Office 365 URLs and IP address ranges

I would like to automate this… but for now I edited the XML file Aliases and loaded that... I think pfBlockerNG can be used.. but I need to test it first.... I was hoping there is a simpler solution
-
You won't achieve full automation easily because XML is essentially free form and to write a parser for an arbitrary XML file you need to know a bit about the structure of the file (called the schema). There are XML parsers for PHP but the parts that know about a particular XML schema (like this what MS uses) are not going be included in base pfSense, they are a clear case for an addon package.
-
well it is working and updating from their files, so unless they change their format etc, Ill continue to use it.
-
@daschenbrener what advice do you have. How did you do it?
-
how i used it is through pfBlockerNG.
I added it to the rules
see picture attached
and it automatically parsed the file and is working
 -
Is that a lucky accident or is PFBlockerNG smart enough to parse the XML properly?
-
this is a first for me, but i believe that it is designed that way as pfsense can uses xml files already as well.

It doesn't really parse it, it uses a bunch of crazy regexps to get IPs out of the XML/HTML/whatnot file.

@daschenbrener: thank you… I will give this a try.... :-)
-
my pleasure ,now to find files like this for other companies , hmm, maybe there is something here i can start, a list of the various locations for ip address . Just like the one for microsoft.
-
Good idea… it just needs to be a trusted list....

I use the Powershell script from Microsoft. It generates the IPv4 addresses in a text file. This is uploaded daily to an FTP server via task scheduling. I have deactivated ipv6 and Urls in the Powershell-Script.
Maybe this will help other users.<# Get-O365WebServiceUpdates.ps1 From https://aka.ms/ipurlws v1.1 8/6/2019 DESCRIPTION This script calls the REST API of the Office 365 IP and URL Web Service (Worldwide instance) and checks to see if there has been a new update since the version stored in an existing $Env:TEMP\O365_endpoints_latestversion.txt file in your user directory's temp folder (usually C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp). If the file doesn't exist, or the latest version is newer than the current version in the file, the script returns IPs and/or URLs that have been changed, added or removed in the latest update and writes the new version and data to the output file $Env:TEMP\O365_endpoints_data.txt.
