Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "aws: This command allows you to interact with your AWS environment."

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

Set RHOSTS <<aurora instance>>
Set USERNAME admin
Set STOP_ON_SUCCESS true
Set PASS_FILE AuroraPasswords.txt 

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ aws s3api get-bucket-policy --bucket packtawspentesting --output text | python -m json.tool

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "The next screen will display the Configure options icon."
