+## [Firebase](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/firebase/)
+
+The Firebase Realtime Database is a cloud-hosted NoSQL database that lets you store and sync data between your users in realtime. [Learn more](https://firebase.google.com/products/realtime-database/).
+
+### Unauthenticated Enum
+
+Some **Firebase endpoints** could be found in **mobile applications**. It is possible that the Firebase endpoint used is **configured badly grating everyone privileges to read (and write)** on it.
+
+This is the common methodology to search and exploit poorly configured Firebase databases:
+
+1. **Get the APK** of app you can use any of the tool to get the APK from the device for this POC.\
+   You can use “APK Extractor” [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ext.ui\&hl=e](https://hackerone.com/redirect?signature=3774f35d1b5ea8a4fd209d80084daa9f5887b105&url=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dcom.ext.ui%26hl%3Den)
+2. **Decompile** the APK using **apktool**, follow the below command to extract the source code from the APK.
+3. Go to the _**res/values/strings.xml**_ and look for this and **search** for “**firebase**” keyword
+4. You may find something like this URL “_**https://xyz.firebaseio.com/**_”
+5. Next, go to the browser and **navigate to the found URL**: _https://xyz.firebaseio.com/.json_
+6. 2 type of responses can appear:
+   1. “**Permission Denied**”: This means that you cannot access it, so it's well configured
+   2. “**null**” response or a bunch of **JSON data**: This means that the database is public and you at least have read access.
+      1. In this case, you could **check for writing privileges**, an exploit to test writing privileges can be found here: [https://github.com/MuhammadKhizerJaved/Insecure-Firebase-Exploit](https://github.com/MuhammadKhizerJaved/Insecure-Firebase-Exploit)
+
+**Interesting note**: When analysing a mobile application with **MobSF**, if it finds a firebase database it will check if this is **publicly available** and will notify it.
+
+Alternatively, you can use [Firebase Scanner](https://github.com/shivsahni/FireBaseScanner), a python script that automates the task above as shown below:
+
+```bash
+python FirebaseScanner.py -f <commaSeperatedFirebaseProjectNames>
+```
+
+### Authenticated Enum
+
+If you have credentials to access the Firebase database you can use a tool such as [**Baserunner**](https://github.com/iosiro/baserunner) to access more easily the stored information. Or a script like the following:
+
+```python
+#Taken from https://blog.assetnote.io/bug-bounty/2020/02/01/expanding-attack-surface-react-native/
+#Install pyrebase: pip install pyrebase4
+import pyrebase
+
+config = {
+  "apiKey": "FIREBASE_API_KEY",
+  "authDomain": "FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN_ID.firebaseapp.com",
+  "databaseURL": "https://FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN_ID.firebaseio.com",
+  "storageBucket": "FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN_ID.appspot.com",
+}
+
+firebase = pyrebase.initialize_app(config)
+
+db = firebase.database()
+
+print(db.get())
+```
+
+To test other actions on the database, such as writing to the database, refer to the Pyrebase4 documentation which can be found [here](https://github.com/nhorvath/Pyrebase4).
+
+### Access info with APPID and API Key <a href="#access-info-with-appid-and-api-key" id="access-info-with-appid-and-api-key"></a>
+
+If you decompile the iOS application and open the file `GoogleService-Info.plist` and you find the API Key and APP ID:
+
+- API KEY **AIzaSyAs1\[...]**
+- APP ID **1:612345678909:ios:c212345678909876**
+
+You may be able to access some interesting information
+
+**Request**
+
+`curl -v -X POST "https://firebaseremoteconfig.googleapis.com/v1/projects/612345678909/namespaces/firebase:fetch?key=AIzaSyAs1[...]" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"appId": "1:612345678909:ios:c212345678909876", "appInstanceId": "PROD"}'`
