Description

The Attack Surface Agent acts as a relentless external auditor, continuously mapping your organization's internet-facing assets. It solves the problem of "Shadow IT" and forgotten infrastructure by discovering assets you didn't know you owned. From subdomains and IP ranges to exposed cloud storage and leaked credentials, this agent provides a hacker's-eye view of your perimeter, prioritizing risks based on exploitability rather than just CVSS scores.

How it works?

Using a combination of active scanning, passive DNS analysis, and certificate transparency log monitoring, the agent builds a live inventory of your digital footprint. It actively probes discovered assets for weaknesses—such as unpatched software, open ports, default credentials, and misconfigurations ('.env' files, exposed '.git' directories). Unlike periodic penetration tests, this agent runs 24/7, alerting you to new exposures the moment they appear. It can also integrate with your ticketing system to assign remediation tasks automatically.

Key Features

  • Asset Discovery & Inventory: Automatically finds subdomains, associated domains, and cloud buckets linked to your organization.
  • Vulnerability Prioritization: Filters out noise by validating which vulnerabilities are actually reachable and exploitable in your specific context.
  • Tech Stack Detection: Identifies software versions across your fleet to pinpoint assets affected by new zero-day vulnerabilities (e.g., Log4j).
  • Shadow IT Detection: Flags assets hosted on non-standard providers or personal accounts.
  • Continuous Monitoring: Scans frequencies can be adjusted, but typically run continuously for critical assets.

    • Step by Step

    1
    Seed Discovery Starts with your primary domain and expands using recursive subdomain enumeration and WHOIS lookups.
    2
    Service Enumeration Port scans and banners grabs every live host to identify running services.
    3
    Vulnerability Assessment Probes identified services for known CVEs and configuration flaws.
    4
    Validation improving accuracy by attempting to verify the exploitability (safely) to reduce false positives.
    5
    Alerting Pushes critical findings to your SOC team via Slack, Teams, or PagerDuty.

    Available Integrations

  • Cloud Providers: AWS, Azure, GCP (for internal asset correlation).
  • Scanners: Shodan, Censys, Nuclei.
  • Ticketing: Jira, ServiceNow, Linear.

    • *Note: Hunto AI also customizes each agent, integrations, activity, and output as required by the security teams in different industries.*

    Expected Output

  • Live Asset Inventory: A real-time, searchable database of every external asset.
  • Vulnerability Dashboard: Prioritized list of open exposures sorted by risk.
  • Drift Alerts: Notifications when new ports are opened or new subdomains go live.
  • Remediation Guidance: Technical instructions for IT teams to fix identified issues.
