pentest-cloud

An authorized security-testing guide for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments. It examines cloud permissions, storage, computing resources, and possible paths to higher access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review IAM policies, role assumptions, storage buckets, access keys, MFA, instance metadata, security groups, and related cloud controls.
Why use it?
It helps teams find overly broad permissions, public data, unsafe settings, and privilege-escalation routes in cloud accounts.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pentest-cloud scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AWS Security Testing

IAM Analysis

  • Policy analysis (overly permissive, wildcard actions)
  • Role assumption chains and privilege escalation paths
  • Cross-account access assessment
  • Instance profile enumeration
  • Access key rotation and age
  • MFA enforcement verification
  • Service-linked roles assessment
  • Permission boundaries evaluation

Privilege Escalation Paths:

  • iam:CreatePolicyVersion
  • iam:SetDefaultPolicyVersion
  • iam:AttachUserPolicy / iam:AttachRolePolicy
  • iam:PutUserPolicy / iam:PutRolePolicy
  • iam:CreateLoginProfile / iam:UpdateLoginProfile
  • iam:PassRole + ec2:RunInstances / lambda:CreateFunction
  • sts:AssumeRole chains
  • ssm:SendCommand / ssm:StartSession

S3 Security

  • Bucket policy and ACL analysis
  • Public access detection
  • Bucket enumeration and content discovery
  • Pre-signed URL exploitation
  • Object-level permissions
  • Server-side encryption verification

EC2/Compute

  • IMDS (Instance Metadata Service) exploitation
  • IMDSv1 vs IMDSv2 enforcement
  • Security group assessment
  • User data scripts analysis
  • EBS volume encryption
  • AMI permissions
  • Key pair management

Lambda/Serverless

  • Function policy analysis
  • Environment variable secrets
  • Execution role permissions
  • Event source mapping
  • Layer analysis
  • VPC configuration

Networking

  • VPC configuration review
  • Security group rule analysis
  • NACL assessment
  • VPC peering security
  • Transit Gateway routes
  • VPN/Direct Connect security
  • VPC endpoints and policies

Azure Security Testing

Azure AD / Entra ID

  • User and group enumeration
  • Application registration analysis
  • Service principal permissions
  • Conditional Access policy gaps
  • PIM (Privileged Identity Management) review
  • Guest user permissions
  • Admin role assignments

Resource Security

  • Storage account access (shared key, SAS tokens)
  • Key Vault access policies
  • NSG rule analysis
  • Azure SQL security
  • App Service configuration
  • Function App security
  • Container security (ACR, AKS)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

pentest-cloud is a command published in the GitHub repository JoasASantos/ClaudeAdvancedPlugins (154 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 831 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
