kicks3 is a specialized security tool designed for Amazon S3 bucket discovery and security assessment. The tool performs two primary functions: extracting S3 bucket references from HTML and JavaScript files, and testing S3 buckets for common misconfigurations. The bucket discovery functionality scans web content to identify S3 bucket names and URLs that may be embedded in client-side code or markup. This capability helps security professionals identify potentially exposed storage resources that applications may be referencing. The misconfiguration testing component evaluates identified S3 buckets for security weaknesses such as improper access controls, public read/write permissions, and other common configuration issues that could lead to data exposure or unauthorized access. kicks3 serves as a reconnaissance and assessment tool for cloud security audits, penetration testing engagements, and security reviews focused on AWS S3 storage implementations.
