AWS and containers
Profiling containers in AWS during a penetration test is essential to identify security vulnerabilities and ensure the robustness of containerized applications. PowerShell provides a versatile platform for conducting these assessments in conjunction with AWS modules and container-specific cmdlets. The following are examples demonstrating how PowerShell can be utilized to profile containers in AWS during a penetration test.
Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) enumeration
PowerShell allows listing all repositories in Amazon ECR, providing an overview of container images:
# List all ECR repositories Get-ECRRepository
Docker image analysis
PowerShell can inspect details of a Docker image, identifying potential security issues:
# Get details of a Docker image docker inspect <image_id>
ECS task definition examinations
PowerShell scripts can analyze ECS task definitions, ensuring proper configurations:
# Get details of an ECS task definition...
