GitHub Stats
About CloudFox
CloudFox is a tool for identifying exploitable attack paths within cloud infrastructures. It enumerates IAM permissions, secrets, and network exposure to uncover potential vulnerabilities in AWS and Azure environments. Written in Go, CloudFox helps security professionals assess the security posture of cloud deployments by revealing misconfigurations and access control weaknesses. The tool is essential for cloud security audits and penetration testing.
About WeirdAAL
WeirdAAL (AWS Attack Library) is a Python framework for offensive testing of Amazon Web Services environments. It organizes AWS attacks into categorized modules covering enumeration (listing resources, permissions, and configurations across services), exploitation (abusing misconfigurations and excessive permissions), and persistence (creating backdoor access). WeirdAAL supports testing across a wide range of AWS services including IAM, EC2, S3, Lambda, STS, CloudTrail, and many others. Each module performs a specific action - from enumerating all S3 buckets and their ACLs, to checking for privilege escalation paths through IAM policy misconfigurations, to creating persistence mechanisms via Lambda backdoors. WeirdAAL uses boto3 and works with standard AWS credential configurations, making it easy to test with compromised or provided access keys.
