- Add validated mitre_attack frontmatter to all 754 skills (286 distinct techniques), verified against MITRE ATT&CK v19.1 via the official mitreattack-python library: 0 revoked, deprecated, or invalid IDs - Curate precise per-skill technique IDs for forensics, malware-analysis, threat-intel, and red-team skills (e.g. DCSync -> T1003.006, Kerberoasting -> T1558.003, Pass-the-Ticket -> T1550.003) - Reconcile v19.1 tactic restructuring: Defense Evasion split into Stealth (TA0005) and Defense Impairment (TA0112); revoked T1562.* family and T1070.001/.002 remapped to active equivalents (T1685.*) - Normalize word-split tags across 35 skills (remove filename-derived stopword tags, add semantic cybersecurity tags) - Add api-reference.md for 3 skills that were missing it - Update README ATT&CK section with accurate v19.1 tactic distribution

# Performing Cloud Forensics with AWS CloudTrail
|
|
|
|
## When to Use
|
|
|
|
- When investigating suspected AWS account compromise
|
|
- After detecting unauthorized API calls or credential exposure
|
|
- During incident response involving cloud infrastructure
|
|
- When analyzing S3 data exfiltration or IAM privilege escalation
|
|
- For post-incident forensic timeline reconstruction
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- AWS account with CloudTrail enabled (management and data events)
|
|
- IAM permissions for cloudtrail:LookupEvents, s3:GetObject, athena:StartQueryExecution
|
|
- boto3 Python SDK installed
|
|
- CloudTrail logs delivered to S3 with optional Athena table configured
|
|
- AWS CLI configured with appropriate credentials
|
|
|
|
## Workflow
|
|
|
|
1. **Scope Investigation**: Identify timeframe, affected accounts, and compromised credentials.
|
|
2. **Query CloudTrail**: Use boto3 lookup_events or Athena to retrieve relevant API events.
|
|
3. **Filter by Indicators**: Search for suspicious user agents, source IPs, and event names.
|
|
4. **Reconstruct Timeline**: Build chronological sequence of attacker actions from API calls.
|
|
5. **Analyze Access Patterns**: Identify data access, IAM changes, and resource modifications.
|
|
6. **Identify Persistence**: Check for new IAM users, access keys, roles, or Lambda functions.
|
|
7. **Generate Report**: Produce forensic timeline with findings and remediation steps.
|
|
|
|
## Key Concepts
|
|
|
|
| Concept | Description |
|
|
|---------|-------------|
|
|
| LookupEvents | CloudTrail API to query management events (last 90 days) |
|
|
| Athena Queries | SQL queries against CloudTrail logs in S3 for historical analysis |
|
|
| User Agent Analysis | Identify tool signatures (AWS CLI, SDK, console, custom) |
|
|
| AccessKeyId | Track activity by specific IAM access key |
|
|
| EventName | AWS API action name (e.g., GetObject, CreateUser, AssumeRole) |
|
|
| sourceIPAddress | Origin IP of API call for geolocation analysis |
|
|
|
|
## Tools & Systems
|
|
|
|
| Tool | Purpose |
|
|
|------|---------|
|
|
| boto3 CloudTrail client | Programmatic CloudTrail event lookup |
|
|
| AWS Athena | SQL-based analysis of CloudTrail S3 logs |
|
|
| AWS CLI | Command-line CloudTrail queries |
|
|
| jq | JSON processing for CloudTrail event parsing |
|
|
| CloudTrail Lake | Advanced event data store with SQL query support |
|
|
|
|
