| Subdomain Takeover | A subdomain takeover happens when a DNS record (usually a CNAME, sometimes A/NS) still points to a cloud service or external provider that is no longer claimed. An attacker registers the dangling resource on that provider and serves their own content from the victim's subdomain,… |
How we run it
Documented phases aligned to industry frameworks. Every step produces evidence your engineering team can replay.
Methodology at a glance
1. Enumerate identities: users, roles, service accounts, and their trust policies.
- Enumerate identities: users, roles, service accounts, and their trust policies
- Review IAM: look for wildcards (), privilege-escalation paths, and unused admin credentials
- This is where most findings are
- Inspect storage: buckets/blobs for public access, weak ACLs, and sensitive data
