AzureHound is an open-source tool that collects data from Microsoft Graph and Azure APIs for legitimate penetration testing but has been increasingly weaponized by sophisticated threat actors. It allows attackers to automate the mapping of Azure environments, identify misconfigurations, and determine high-value targets, transforming reconnaissance into a swift and efficient process.
By gaining access to a victim’s Azure environment, attackers exploit AzureHound to dynamically gather extensive internal Azure data, which aids in developing specific attack strategies. The graphical representations generated by this tool provide insights into hidden relationships and attack paths within compromised infrastructures. Recent intelligence shows AzureHound being employed by various adversary groups including the Iranian-backed Curious Serpens and the ransomware group Storm-0501 during their operations.
