After countless hours of hard work, late nights, and excessive caffeine, Tyler Ramsbey has completed his Intro to AWS Pentesting course! The course will be available on May 12th for $20 on Simply Cyber Academy with lifetime access.
This structured, guided course is designed to help cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts dive into AWS penetration testing, offering hands-on learning beyond random YouTube challenges.
You Should Know:
Essential AWS Pentesting Commands & Tools
1. AWS CLI Basics
aws configure Set up AWS credentials aws sts get-caller-identity Check current IAM user aws iam list-users List IAM users
2. S3 Bucket Enumeration
aws s3 ls List all S3 buckets aws s3 cp s3://bucket-name/file.txt . Download a file aws s3api get-bucket-acl --bucket bucket-name Check bucket permissions
3. EC2 Instance Exploitation
aws ec2 describe-instances List EC2 instances aws ec2 describe-security-groups Check security groups nmap -sV -p- <EC2-IP> Scan for open ports
4. Lambda Function Testing
aws lambda list-functions List Lambda functions aws lambda get-function --function-name func-name Inspect a function
5. Privilege Escalation Checks
aws iam list-attached-user-policies --user-name <username> Check user policies aws iam simulate-principal-policy --policy-source-arn <user-arn> --action-names "" Test for privilege escalation
6. CloudTrail Log Analysis
aws cloudtrail lookup-events --lookup-attributes AttributeKey=Username,AttributeValue=<user> Track user activity
What Undercode Say:
AWS pentesting is a critical skill in cloud security. Understanding misconfigurations in S3 buckets, IAM policies, and EC2 instances can prevent major breaches. Always:
– Use least privilege principles
– Regularly audit permissions
– Test Lambda functions for injection flaws
– Monitor CloudTrail logs for suspicious activity
For hands-on practice, check out AWS’s own security labs or Pentester Academy’s cloud courses.
Expected Output:
A well-structured AWS pentesting course with practical labs, command-line techniques, and real-world attack simulations to enhance cloud security expertise.
