Serverless-Prey : Serverless Functions For Establishing Reverse Shells

Serverless-Prey is a collection of serverless functions (FaaS), that, once launched to a cloud environment and invoked, establish a TCP reverse shell, enabling the user to introspect the underlying container:

  • Panther: AWS Lambda written in Node.js
  • Cougar: Azure Function written in C#
  • Cheetah: Google Cloud Function written in Go

This repository also contains research performed using these functions, including documentation on where secrets are stored, how to extract sensitive data, and identify monitoring / incident response data points.
