Scout Suite is an open-source multi-cloud security-auditing tool that enables security posture assessment of cloud environments. It is designed to provide a comprehensive and accurate analysis of cloud assets by using the APIs of cloud service providers. Scout Suite supports major cloud platforms, including AWS, Azure, and GCP, making it suitable for performing cloud asset discovery.
Other tools listed, such as Pacu, Shodan, and TruffleHog, serve different purposes. Pacu is a cloud exploitation framework for AWS, Shodan is a search engine for internet-connected devices, and TruffleHog is a tool for searching for secrets in files. While they are valuable tools, Scout Suite is specifically tailored for comprehensive cloud asset discovery.
