We know that keeping the targets you want to monitor for security weaknesses up to date can be a bit of a pain...
New instances are constantly being spun up in Google Cloud Platform, others are being closed down, keeping track of it all can easily become a full time job!
That's why we've created a Google Cloud Platform integration - add your External IP addresses and hostnames from Cloud DNS as Intruder targets directly from our portal! 🎉
Enable Google Cloud APIs
In order for the Google Cloud integration to work, you'll need to enable some APIs using the GCP console.
Select your project, then under 'APIs & Services' click 'Enable APIs and Services':
Use the search to to find the following APIs and enable them:
Compute Engine API (required to sync external and ephemeral IP addresses)
Cloud Resource Manager API (required to sync external and ephemeral IP addresses
Google Cloud DNS API (required to sync Google Cloud DNS records)
Connect Google Cloud Platform to your Intruder account
You can connect your Intruder account in two ways, depending on your intended configuration:
