conducting-cloud-incident-response

conducting-cloud-incident-response is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai. It costs 76 tokens per session (2,703 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for responding to security incidents in cloud services such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It covers investigating cloud logs, restricting identities, isolating resources, and preserving evidence from systems that may be temporary.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when cloud access keys, service accounts, compute instances, storage, or permissions may have been compromised. It helps analyze audit logs, network logs, and cloud security alerts while collecting forensic evidence.
Why use it?
Cloud incidents involve accounts, APIs, and short-lived resources, so traditional on-premises investigation steps may miss important evidence. This provides provider-specific ways to contain the incident and investigate what happened.

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

conducting-cloud-incident-response 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/agent.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Conducting Cloud Incident Response

When to Use

  • Cloud security posture management (CSPM) alerts on unauthorized resource changes
  • CloudTrail, Azure Activity Logs, or GCP Audit Logs show suspicious API calls
  • Cloud access keys or service principal credentials are suspected compromised
  • Unauthorized compute instances, storage buckets, or IAM changes are detected
  • A cloud-hosted application is breached and attacker activity spans cloud services

Do not use for on-premises-only incidents with no cloud component; use standard enterprise IR procedures.

Prerequisites

  • Cloud-native logging enabled and centralized: AWS CloudTrail (all regions), Azure Activity/Sign-in Logs, GCP Cloud Audit Logs
  • IR-specific cloud IAM roles pre-provisioned with read-only forensic access
  • Isolated forensic account/subscription/project for evidence preservation
  • Cloud incident response runbooks specific to each cloud provider
  • Cloud-native security tools: AWS GuardDuty, Azure Defender for Cloud, GCP Security Command Center
  • Network traffic logging: VPC Flow Logs (AWS/GCP), NSG Flow Logs (Azure)

Workflow

Step 1: Detect and Confirm the Cloud Incident

Identify the scope and nature of the compromise:

AWS Indicators:

CloudTrail suspicious events to investigate:
- ConsoleLogin from unexpected geolocation or IP
- CreateAccessKey for existing IAM user (persistence)
- RunInstances for crypto-mining (large instance types)
- PutBucketPolicy making S3 bucket public
- AssumeRole to cross-account roles
- DeleteTrail or StopLogging (defense evasion)
- CreateUser or AttachUserPolicy (privilege escalation)

Azure Indicators:

Azure Activity Log events to investigate:
- Sign-in from anonymous IP or TOR exit node
- Service principal credential added
- Role assignment changes (Owner, Contributor added)
- VM created in unusual region
- Storage account access key regenerated
- Conditional Access policy modified or deleted
- MFA disabled for user account

GCP Indicators:

GCP Audit Log events to investigate:
- SetIamPolicy changes granting broad access
- CreateServiceAccountKey for existing SA
- InsertInstance in unexpected zone
- SetBucketIamPolicy with allUsers
- DeleteLog or UpdateSink (log tampering)

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.
