XMGoat – Mastering Azure Security Through Hands-On Attack Scenario

XM Goat is composed of XM Cyber terraform templates that help you learn about common Azure security issues.

Each template is a vulnerable environment, with some significant misconfigurations. Your job is to attack and compromise the environments.

Here’s what to do for each environment:

  1. Run installation and then get started.
  2. With the initial user and service principal credentials, attack the environment based on the scenario flow (for example, XMGoat/scenarios/scenario_1/scenario1_flow.png).
  3. If you need help with your attack, refer to the solution (for example, XMGoat/scenarios/scenario_1/solution.md).
  4. When you’re done learning the attack, clean up.

Requirements

  • Azure tenant
  • Terafform version 1.0.9 or above
  • Azure CLI
  • Azure User with Owner permissions on Subscription and Global Admin privileges in AAD

Installation

Run these commands:

$ az login
$ git clone https://github.com/XMCyber/XMGoat.git
$ cd XMGoat
$ cd scenarios
$ cd scenario_<\SCENARIO>

Where <\SCENARIO> is the scenario number you want to complete

$ terraform init
$ terraform plan -out <\FILENAME>
$ terraform apply <\FILENAME>

Where <\FILENAME> is the name of the output file

Get Started

To get the initial user and service principal credentials, run the following query:

$ terraform output --json

For Service Principals, use application_id.value and application_secret.value.

For Users, use username.value and password.value.

Cleaning Up

After completing the scenario, run the following command in order to clean all the resources created in your tenant

$ az login
$ cd XMGoat
$ cd scenarios
$ cd scenario_<\SCENARIO>

Where <\SCENARIO> is the scenario number you want to complete

$ terraform destroy
