🐍 Python Module for MITRE ATT&CK Technique Detection

Technique Name: Account Manipulation: Additional Cloud Roles

Technique ID: T1098.003

Technique Description: An adversary may add additional roles or permissions to an adversary-controlled cloud account to maintain persistent access to a tenant. For example, adversaries may update IAM policies in cloud-based environments or add a new global administrator in Office 365 environments. With sufficient permissions, a compromised account can gain almost unlimited access to data and settings (including the ability to reset the passwords of other admins).

This account modification may immediately follow Create Account or other malicious account activity. Adversaries may also modify existing Valid Accounts that they have compromised. This could lead to privilege escalation, particularly if the roles added allow for lateral movement to additional accounts.

Describe the solution you'd like

With authentication from compromised credentials, create a new group or role within Google Workspace. Then create a new user and add the user to this new group or role. As an option from the config, it should be possible to add a default admin role as well which would be a good signal for privilege escalation.

Additional context

Requirements: 
- Google Admin API
- Python packages (google-auth google-auth-oauthlib google-auth-httplib2 google-api-python-client, email, base64)
- Scopes:  https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.group and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user

Module Workflow:
Step 1: What is the group or role to create? Enter a group or role:
Step 2: What is the user to be created? Enter your user email:
Step 3: Create group or role
Step 4: Create the user account
Step 5: Assign the group or role to the user account

Module Actions:
 1. Authenticate
 2. Create group or role
 3. Create user account
 4. Add user to group or role
 5. Cleanup: remove user from group or role
 6. Cleanup: remove group or role
