When conducting bug hunting and penetration testing, you might come across S3 bucket endpoints and want to confirm if the S3 bucket is misconfigured.

There are several misconfigurations to look out for, not just public read and write access. To simplify this process, I have created a web-based scanning tool using Streamlit Python. In this post, I will guide you through how to use this tool during your bug-hunting process.

The scanner offers three options to check for misconfigurations based on the identified bucket information during penetration testing or bug hunting:

  1. bucket-scan
  2. s3-file-download
  3. domain-based-s3-region-scan
