AWS Extender

This Burp Suite extension can identify and test S3 buckets as well as Google Storage buckets and Azure Storage containers for common misconfiguration issues using the boto/boto3 SDK library.

How to install

You can install this extension directly from the BApp Store or manually by cloning this repo and following these steps:

  1. Open the Burp Suite Extender tab.

  2. Open the "Options" subtab.

  3. Set the "Folder for loading modules" setting to the pathname of the "BappModules" folder.

  4. Open the "Extensions" subtab.

  5. Click "Add" and set "Extension type" to "Python".

  6. Set "Extension file (.py)" to the pathname of the "main.py" file and click Next.

Below is a description of each:

SettingDescriptionRequired
AWS Access KeyYour AWS account access key IDTrue*
AWS Secret KeyYour AWS account secret keyTrue*
AWS Session KeyA temporary session tokenFalse
GS Access KeyYour Google account access key IDTrue*
GS Secret KeyYour Google account secret keyTrue*
Wordlist FilepathA filepath for a wordlist of filenamesFalse
Passive ModePerform passive checks onlyN/A
SSL VerificationEnable/disable SSL verificationN/A

Notes:

  • AWS keys can be obtained from your AWS Management Console. For Google Cloud, see the documentation. Note that AWS/GS keys are only required for authenticated tests; if no keys are provided, only unauthenticated tests will run.

  • When SSL verification is enabled, buckets with a dot in their name will not be thoroughly tested due to SSL verification errors in boto (see: /boto/boto/issues/2836). You can either disable SSL Verification to test these (not recommended) or use this command-line script to test such buckets (/VirtueSecurity/aws-extender-cli).

  • It might be advisable to enable the "Passive Mode" option when testing on production environments in order to avoid any potentially disruptive bucket misconfiguration checks (see: #4).
