Leverage credentials to access AWS resources Target: Leverage discovered credentials to access AWS resources for lateral and vertical movement. tool: use aws-enumeratorTool enumerates AWS permissions. step: 3. Access S3 bucket Target: Leverage new AWS credentials to access S3 bucket and obtain sensitive information. tool: Access an S3 bucket using the AWS CLI. step: For more details please refer to:Uncover Secrets in CodeCommit and Docker,b | tari Blog SSRF to Pwned A brief description of the attack idea 1. Initial information collection Target: Assess the security of the Huge Logistics website and investigate potential risks to its cloud infrastructure. tool: use whoisTool to view IP information. step: 2. Discovering public S3 buckets Target: Find and access Huge Logistics' public S3 buckets. tool: Use the AWS CLI. step: 3. Exploiting SSRF vulnerability to access metadata Target: Exploiting a Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability to access AWS metadata. tool: Modify website request parameters. step: 4.
