Run CloudFox's read-only Describe/List/Get enumeration (all-checks, role-trusts, secrets, endpoints, and permissions commands) to map AWS and Azure attack paths and surface exploitable misconfigurations. Use immediately after obtaining a cloud credential to build situational awareness, find exposed resources and secrets, or map sts:AssumeRole trust relationships for lateral-movement/privilege-escalation planning.

# Enumerating Cloud with CloudFox

> **Legal Notice:** This skill is for authorized cloud penetration testing and assessment only. CloudFox makes read/describe API calls against the cloud account whose credentials you supply. Run it ONLY against accounts you own or are authorized to test under a signed scope. Although CloudFox is read-only by design, the enumeration it performs is reconnaissance against a live environment and must be in scope.

## Overview

CloudFox is an open-source command-line tool from Bishop Fox that helps penetration testers and red teamers gain *situational awareness* in unfamiliar cloud environments. Where tools like ScoutSuite focus on a defender-style configuration audit, CloudFox is built from the attacker's perspective: it answers questions like "what are the most attackable secrets, endpoints, and instances in this account, and what can the identity I just compromised actually reach?" It is read-only — it only performs `Describe`/`List`/`Get` style calls — and writes its findings to per-command CSV/TXT/loot files plus a combined report directory, so output can be triaged offline.

CloudFox covers AWS most deeply (30+ commands) and supports Azure. The workhorse is `cloudfox aws all-checks`, which runs the full battery of enumeration commands with sensible defaults: inventory, internet-reachable `endpoints`, EC2 `instances` (with IPs and instance-profile roles), `iam-simulator` and `permissions` for IAM analysis, `principals`, `secrets` from Secrets Manager/SSM, `buckets`, `role-trusts` (which identities can assume which roles — a core attack-path primitive), `access-keys`, `route53`, `ecr`, `lambda`, and more. CloudFox also emits ready-to-run command suggestions (e.g. `aws s3 ls` lines, `aws ssm start-session` lines) in its "loot" files so an operator can pivot immediately.

This skill covers installing CloudFox, authenticating to AWS and Azure, running targeted and full enumeration, interpreting the high-value outputs (role-trusts, secrets, endpoints), and feeding the results into attack-path planning. Source: github.com/BishopFox/cloudfox.
