How it works

Awsloot works by going through EC2, Lambda, CodeBuilder instances and searching for high entropy strings. The EC2 Looter works by querying all available instance ID’s in all regions and requesting instance’s USERDATA where often developers leave secrets. The Lambda looter operates across regions as well. Lambada looter can search all available versions of a found function. It starts by searching the functions environment variables then downloads the source code and scans the source for secrets. The Codebuilder Looter works by searching for build instances and searching those builds for environment variables that might contain secrets.

Usage
