AWSGoat

# AWSGoat : A Damn Vulnerable AWS Infrastructure Compromising an organization's cloud infrastructure is like sitting on a gold mine for attackers. And sometimes, a simple misconfiguration or a vulnerability in web applications, is all an attacker needs to compromise the entire infrastructure. Since the cloud is relatively new, many developers are not fully aware of the threatscape and they end up deploying a vulnerable cloud infrastructure. AWSGoat is a vulnerable by design infrastructure on AWS featuring the latest released OWASP Top 10 web application security risks (2021) and other misconfiguration based on services such as IAM, S3, API Gateway, Lambda, EC2, and ECS. AWSGoat mimics real-world infrastructure but with added vulnerabilities. It features multiple escalation paths and is focused on a black-box approach. AWSGoat uses IaC (Terraform) to deploy the vulnerable cloud infrastructure on the user's AWS account. This gives the user complete control over code, infrastructure, and environment. Using AWSGoat, the user can learn/practice: - Cloud Pentesting/Red-teaming - Auditing IaC - Secure Coding - Detection and mitigation The project will be divided into modules and each module will be a separate web application, powered by varied tech stacks and development practices. It will leverage IaC through terraform and GitHub actions to ease the deployment process. **Presented at** - [OWASP Singapore Chapter](https://owasp.org/www-chapter-singapore/) - [BlackHat USA 2022](https://www.blackhat.com/us-22/arsenal/schedule/index.html#awsgoat--a-damn-vulnerable-aws-infrastructure-27999) - [DC 30: Demo Labs](https://forum.defcon.org/node/242059) - [Rootcon 16](https://rootcon.org/) - [BlackHat ASIA 2023](https://www.blackhat.com/asia-23/arsenal/schedule/#awsgoat--a-damn-vulnerable-aws-infrastructure-31311) ### Developed with :heart: by [INE](https://ine.com/) [](https://discord.gg/TG7bpETgbg) ## Built With * AWS * React * Python 3 * Terraform * PHP * Docker ## Vulnerabilities The project is scheduled to encompass all significant vulnerabilities including the OWASP TOP 10 2021, and popular cloud misconfigurations. Currently, the project contains the following vulnerabilities/misconfigurations. * XSS * SQL Injection * Insecure Direct Object Reference * Server Side Request Forgery on Lambda Environment * Sensitive Data Exposure and Password Reset * S3 Misconfigurations * IAM Privilege Escalations * ECS Container Breakout # Getting Started ### Prerequisites * An AWS Account * AWS Access Key with Administrative Privileges * OR use the IAM policy in the [policy.json](policy/policy.json) file for the minimum permissions required for an AWS Access Key. ### Installation To ease the deployment process the user just needs to fork this repo, add their AWS Account Credentials to GitHub secrets, and run the Terraform Apply Action. This workflow will deploy the whole infrastructure and output the hosted application's URL. Here are the steps to follow: **Step 1.** Fork the repo **Step 2.** Set the GitHub Action Secrets: ``` AWS_ACCESS_KEY AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY ```

**Step 3.** From the repository actions tab, select the module to deploy and run the ``Terraform Apply`` Workflow.

**Step 4.** Find the application URL in the Terraform output section.

### Manual Installation Manually installing AWSGoat would require you to follow these steps: (Note: This requires a Linux Machine, with the /bin/bash shell available) **Step 1.** Clone the repo ```sh git clone https://github.com/ine-labs/AWSGoat ``` **Step 2.** Configure AWS User Account Credentials ```sh aws configure ``` **Step 3.** Traverse into the respective modules' directory and use terraform to deploy AWSGoat ```sh cd modules/module- terraform init terraform apply --auto-approve ``` # Modules ## Module 1 The first module features a serverless blog application utilizing AWS Lambda, S3, API Gateway, and DynamoDB. It consists of various web application vulnerabilities and facilitates exploitation of misconfigured AWS resources. Escalation Path:

## Module 2 The second module features an internal HR Payroll application, utilizing the AWS ECS infrastructure. It consists of various web application vulnerabilities and facilitates exploitation of misconfigured AWS resources. Escalation Path:

**Recommended Browser:** Google Chrome # Pricing The resources created with the deployment of AWSGoat will not incur any charges if the AWS account is under the free tier/trial period. However, upon exhaustion/ineligibility of the free tier/trial, the following charges will apply for the US-East region: Module 1: **$0.0125/hour** Module 2: **$0.0505/hour** # Contributors Jeswin Mathai, Chief Architect, Lab Platform, INE Nishant Sharma, Director, Lab Platform, INE Sanjeev Mahunta, Software Engineer (Cloud), INE Shantanu Kale, Cloud Developer, INE Govind Krishna Lal Balaji, Cloud Developer, INE Litesh Ghute, Software Engineer, INE # Solutions The offensive manuals are available in the [attack-manuals](attack-manuals/) directory, and the defensive manuals are available in the [defence-manuals](defence-manuals/) directory.
