Cloud Resources#

🌍 Why Cloud Is Important#

  • Most companies use cloud services like:
    • AWS (Amazon)
    • GCP (Google Cloud)
    • Azure (Microsoft)
  • These platforms allow remote work and central management.

⚠️ Common Misconfigurations#

  • Cloud providers secure the base infrastructure.
  • But bad configurations by admins can expose:
    • S3 buckets (AWS)
    • Blob storage (Azure)
    • Cloud Storage (GCP)
  • These may be publicly accessible if not secured properly.

πŸ”Ž Example – Company Hosted on AWS#

  • During a scan, we found:
  • Indicates an S3 bucket used by the company.

🧭 Why DNS Matters#

  • Admins often add cloud resources (like S3) to DNS for easier access.
  • This can leak information if DNS records are exposed.

🌐 How to Find Cloud Resources#

Google Search for AWS#

  • Use Google Dorks to search public cloud files:

    inurl:s3.amazonaws.com intext:companyname
  • Dorks help find public cloud links containing sensitive company info.

Google Search for Azure#

intext:companyname inurl:blob.core.window.net

Domain.Glass Results#

  • Reveals information about a domain’s registrant, subdomains, and infrastructure.
  • Can indicate if a company uses Cloudflare, and what the security level is (e.g., β€œSafe”).

GrayHatWarfare#

  • Search engine for public cloud storage.
  • Supports filters like:
    • File format
