access to it. For more information on the Swagger API specification, see https://threat-api.sky.junipersecurity.net/swagger.json.
Starting in Junos OS 19.2, SRX Series Firewalls support inspection of encrypted traffic (HTTPS) as well as HTTP traffic in threat intelligence feeds. Server name identification (SNI) checks are also supported. These changes do not introduce new CLI commands. Existing commands make use of this functionality.
The following table lists the rate limits (number of requests
you can make per minute) for the Threat Intelligence APIs. If you
exceed these rate limits, you will receive a 429 - Too many Requests error.

Configuration and Setup
To access the API, you must create an application token in the Juniper ATP Cloud Web UI and use that token as the bearer token in the authorization header.
To generate an application token:
Log in to the Juniper ATP Cloud Web UI using your credentials. Select Administration > Application Tokens and click the plus (+) sign. Fill in the name of the token and other required details in the pop-up box that appears and click OK to create a new token. See Figure 1.
Figure 1: Creating an Application Token
A confirmation pop-up message appears, indicating the creation of a new token, as shown in Figure 2. You can now use this token to access the Juniper ATP Cloud API.
Figure 2: Confirming the Creation of an Application Token
Note:You can generate a maximum of 10 tokens per user, and each token is valid for one year.
For more information on how to create application tokens, see Creating Application Tokens.

Look up sample malware scores by hash.
Submit samples for malware analysis.
Update an IP, URL, or FQDN from a file in a specific list.
An IP can be an IP address, IP range, or IP subnet.

The file/hash API supports a Swagger API specification in JSON format to allow programmatic access to it. For more information on the Swagger API specification, see https://api.sky.junipersecurity.net/swagger.json.
Configuration and Setup
To access the API, you must create an application token in the Juniper ATP Cloud Web UI and use that token as the bearer token in the authorization header. See section Configuration and Setup for more information on the creation of the token.
Usage Example
The following cURL example illustrates the use of the file/hash API:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer<TOKEN>” -k <API HOSTNAME>/v1/skyatp/lookup/hash/<SHA256>?full_report=truecurl -H "Authorization: Bearer<TOKEN>” -k -F file=@/srv/sample.exe <API HOSTNAME>/v1/skyatp/submit/sample

API hostname corresponding to the location of the customer portal.
Please refer to Table 1 for the correct
hostname for your location.
where:
TOKENis the application token generated in the Juniper ATP Cloud Web UI.SHA256is the sample hash. Only SHA256 is supported at this time.
Full reports will be completely supported in an upcoming release. The report you receive right now may slightly different in appearance and content.
Infected Host API Overview
The infected host feed is generated by Juniper ATP Cloud and is used to flag compromised hosts. The feed is dynamic. Hosts are automatically added when Juniper ATP Cloud suspects a host has been compromised (through a proprietary algorithm) and can be manually removed from the list through the user interface once you feel the host is no longer compromised. The feed lists the IP address or IP subnet of the host along with a threat level, for example, xxx.xxx.xxx.133 and threat level 5. This feed is unique to a realm and IP addresses within the real are assumed to be non-overlapping.
Associated with the infected host feed are a allowlist and blocklist. These are different from the generic Juniper ATP Cloud allowlist and blocklist. The infected host feed uses these lists to remove hosts that are currently on an infected host feed (allowlist) and to always list a host in the infected host feed (blocklist.)
With the infected host API, you can do the following:
Return a list of all IP addresses in the current infected host feed.
Return a list of all IP addresses in the infected host allowlist or blocklist.
Delete an IP address from the infected host allowlist or blocklist.
Add an IP address to the infected host allowlist or blocklist.
The infected host API supports a Swagger API specification in JSON format to allow programmatic access to it. For more information on the Swagger API specification, see https://api.sky.junipersecurity.net/swagger.json.
Configuration and Setup
To access the API, you must create an application token in the Juniper ATP Cloud Web UI and use that token as the bearer token in the authorization header. See section Configuration and Setup for more information on the creation of the token.
IP Filter API Overview
A Dynamic Address Entry (DAE) provides dynamic IP address information to security policies. A DAE is a group of IP addresses, not just a single IP prefix, that can be imported. These IP addresses are for specific domains or for entities that have a common attribute such as a particular undesired location that poses a threat. The administrator can then configure security policies to use the DAE within a security policy. When the DAE is updated, the changes automatically become part of the security policy. There is no need to update the policy manually. Note that this is an IP address-only feed. It does not support URLs or fully qualified domain names (FQDNs).
The IP filter APIs let you perform the following tasks:
Remove IP addresses (in a .csv file) from an IP filter feed
Add IP addresses (in a .csv file) to an IP filter feed.
Remove a specific IP address from the IP filter feed.
Add a specific IP address to the IP filter feed.
Remove a specific IP filter feed.
Get the processing status of a specific IP Filter feed.
The IP filter API supports a Swagger API specification in JSON format to allow programmatic access to it. For more information on the Swagger API specification, see https://api.sky.junipersecurity.net/swagger.json.
Configuration and Setup
To access the API, you must create an application token in the Juniper ATP Cloud Web UI and use that token as the bearer token in the authorization header. See section Configuration and Setup for more information on the creation of the token.
Example
In this example, targeted attacked are being performed against web servers in a DMZ while concealing their identities via Tor. Tor exit nodes move frequently and keeping an up-to-date list of all 1000+ exit nodes within a firewall policy is almost impossible. This can, however, be done easily using Juniper ATP Cloud APIs. For more information on this example, see Automating Cyber Threat Intelligence with Sky ATP.
Shown below is an example script that performs the following actions:
Polls the official TorProject's exit-node list via cURL and extracts legitimate IP information via
grep.Utilizes Juniper ATP Cloud open API to install and propagate third-party threat intelligence to all SRX Series Firewalls in the network.
Runs on an hourly basis via cron to ensure that the active Tor Relays are always being blocked.
