Offensive Tools
CloudFox: Find exploitable attack paths in cloud infrastructure.
CloudFox is a command line tool created to help penetration testers and other offensive security professionals find exploitable attack paths in cloud infrastructure. It currently supports AWS.
About CloudFox
A collection of enumeration commands that illuminate attack paths for cloud penetration testing.
The main inspiration for cloudfox was to create something like PowerView for cloud infrastructure. A collection of enumeration commands that illuminate attack paths even for those relatively new to cloud penetration testing. To do this, we codified our many sed/awk/grep/jq incantations into a tool that is portable, modular, and quick. Our primary audience is penetration testers, but we think cloudfox will be useful for all cloud security practitioners. CloudFox currently supports AWS.
With CloudFox, security practitioners can:
- Gain situational awareness in unfamiliar cloud environments
- Automate the laborious parts of cloud penetration testing
- Identify more exploitable attack paths in less time

Introducing CloudFoxable: A Gamified Cloud Hacking Sandbox
CloudFoxable is an intentionally vulnerable AWS environment created specifically to teach the art of AWS cloud penetration testing, while showcasing CloudFox’s capabilities that help you find latent attack paths more effectively.
Drawing inspiration from CloudGoat, flaws.cloud, and Metasploitable, CloudFoxable provides a wide array of flags and attack paths in a capture-the-flag (CTF) format.
