CASM: Continuous Attack Surface Monitoring

CASM

Continuous Attack Surface Monitoring

Evidence-first attack surface monitoring with safe, scope-bound verification and run-over-run change tracking.

CASM helps security teams continuously monitor external exposure in authorized environments. It discovers assets, verifies HTTP/TLS posture, and compares each run against a baseline to show exactly what changed.

Quick Start

# Install
pip install g2cv-casm

# Create a minimal scope and targets file
cat > scope.yaml <<'YAML'
engagement_id: quickstart
allowed_domains: [example.com]
allowed_ips: []
allowed_ports: [443]
allowed_protocols: [https]
seed_targets: [example.com]
max_rate: 5
max_concurrency: 2
active_allowed: false
auth_allowed: false
YAML

cat > targets.json <<'JSON'
{
  "targets": [
    {"url": "https://example.com", "method": "HEAD"}
  ]
}
JSON

# Run a unified scan
casm run unified --config scope.yaml --targets-file targets.json --dry-run false

# Compare with a previous run
casm diff --old runs/baseline/results.sarif --new runs/current/results.sarif

By default, CASM auto-resolves tool binaries in this order: bundled wheel tools, local hands/bin (source tree), cache, then optional download configured with CASM_TOOL_DOWNLOAD_URL_TEMPLATE and CASM_TOOL_MANIFEST_URL.

In a source checkout, if hands/bin/<tool> is missing and Go is installed, CASM auto-builds the tool on first use.

What CASM Does

• Discover exposed assets across HTTP, DNS, and TLS contexts.
• Verify web hardening signals and transport/security headers.
• Track change between scans with baseline-aware diffs.
• Report in SARIF, Markdown, PDF, and JSONL evidence streams.

Safety by Default

• Authorization-first scope controls (domains, IPs, ports, protocols).
• Dry-run support, deterministic blocking reasons, and rate/concurrency guardrails.
