A Beginners Guide to Gathering Azure Passwords

Karl Fosaaen starts an Azure Automation series, showing how runbook permissions allow attackers to export RunAs certificates and credentials for maintaining privileged access to Azure subscriptions.

Karl Fosaaen introduces Get-AzurePasswords, a MicroBurst script that automates credential dumping from Azure Key Vaults, App Services configurations, and Automation Accounts via Azure PowerShell.

Karl Fosaaen releases a script for anonymous Azure service enumeration, brute forcing DNS across azurewebsites.net, cloudapp.net, and blob.core.windows.net to map a target's public Azure footprint.

Get-AzPasswords can expose Azure Automation credentials via runbook output; NetSPI added certificate-based CMS encryption so extracted passwords stay protected in logs and transit.

Stolen Azure Container Registry admin credentials enable Docker login, image and tag enumeration via Registry REST APIs, and pulling containers to hunt secrets; MicroBurst's Get-AzACR automates it.

Karl Fosaaen shows how Azure Contributor rights enable VM command execution as SYSTEM via Invoke-AzureRmVMRunCommand without opening firewall ports, scaling PowerShell across subscription VMs.
