S3Sec : Check AWS S3 Instances For Read/Write/Delete Access

S3Sec tool was developed to quickly test a list of s3 buckets for public read, write and delete access for the purposes of penetration testing on bug bounty programs.

Installation

Clone the git repo onto your machine:

git clone https://github.com/0xmoot/s3sec

Usage

Check a single S3 instance:

echo “test-instance.s3.amazonaws.com” | python3 s3sec.py

Or:

echo “test-instance” | python3 s3sec.py

Check a list of S3 instances:

cat locations | python3 s3sec.py

Setup AWS CLI & Credentials (optional)

To get the most out of this tool you should install the AWS CLI and setup user credentials.

With AWS CLI a series of deeper tests (including unsigned read, writing files and deleting files) is activated:
