Networking in AWS
When conducting a penetration test on AWS infrastructure, profiling the networking components is crucial for identifying potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses. With its integration capabilities and AWS modules, PowerShell can be a powerful tool for networking profiling. The following sections cover several ways PowerShell can be used to profile networking in AWS as part of a penetration test.
Amazon VPC enumeration
PowerShell can enumerate VPCs and gather configuration information. Here is an example:
# List all VPCs Get-EC2Vpc
Subnet discovery
PowerShell can retrieve details about subnets within a VPC, including their CIDR blocks and associated route tables:
# List all subnets in a VPC Get-EC2Subnet -VpcId "vpc-snowcap-9827162"
Security group assessment
PowerShell can analyze security groups to identify open ports and assess the network security posture:
# List security groups and their inbound rules Get-EC2SecurityGroup | Select...
