https://youtu.be/yHhGHDrd9qYWhat is the Attack Surface Mapper? 🤔
Attack Surface Mapper scan covers various aspects of a domain's web presence and associated cloud services. By deeply scanning webpage content, headers, and cloud storage services like Open S3 buckets and Open Azure blobs, the scan aims to identify security vulnerabilities and exposures.
Here's how such a scan works:
Webpage Content and Headers: The scan would analyze the HTML content of webpages associated with the domain, looking for references to external resources like images, scripts, stylesheets, and iframes. It would also inspect HTTP response headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Permissions-Policy to understand the security policies and identify any misconfigurations or weaknesses.
Open S3 Buckets and Open Azure Blobs: The scan would check for any open or publicly accessible S3 buckets associated with the domain or its subdomains. Similarly, it would look for publicly accessible Azure blobs or other cloud storage resources. This involves querying DNS records, analyzing website content, and requesting known cloud storage endpoints.
Cloud Provider Information: The scan utilizes APIs provided by cloud service providers to gather information about the domain's cloud infrastructure, including details about storage resources and other services. This could help identify potential security risks associated with cloud configurations.
Subdomain Enumeration: The scan would identify any subdomains associated with the domain by examining DNS records and performing subdomain enumeration techniques. It then analyzes these subdomains to determine if they point to cloud storage endpoints or other relevant resources.
By combining these techniques, the scan provides a comprehensive assessment of the domain's attack surface, highlighting potential security weaknesses and areas for improvement.

What data is captured by the Attack Surface Mapper scan? 🤔
Here is what you will see once you have completed the Attack Surface Mapper scan against a domain.
Data Label | Description / Use Case |
|---|---|
DNS Records | Displays the DNS (Domain Name System) records associated to the domain. Different types will include A, MX, NS, TXT, and SOA record types. These help in the translation of a human-readable domain to an actual IP address. (IE: Phonebook for the Internet)  |
MX Records | Displays the MX (Mail Exchange) record for the domain. This help to route email to the correct email server(s).  |
Open Ports | Displays the count of open ports with the protocol. Ports are used for communication between software applications and services running on a device. The IANA maintains the full listing found here: IANA Ports Guide  |
RAW Headers | Displays the RAW Header information for the domain, which includes Cache Control, Connection, Content-length, Content Encoding, Content Type, Date, Etag, Keep-alive, Server, Set Cookie, Vary, X-host, and X-us-compatible information. This information is used for communication between web browsers and servers.  |
S3 Buckets | Displays any S3 (Amazon Simple Storage Service) buckets/containers for the domain; these are used for storing and organizing data on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform.  |
SPF Records | Displays the Sender Policy Framework (SPF), DNS record for the domain. This helps in preventing email spoofing and phishing by verifying that an email sent from an authorized server. |
Subdomains | Displays the count of Subdomains found the main domain.  |
Target IPs | Displays the public or target IP for the domain.  |
Vulnerabilities | Displays the count of Vulnerabilites; the CVE-ID, Severity, Description, EPSS Score, Base Score, Impact Score, and Exploitability Score will be included.  |
