Features

  • zap Multi-threaded scanning
  • telescope Supports tons of S3-compatible APIs
  • female_detective Scans all bucket permissions to find misconfigurations
  • floppy_disk Dump bucket contents to a local folder
  • whale Docker support

Examples

  • Scan AWS buckets listed in a file with 8 threads $ s3scanner –threads 8 scan –buckets-file ./bucket-names.txt
  • Scan a bucket in Digital Ocean Spaces $ s3scanner –endpoint-url https://sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com scan –bucket my-bucket
  • Dump a single AWS bucket $ s3scanner dump –bucket my-bucket-to-dump
  • Scan a single Dreamhost Objects bucket which uses the vhost address style and an invalid SSL cert $ s3scanner –endpoint-url https://objects.dreamhost.com –endpoint-address-style vhost –insecure scan –bucket my-bucket

S3-compatible APIs

S3Scanner can scan and dump buckets in S3-compatible APIs services other than AWS by using the --endpoint-url argument. Depending on the service, you may also need the --endpoint-address-style or --insecure arguments as well.

Some services have different endpoints corresponding to different regions

Note: S3Scanner currently only supports scanning for anonymous user permissions of non-AWS services

ServiceExample EndpointAddress StyleInsecure ?
DigitalOcean Spaces (SFO2 region)https://sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.compathNo
Dreamhosthttps://objects.dreamhost.comvhostYes
Linode Object Storage (eu-central-1 region)https://eu-central-1.linodeobjects.comvhostNo
Scaleway Object Storage (nl-ams region)https://s3.nl-ams.scw.cloudpathNo
Wasabi Cloud Storagehttp://s3.wasabisys.com/pathYes

books Current status of non-AWS APIs can be found in the project wiki

Interpreting Results

This tool will attempt to get all available information about a bucket, but it’s up to you to interpret the results.

Possible permissions for buckets:

  • Read – List and view all files
  • Write – Write files to bucket
  • Read ACP – Read all Access Control Policies attached to bucket
  • Write ACP – Write Access Control Policies to bucket
  • Full Control – All above permissions

Any or all of these permissions can be set for the 2 main user groups:

  • Authenticated Users
  • Public Users (those without AWS credentials set)
  • Individual users/groups (out of scope of this tool)

What this means: Just because a bucket doesn’t allow reading/writing ACLs doesn’t mean you can’t read/write files in the bucket. Conversely, you may be able to list ACLs but not read/write to the bucket
