barq: The AWS Cloud Post Exploitation framework!

What is it?

barq is a post-exploitation framework that allows you to easily perform attacks on a running AWS infrastructure. It allows you to attack running EC2 instances without having the original instance SSH keypairs. It also allows you to perform enumeration and extraction of stored Secrets and Parameters in AWS.

Prerequisites

• An existing AWS account access key id and secret (Token too in some case)
• Python 2 or 3. It can run with both. To run the msfvenom payloads, you need msfvenom to be available on your workstation, with the PATH setup correctly.

Installing

For python 2:

pip install -r requirements.txt

For python3

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Better to create a virtualenv environment for the tool. Please note that using sudo with pip is not recommended.

TODO:

• Create a plugin-based class system for menus in the framework
• Add a feature to exclude attacker-defined IPs and ports from security groups.
• Add persistence functionality.
• Launch attacks against Lambda, S3 and RDS.
• Export hostnames, IPs and ports in an nmap-ready format for scanning.
• Integrate fully with Metasploit and Empire REST APIs.

Help

• From outside (in the terminal), run it with -help.
• From inside the tool, run help to see each menu's command options.
