A comprehensive guide and workflow for detecting unauthorized data exfiltration from AWS S3 buckets. It details how to leverage multiple AWS services—including CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Amazon Macie, and Athena—to analyze access patterns, identify bulk downloads, and detect cross-account data transfers, ensuring robust cloud compliance and security monitoring.

Amazon Macie is a fully managed AWS service utilizing advanced machine learning and pattern matching to discover, classify, and protect sensitive data (PII, financial records, credentials) stored in Amazon S3. It provides deep visibility into your cloud data, enabling comprehensive Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and compliance auditing by identifying specific sensitive data types through automated and targeted discovery jobs.

This guide details building ransomware-resistant, immutable backup infrastructure using the restic tool and S3 Object Lock (WORM). It automates backup creation, enforces data integrity through checksum checks, and mandates retention periods, helping organizations adhere to the advanced 3-2-1-1-0 backup strategy.

Automate security scanning for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using best-in-class tools like Checkov and tfsec. This method analyzes Terraform, CloudFormation, and Kubernetes manifests to detect misconfigurations, enforce policy-based governance, and prevent common security vulnerabilities (e.g., public S3 buckets) before deployment. Essential for establishing secure CI/CD pipelines and meeting compliance standards.

This skill guides the setup of a robust, centralized logging pipeline using Fluent Bit and Fluentd. It covers collecting logs from diverse sources (syslog, files, applications), routing, filtering, and enriching them before sending them to destinations like Elasticsearch, S3, or Splunk. Ideal for centralizing observability and building secure logging architectures across distributed infrastructure.

ScoutSuite is an open-source, agentless tool designed for comprehensive AWS security posture assessment. It queries AWS APIs to automatically enumerate resources across various services, identify critical misconfigurations (like public S3 buckets or overly permissive IAM roles), and generate an interactive HTML report. It is ideal for conducting cloud security audits, compliance checks, or incident response procedures using read-only credentials.

A comprehensive guide to investigating AWS account compromises by querying CloudTrail logs. Use boto3 or AWS Athena to filter suspicious activities—such as unauthorized API calls, S3 data exfiltration, or IAM privilege escalation—to reconstruct a detailed attacker timeline and generate a professional forensic report.

A comprehensive guide for authorized red-team assessments using the Pacu framework. This process details how to enumerate IAM policies, scan for privilege escalation paths, test data access across services (S3, DynamoDB), and simulate lateral movement to determine the blast radius of compromised AWS credentials.

A comprehensive guide detailing systematic steps to remediate Amazon S3 bucket misconfigurations that expose sensitive data. Procedures include enabling S3 Block Public Access, auditing and restricting overly permissive policies and ACLs, enforcing default server-side encryption (KMS/AES-256), and using AWS Config/Security Hub for automated compliance checks. Essential for achieving robust cloud storage security compliance.

This skill focuses on detecting and mitigating sophisticated code injection and privilege escalation attacks across the entire serverless ecosystem (AWS Lambda, Azure, GCP). It combines static analysis of dangerous code sinks (e.g., eval, exec) with continuous monitoring of event sources (S3, SQS, API Gateway) and rigorous IAM auditing. It provides a comprehensive framework to secure the expanding serverless attack surface.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide and structured SQL templates for performing deep forensic investigations on AWS cloud logs. It utilizes AWS Athena to query massive datasets from CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, S3 access logs, and ALB logs. Ideal for detecting unauthorized access, data exfiltration, and privilege escalation during security incident response.

Provides step-by-step techniques for assessing AWS security, covering IAM enumeration, privilege escalation, SSRF metadata attacks, S3/Lambda exploitation, and red-team persistence workflows with recommended tools and commands.
