methodazure provides security operators with a number of data-rich Azure enumeration capabilities to help them gain visibility into their Azure environments. Designed with data-modeling and data-integration needs in mind, methodazure can be used on its own as an interactive CLI, orchestrated as part of a broader data pipeline, or leveraged from within the Method Platform.

The number of security-relevant Azure resources that methodazure can enumerate are constantly growing. For the most up to date listing, please see the documentation here

To learn more about methodazure, please see the Documentation site for the most detailed information.

Quick Start

Get methodazure

For the full list of available installation options, please see the Installation page. For convenience, here are some of the most commonly used options:

• docker run methodsecurity/methodazure
• docker run ghcr.io/method-security/methodazure
• Download the latest binary from the Github Releases page
• Installation documentation

Authentication

methodazure is built using the Azure SDK for Go and authenticates with DefaultAzureCredential, which walks the standard Azure credential chain — environment variables, workload and managed identity, and a signed-in Azure CLI session. For more information, see Microsoft's Authentication and the Azure SDK.

AZURE_TENANT_ID must be exported regardless of which link in the chain supplies the credential — methodazure exits with an error if it is unset. To authenticate as a service principal, export the client credentials alongside it:

export AZURE_TENANT_ID=<tenant-id>
export AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>

Sovereign clouds are selected with --cloud-config (AzurePublic, AzureGovernment, AzureChina); it defaults to AzurePublic.

General Usage

methodazure <resource> enumerate --subscription-id <id>

Available resources: aks, database, dns, entra, iam, loadbalancer, nsg, resourcegroup, storage, subscription, tenant, vm, vnet.

subscription and tenant enumerate what the credential can reach, so they take no --subscription-id. entra queries Microsoft Graph and accepts --graph-service-endpoint, which is defaulted from --cloud-config.

Examples

methodazure storage enumerate --subscription-id <id>

methodazure vm enumerate --subscription-id <id> --output json

methodazure subscription enumerate
