Cloud Resources

AWS s3 backets, GCP Cloud storage, Azure blobs. After getting the company-hosted servers.

Often cloud storage is added to the DNS list when used for administrative purposes by other employees. example: s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com

So it's in our scope to look for cloud resources in DNS queries.

Google search + Google Dorks:

Google Dorks examples.
intext:<SNIP> inurl:amazongaws.com
intext:<SNIP> inurl:blob.core.windows.net

Page's source code:

Even it's a low hanging fruit, it can expose some endpoints or some cloud resources being referred from the page we're consulting. Even we don't find anything related to the cloud, we can find API endpoints, other pages or hidden directories.

3rd Party Solutions:

Third-party providers such as domain.glass can also tell us a lot about the company's infrastructure. As a positive side effect, we can also see that Cloudflare's security assessment status has been classified as "Safe". This means we have already found a security measure that can be noted for the second layer (gateway).

GrayHatWafare:

Another source to check for cloud storage online.

We can do many different searches, discover AWS, Azure, and GCP cloud storage, and even sort and filter by file format. Therefore, once we have found them through Google, we can also search for them on GrayHatWarefare and passively discover what files are stored on the given cloud storage.
