Azure DevOps Services Attack Toolkit – ADOKit is a toolkit that can be used to attack Azure DevOps Services by taking advantage of the available REST API. The tool allows the user to specify an attack module, along with specifying valid credentials (API key or stolen authentication cookie) for the respective Azure DevOps Services instance. The attack modules supported include reconnaissance, privilege escalation and persistence. ADOKit was built in a modular approach, so that new modules can be added in the future by the information security community.

Full details on the techniques used by ADOKit are in the X-Force Red whitepaper.

Examples

Validate Azure DevOps Access

Use Case

Perform authentication check to ensure that organization is using Azure DevOps and that provided credentials are valid.

Syntax

Provide the check module, along with any relevant authentication information and URL. This will output whether the organization provided is using Azure DevOps, and if so, will attempt to validate the credentials provided.

ADOKit.exe check /credential:apiKey /url:https://dev.azure.com/organizationName

ADOKit.exe check /credential:"UserAuthentication=ABC123" /url:https://dev.azure.com/organizationName

Example Output

C:\>ADOKit.exe check /credential:apiKey /url:https://dev.azure.com/YourOrganization

==================================================
Module:         check
Auth Type:      API Key
Search Term:
Target URL:     https://dev.azure.com/YourOrganization

Timestamp:      3/28/2023 3:33:01 PM
==================================================


[*] INFO: Checking if organization provided uses Azure DevOps

[+] SUCCESS: Organization provided exists in Azure DevOps


[*] INFO: Checking credentials provided

[+] SUCCESS: Credentials provided are VALID.
