gcpwn was a tool built by myself while trying to learn GCP and leverages the newer GRPC client libraries. It consists of numerous enumeration modules I wrote plus exploit modules leveraging research done by others in the space (ex. Rhino Security) along with some existing known standalone tools like GCPBucketBrute in an effort to make the tool a one-stop-shop for GCP testing. While other exploit scripts are generally one time use, GCPwn stores both data and permissions as you are running through modules organizing the data for you, and re-using it to make your life easier in terms of pentesting/tracking permissions.

Required Dependencies: See Requirements.txt + Wiki Installation Guide
Dependencies Note: Tested mainly on Kali Linux; Docker installation available via Dockerfile
This tool is mainly for pentesters, those just learning GCP security, and security researchers in general.
For pentesters, as illustrated above the tool automates a lot of scripts you would normally run and stores data to make exploit modules trivial to execute.
For those just learning GCP security, the tool is setup in such a way that it should be easy to add your own module via a Pull request as you dive into the individual service.
For security researchers, the tool allows you to run through a large number of GCP API calls and I document how to proxy the tool in the background through a local tool like Burp Suite. So running enum_all
with burp suite logging all the requests will give you visibility into all the different API endpoints across all the different python libraries with one command. That's the hope at least, I got it partially working with env variables, if someone can finish cracking the code :)

The tool will auto-default to "table" stdout. Tool supports table, txt, and csv. If you are having problems with tables, can change global configs with the following:
# See global configs global_configs # Set global configs for preferred output global_configs set std-output txt
Or you can pass in --txt
, --table
, and/or --csv
with each modules run
command to change the stdoutput
modules run enum_buckets --txt
Data enumerated is stored in local tables in GCPwn. To see table output run
# See all tables data tables # See all table columns data tables--columns # Get all data back and export to CSV file data --columns column1,column2 --csv [OUTPUT_FILE]
Run enum_all
module followed by creds info
to view newly enumerated permissions. The process_iam_bindings
module will then give you a TXT/CSV summary of policy bindings if they can be enumerated, and analyze_vulns
will try to flag bad roles/permissions. See the common flags below.
Enumerate Everything (Choose One that Best Fits)
# Quickest: Run all enumeration modules + testIAM Permissions modules run enum_all --iam # Longer: Run all enumeration modules + testIAM Permissions including ~9000 for projects/folder/org modules run enum_all --iam --all-permissions # Longer + Downloads: Run all enumeration modules + testIAM Permissions including ~9000 for projects/folder/org + download everyting modules run enum_all --iam --all-permissions --download
Take all IAM Policy Bindings from enum_all or other modules above and return a summary/vuln analysis
# Review Permissions User Has Thus Far creds info # Return Policy Summary from IAM Bindings if Applicable modules run process_iam_bindings [--txt] [--csv] # Analyze IAM Bindings + Other Items (like allUsers) if Applicable modules run analyze_vulns [--txt] [--csv]

I will be watching issues/pulls for any cool new stuff, that being said I do have a day job so give me at least 24 hours or something :)
If its a small issue, would prefer an Issue via Issues tab for a quick fix.
