- Valid AWS credentials (even low-privilege)
- Understanding of AWS IAM model
- Python 3, boto3 library
- Tools: Pacu, Prowler, ScoutSuite, SkyArk
Outputs/Deliverables
- IAM privilege escalation paths
- Extracted credentials and secrets
- Compromised EC2/Lambda/S3 resources
- Persistence mechanisms
- Security audit findings
