…rewall This detection identifies distributed low-rate DDoS attacks targeting resources protected by Azure Firewall. These attacks evade traditional detection by distributing traffic across many source IPs, each sending low-volume traffic while the aggregate degrades availability. Detection triggers when: - 50+ unique source IPs target the same destination - Each source sends ≤10 events (low-rate per attacker) - 2+ distinct protocols are used (TCP/UDP/ICMP rotation) - No single protocol exceeds 80% of traffic - 500+ total aggregate events - 3+ distinct source countries (geo-distribution) Includes: - ARM template for Classic AzureDiagnostics schema - ARM template for Resource-Specific tables (AZFWNetworkRule/AZFWApplicationRule) - Comprehensive README with tuning guide and deployment instructions
