Enumerating Cloud Resources

Discovering misconfigurations.

Goal of Cloud Enumeration

Enumeration turns a single credential or anonymous foothold into a map of the environment. You want to know what identity you hold, what it can do, and what resources exist.

  • Identify the principal (who am I?).
  • Inventory resources (what exists?).
  • Discover permissions and trust paths (what can I reach?).

Identify Your Identity

Always start by confirming the active principal. This tells you the account, the identity type, and where to look next.

# AWS
aws sts get-caller-identity

# Azure
az account show

# GCP
gcloud auth list
gcloud config list
