Cloud storage scan

Discovers cloud storage containers you (or a vendor) own, then probes each for public exposure. Works across:

  • AWS S3
  • Azure Blob Storage
  • Google Cloud Storage
  • DigitalOcean Spaces, Linode Object Storage, Wasabi (S3-compatible)

How discovery works

Given a domain, Pentestas generates likely bucket names:

  • Company name + common suffixes (acme, acme-prod, acme-staging, acme-uploads, acme-backups, acme-media, acme-logs, …)
  • Expansions against every verified domain variant
  • Observed bucket names from the web-scan's crawl (URLs that reference s3.amazonaws.com/acme-media/… etc.)

Each candidate is probed via unauthenticated HEAD request. Providers distinguish "bucket doesn't exist" from "bucket exists but access denied", so discovery is reliable without credentials.

What it flags

  • Public bucket β€” unauthenticated ListObjects works. CRITICAL if the bucket contains production data.
  • Publicly-readable object β€” bucket ACL denies listing but a known URL returns content. HIGH.
  • Writable bucket β€” unauthenticated PUT succeeds. CRITICAL β€” supply-chain implant vector.
  • Directory listing enabled β€” MEDIUM.
  • Missing encryption at rest β€” LOW.
  • Missing versioning β€” LOW.

Usage

UI

New scan β†’ Cloud. Enter a domain. Pentestas runs bucket enumeration automatically.

API

bash
curl -X POST https://app.pentestas.com/api/scans \
  -H "X-API-Key: aa_..." \
  -d '{"target_url":"https://example.com","scan_types":["cloud"]}'

Anonymous (Free-tier) bucket lookup

A lightweight variant (no sign-in required) is available at:

bash
curl https://app.pentestas.com/api/public/cloudscan?domain=example.com

Returns a public-bucket list + minimal metadata. Rate-limited at 30/hour per IP.

Guided-response actions

Each finding comes with provider-specific remediation:

  • AWS β€” exact IAM JSON to add a deny-public statement to the bucket policy.
  • Azure β€” Azure CLI commands to flip --public-access off.
  • GCS β€” gsutil iam ch command to remove allUsers / allAuthenticatedUsers.
