cloud_enum

Multi-cloud OSINT tool for enumerating public resources in AWS, Azure and GCP.

cloud_enum

Future of cloud_enum

I built this tool in 2019 for a pentest involving Azure, as no other enumeration tools supported it at the time. It grew from there, and I learned a lot while adding features.

Building tools is fun, but maintaining tools is hard. I haven't actively used this tool myself in a while, but I've done my best to fix bugs and review pull requests.

Moving forward, it makes sense to consolidate this functionality into a well-maintained project that handles the essentials (web/dns requests, threading, I/O, logging, etc.). Nuclei is really well suited for this. You can see my first PR to migrate cloud_enum functionality to Nuclei here.

I encourage others to contribute templates to Nuclei, allowing us to focus on detecting cloud resources while leaving the groundwork to Nuclei.

I'll still try to review PRs here to address bugs as time permits, but likely won't have time for major changes.

Thanks to all the great contributors. Good luck with your recon!

Overview

Multi-cloud OSINT tool. Enumerate public resources in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

Currently enumerates the following:

Amazon Web Services:

  • Open / Protected S3 Buckets
  • awsapps (WorkMail, WorkDocs, Connect, etc.)

Microsoft Azure:

  • Storage Accounts
  • Open Blob Storage Containers
  • Hosted Databases
  • Virtual Machines
  • Web Apps

Google Cloud Platform

  • Open / Protected GCP Buckets
  • Open / Protected Firebase Realtime Databases
  • Google App Engine sites
  • Cloud Functions (enumerates project/regions with existing functions, then brute forces actual function names)
  • Open Firebase Apps

See it in action in Codingo's video demo here.

Usage

Setup

This project uses uv for dependency management. Install uv, then run:

uv sync

Running

The only required argument is at least one keyword. You can use the built-in fuzzing strings, but you will get better results if you supply your own with -m and/or -b.

You can provide multiple keywords by specifying the -k argument multiple times.

Keywords are mutated automatically using strings from enum_tools/fuzz.txt or a file you provide with the -m flag. Services that require a second-level of brute forcing (Azure Containers and GCP Functions) will also use fuzz.txt by default or a file you provide with the -b flag.

Let's say you were researching "somecompany" whose website is "somecompany.io" that makes a product called "blockchaindoohickey". You could run the tool like this:

uv run cloud_enum -k somecompany -k somecompany.io -k blockchaindoohickey

HTTP scraping and DNS lookups use 5 threads each by default. You can try increasing this, but eventually the cloud providers will rate limit you. Here is an example to increase to 10.

uv run cloud_enum -k keyword -t 10

IMPORTANT: Some resources (Azure Containers, GCP Functions) are discovered per-region. To save time scanning, there is a "REGIONS" variable defined in cloudenum/azure_regions.py and cloudenum/gcp_regions.py that is set by default to use only 1 region. You may want to look at these files and edit them to be relevant to your own work.

Complete Usage Details

usage: cloud_enum.py [-h] -k KEYWORD [-m MUTATIONS] [-b BRUTE]

Multi-cloud enumeration utility. All hail OSINT!

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -k KEYWORD, --keyword KEYWORD
                        Keyword. Can use argument multiple times.
  -kf KEYFILE, --keyfile KEYFILE
                        Input file with a single keyword per line.
  -m MUTATIONS, --mutations MUTATIONS
                        Mutations. Default: enum_tools/fuzz.txt
  -b BRUTE, --brute BRUTE
                        List to brute-force Azure container names. Default: enum_tools/fuzz.txt
  -t THREADS, --threads THREADS
                        Threads for HTTP brute-force. Default = 5
  -ns NAMESERVER, --nameserver NAMESERVER
                        DNS server to use in brute-force.
  -l LOGFILE, --logfile LOGFILE
                        Will APPEND found items to specified file.
  -f FORMAT, --format FORMAT
                        Format for log file (text,json,csv - defaults to text)
  --disable-aws         Disable Amazon checks.
  --disable-azure       Disable Azure checks.
  --disable-gcp         Disable Google checks.
  -qs, --quickscan      Disable all mutations and second-level scans
