Comprehensive AWS security posture assessment using AWS CLI and security best practices
What this skill does
# AWS Security Audit
Perform comprehensive security assessments of AWS environments to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
## When to Use
Use this skill when you need to audit AWS security posture, identify vulnerabilities, or prepare for compliance assessments.
## Audit Categories
**Identity & Access Management**
- Overly permissive IAM policies
- Unused IAM users and roles
- MFA enforcement gaps
- Root account usage
- Access key rotation
**Network Security**
- Open security groups (0.0.0.0/0)
- Public S3 buckets
- Unencrypted data in transit
- VPC flow logs disabled
- Network ACL misconfigurations
**Data Protection**
- Unencrypted EBS volumes
- Unencrypted RDS instances
- S3 bucket encryption disabled
- Backup policies missing
- KMS key rotation disabled
**Logging & Monitoring**
- CloudTrail disabled
- CloudWatch alarms missing
- VPC Flow Logs disabled
- S3 access logging disabled
- Config recording disabled
## Security Audit Commands
### IAM Security Checks
```bash
# List users without MFA
aws iam get-credential-report --output text | \
awk -F, '$4=="false" && $1!="<root_account>" {print $1}'
# Find unused IAM users (no activity in 90 days)
aws iam list-users --query 'Users[*].[UserName]' --output text | \
while read user; do
last_used=$(aws iam get-user --user-name "$user" \
--query 'User.PasswordLastUsed' --output text)
echo "$user: $last_used"
done
# List overly permissive policies (AdministratorAccess)
aws iam list-policies --scope Local \
--query 'Policies[?PolicyName==`AdministratorAccess`]'
# Find access keys older than 90 days
aws iam list-users --query 'Users[*].UserName' --output text | \
while read user; do
aws iam list-access-keys --user-name "$user" \
--query 'AccessKeyMetadata[*].[AccessKeyId,CreateDate]' \
--output text
done
# Check root account access keys
aws iam get-account-summary \
--query 'SummaryMap.AccountAccessKeysPresent'
```
### Network Security Checks
```bash
# Find security groups open to the world
aws ec2 describe-security-groups \
--query 'SecurityGroups[?IpPermissions[?IpRanges[?CidrIp==`0.0.0.0/0`]]].[GroupId,GroupName]' \
--output table

aws s3api list-buckets --query 'Buckets[*].Name' --output text | \
while read bucket; do
encryption=$(aws s3api get-bucket-encryption \
--bucket "$bucket" 2>&1)
if echo "$encryption" | grep -q "ServerSideEncryptionConfigurationNotFoundError"; then
echo "No encryption: $bucket"
fi
done
# Find RDS snapshots that are public
aws rds describe-db-snapshots \
--query 'DBSnapshots[*].[DBSnapshotIdentifier]' --output text | \
while read snapshot; do
attrs=$(aws rds describe-db-snapshot-attributes \
--db-snapshot-identifier "$snapshot" \
--query 'DBSnapshotAttributesResult.DBSnapshotAttributes[?AttributeName==`restore`].AttributeValues' \
--output text)
if echo "$attrs" | grep -q "all"; then
echo "PUBLIC SNAPSHOT: $snapshot"
fi
done
# Check KMS key rotation
aws kms list-keys --query 'Keys[*].KeyId' --output text | \
while read key; do
rotation=$(aws kms get-key-rotation-status --key-id "$key" \
--query 'KeyRotationEnabled' --output text 2>/dev/null)
if [ "$rotation" = "False" ]; then
echo "Rotation disabled: $key"
fi
done
```
### Logging & Monitoring Checks
```bash
# Check CloudTrail status
aws cloudtrail describe-trails \
--query 'trailList[*].[Name,IsMultiRegionTrail,LogFileValidationEnabled]' \
--output table
# Verify CloudTrail is logging
aws cloudtrail get-trail-status --name my-trail \
--query 'IsLogging'
# Check if AWS Config is enabled
aws configservice describe-configuration-recorders \
--query 'ConfigurationRecorders[*].[name,roleARN]' \
--output table
# List S3 buckets without access logging
aws s3api list-buckets --query 'Buckets[*].Name' --output text | \
while read bucket; do
logging=$(aws s3api get-bucket-logging --bucket "$bucket" 2>&1)
if ! echo "$logging" | grep -q "LoggingEnabled"; then
echo "No access logging: $bucket"
fi
done
```

- 1.1: Root account usage
- 1.2-1.14: IAM policies and MFA
- 2.1-2.9: Logging (CloudTrail, Config, VPC Flow Logs)
- 4.1-4.3: Monitoring and alerting

bumblebee
IncludedRun Bumblebee supply-chain inventory and exposure scans on macOS/Linux to detect compromised packages, extensions, and MCP host configs.
harden
