Group Enumeration

Extracting group lists from identity systems identifies permissions, roles, or configurations. Adversaries may exploit high-privilege groups or misconfigurations. Examples:

• AWS CLI: aws iam list-groups
• PowerShell: Get-ADGroup -Filter *
• (Saas) Google Workspace: Admin SDK Directory API
• Azure: Get-AzureADGroup
• Microsoft 365: Graph API GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups

Data Collection Measures:

• Cloud Logging: Enable AWS CloudTrail, Azure Activity Logs, and Google Workspace Admin Logs for group-related actions.
• Directory Monitoring: Track logs like AD Event ID 4662 (object operations).
• API Monitoring: Log API activity like AWS IAM queries.
• SaaS Monitoring: Use platform logs (e.g., Office 365 Unified Audit Logs).
• SIEM Integration: Centralize group query tracking.
