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 Microsoft Azure, others are being closed down, keeping track of it all can easily become a full time job!
That's why we've created an Azure integration - add your virtual machines' public IP addresses and hostnames from DNS zones as Intruder targets directly from our portal! 🎉
Jump to the section of interest:
Step 1: In Azure, create an application for Intruder
Step 2: Get Application ID, Application secret key, Directory ID and Subscription ID
Step 3: Create a role
Step 4: Enter Application ID, Application secret key, Directory ID and Subscription ID into the Intruder portal
Step 1
In Azure, create an application for Intruder
Login to the Azure management portal
Search for 'App registrations' using the search functionality and click to get to the 'App registrations' menu.
Click on the '
New registration' button.
Enter a name (we recommend 'Intruder' or something similar) then click 'Register'.
Step 2
Retrieve the Application ID, Application secret key, Directory ID and Subscription ID from Azure
We require four access keys to connect your Azure account to Intruder:
'Application (client) ID' of the Azure application you just created
'Directory (tenant) ID' from Azure Active Directory (also shown on the App Overview page)
'Application secret key' of the Azure application you just created
'Subscription ID' of your Azure subscription.
You need to get them from various sections of the Azure portal, so it's probably best to open a text document that you can copy them into. It should all be straight-forward if you follow the steps below, so hang in there!
Application (client) ID
Click on the 'Intruder' application that we just created
Click 'Overview' and take a note of the 'Application (client) ID'.
(You'll need this for the 'Application ID' field in the Intruder portal.)
Directory (tenant) ID
You can also get the 'Directory (tenant) ID' from this screen so let's note that one down too. (You'll need this for the 'Directory ID' field in the Intruder portal.)
Application secret key (in Azure you're looking for the secret 'VALUE')
Now scroll down and click on 'Certificates & secrets' in the left navigation panel
Click on the 'New client secret' button:
Enter a description (e.g. 'Intruder')
Set an expiry date (i.e. how long you want the secret to be valid for).
(⚠️ Please note that Intruder will no longer be able to access your Azure account when the secret expires.)
Now click 'Add' and note down the secret 'VALUE'. (Not the Secret ID).
(You'll need this for the 'Application secret key' field in the Intruder portal.)
Important: Please note that you won't be able to see that 'Application secret key' again after you've left this screen, so make sure you copy and paste it now!
Almost there... 😅
Subscription ID
Search for 'Subscriptions' using the search functionality and click to see the 'Subscriptions' menu.
Select your subscription from the list of Azure Subscriptions displayed. The following screenshots use the 'Intruder' subscription but yours will likely be specific to your organisation
Take note of your Azure 'Subscription ID':
(You'll need this for the 'Subscription ID' field in the Intruder portal)
Step 3
Create a role
Within your subscription detail page, select 'Access control (IAM)' from the left menu
Click 'Add'
Then click 'Add role assignment'.
A new window will appear.
Type 'Reader' into the search box
Click on the 'Reader' item in the dropdown. (We require read-only access in order to fetch your public IP addresses and DNS hostnames.)
Click 'Next'
Ensure the 'Assign access to' property is set to 'User, group, or service principal'
Click 'Select members', and in the pop up window, search for the application we created earlier (e.g. 'Intruder', or whatever you chose to name it).
Choose that application from the list, and click 'Select'
Step 4
Enter the Application ID, Application secret key, Directory ID and Subscription ID into the Intruder portal
Log into the Intruder portal > Targets page >
Add Targets>Cloud Account Sync:
Select 'Microsoft Azure' (the first box):
Enter the Application ID, Application secret key, Directory ID and Subscription ID and click 'Add account'
Now give yourself a pat on the back because you're done! 💪
The next thing you'll see is this modal 👇, for automated management of your cloud targets.
If that's not of interest and you'd like to manage them manually, skip the boxes and simply press Confirm setup.
Intruder scans comply with Microsoft's Penetration Testing Rules of Engagement.
Note: Azure integration is only available for customers on our Pro, Premium and Vanguard plans.
